Why not Mike Evans

J.A.S.H.E.R. · 2014-02-24T21:44:47Z

I think he'd be a great pick.Evans is a BPA type of pick even though a lot of people would have a problem with it because we already have Jackson.I understand that but it's very short sighted ...For one in the short term this would put MW in the slot which would be exciting to watch. (Even though he's a moron off the field...hopefully things settle down)Long term you replace VJax with the best possible guy. He'd be excellent value at #7, we need help on offense more than we need a 3-4 LB like Barr or Mack.We're only 1 injury away from having the Jets receiving core, probably worse which is scary. We need to score point's & Vjax needs help.I know there is depth in this WR class but we only have 5 picks (thanks Dom) Evans is gonna dominate in the NFL much like VJax.He is a stud that is being overshadowed by Watkins. We really have to consider this because our offense needs another big time weapon.Evans fits the bill as a true #1 as good as anyone in the draft so why not pick him?Say hypothetically Watkin's is there at #7 even though we know he won't be. I think in some ways Evans would be as good a selection as Watkins. I like Sammy but he is very raw, and remember what Licht said "We're not talent collectors, we're looking for good fits."Evans is the next Vincent Jackson, no need to list pro's and cons, we all know what type of player he is.To me he even has the same fire and energy as Jackson. Plus he's got the size and toughness to handle the punishment of the NFL.On passing downs lets look at VJax, Watkins, MWill, Tim Wright, and Martin/Demps. This line up wouldn't put much stress on our pass blocking because their would be more short passes and screens, this offense would be a much different dynamic than we've ever seen in Tampa besides our QB being a huge question mark. Defense's would finally respect our ability to throw it deep so they can't stack and jam as much. 40-60 yard touchdowns would be much more prevalent.Now on the flip side... VJ, Evans, MW, Tim Wright, & Martin/Demps. Perhaps a more efficient offense that will move the sticks all day, deadly in the red zone, better blocking on the perimeter, and down the field/back shoulder fades would just be silly. MWill and Tim Wright would be perfect to handle the underneath stuff. We wouldn't have a speed demon so the offense would still lack explosiveness. That's where I think we look at a guy like John Brown out of Pittsburg St in the middle to late rounds.Remember this @ScottHanson In last five years 15 WR's have run *official* sub 4.4 at #NFLCombine. Only 1 (Mike Wallace) has a 1,000 yard NFL season.”So Watkins is kinda risky being picked so high. I think Evans is a safer pick. I truly see Evans as an ideal #1 target. Why wouldn't you want the next Vincent Jackson?Now if we don't go Evans then go offensive line with the first pick.I'm tired of fearing the pass rush of our division foes, the week leading up to NO/CAR horrifies me, because I know our oline is going to get manhandled, the offensive will be dreadful and sloppy and our QB tossed and slammed like a rag doll. I'm SICK of watching defenders like Cam Jordan, Hardy and Charles Johnson dominating our backfield and doing their sack dances over and over. To me there is nothing more demoralizing.So let me know what you guys think, will we even consider Evans?

..with that being said I wouldn't mind seeing the Twin Towers on the outside with Mike Williams running slot. The match up nightmares that would cause on Sundays would be unbelievable.

Yes, for us when we actually needed a guy to run a route and be in a spot.

But I think his consistent dropping of easy passes outweighs my nole pride on that one. the Seminole in me is terrified that he might end up in our division and that wed have to play against him twice a year The image of KB as a Panther is quite scary now that you mention it.

Drew Brees plus KB....................that's a real nightmare I figured it would be between them and the Saints because they are in the range he will get picked. The Saints just don't tend to use high picks on receivers because they don't need to. It would be scary though. Especially if they find a way to keep Graham.

There is a lot of ways we could go, but as much as I love Watkins...I wouldn't mind trading down. Grab Brandin Cooks mid to late round 1. Then grab my sleeper guy Martavious Bryant in the third (assuming we make a trade). Bryant is very similar to Evans, but just didn't get as many opportunities. I can tell you being a Clemson fan he reminds me of Featherstone from Necessary Roughness - fast as hell but cant catch a cold Posted : Feb. 24, 2014 10:31 pm Anonymous (@Anonymous) Posts: 0 Cabin Boy Guest no way on Bryant anywhere before the 4th rounddude did nothing at Clemson in a wide open offense. hes a guy that tests well but doesn't show up on gameday Posted : Feb. 24, 2014 10:44 pm Anonymous (@Anonymous) Posts: 0 Cabin Boy Guest Mike Evans at 7 over anybody even over Watkins. You cannot beat that size mixed with speed. He is a weapon. He is closer to Calvin Johnson than any receiver in a while. Posted : Feb. 24, 2014 11:46 pm Anonymous (@Anonymous) Posts: 0 Cabin Boy Guest We need a different type of WR. Evans may be good, but so is Watkins. You can get a good receiver without him being a clone of the guys we already have. We need speed. He is not a clone. Evans is much faster than Jackson.
