2020 Free agent & Draft Wide Receiver thread. (1 Viewer)

[NOFALCONS10]

Im compiling a list of potential #2 Wrs for the coming free agency period after washouts like Cameron Meridith, TreQuan Smith, Dez Bryant, Ted Ginn jr, Keith KirkWood, and Emmanuel Butler haven't yet successfully filled the position.

Im of the opinion that the Saints are one or two great players away and need to go all in on a couple of superstars this offseason.

#2 wr has been the biggest hole on the team besides cornerback depth and that needs to change so without further ado the top two names on my Free agent list are:

1) Amari Cooper
2) Breshard Perriman

top likely to be available 2020 draft options:

1)Chase Claypool, Notre Dame
2)Denzel Mims, Baylor
3)Leviska Shenault, Colorado
3b) Jalen Reagor, TCU
4)Bryan Edwards, South Carolina
5)Justin Jefferson, LSU
5B) Michael Pittman JR.
5C)Isaiah Hodgins

They're not letting Cooper get out.

Amari Cooper is going to be very expensive, but I think if the Saints intend to keep Brees and let Bridgewater walk, they have to get some serious weapons on offense. Cooper would help a lot. A 41 year old Brees and the same offense will give us the same result next year.

Check out the finish that Breshad Perriman had.

He is very likely to be a cheaper alternative if we miss out on the Cooper Sweepstakes.

No way anyone will tag Perriman.

Breshad Perriman's Stretch Run was Unprecedented

Bucs WR Breshad Perriman finished 2019 on a tear, leading the league in several categories over the last five weeks and even accomplishing something that Mike Evans and Chris Godwin have not yet done

They still need to Re-sign Prescott and Cooper expressed displeasure in their scheme last year.

It's not entirely out of the realm of possibility that he walks.

Im usually all for drafting receivers but this year I think that the team should break the bank for a vet and no one would look better besides CGM than Cooper.

They're not letting Cooper get out.

There's a chance he could slip away because of Dak's impending mega contract he's going to fight for this off-season, combined with the fact they already overpaid Demarcus Lawrence, and Ezekiel Elliot.

Regardless Amari is not the guy I'd want to go after, he seems soft going up against Stephon Gilmore, and Marshon Lattimore they both got in his head and he did nothing against them.. and has been shut down in road games, he only seems to put up monster games in the comfort of Jerry World.

To me the top targets in this Free Agent class would be Breshad Perriman, Randall Cobb, Robby Anderson.

Older guys who will probably be overpaid: AJ Green, Emmanuel Sanders.

Mid tier; more affordable options: Danny Amendola, Travis Benjamin, Jarius Wright, Cody Latimer.


I'm fine going with the more affordable, lower - mid tier options like an Amendola, Wright, or Latimer... because this WR class is loaded in the Draft, some of the best receiving talent in years. Also considering the Saints cap situation.. it's tight.

True but you know Jerry wants to replicate the triplets from the 90s. He's their best receiver.

Amari Cooper, if he leaves Dallas isn’t coming here to be a 2nd or 3rd option and I can’t see us paying him the money he’ll want to be a #2 WR.

Sadly this is a bad year for FA WR’s. I would like to see us go after Robby Anderson.

 

[NOFALCONS10]

Perriman has had injury issues but is actually bigger and faster than Ginn and runs a 4.16.

He had more yards and as many TDs as CGM the last 5 weeks of the season..

Good thing it's an amazing year in the Draft for WRs.

Seriously; Jeudy, Lamb, Ruggs, Shenault, Higgins, Jefferson, Aiyuk, Reagor.... and more

This is the best class for WRs since 2014... guys don't freak out of the Saints don't land a big time Receiver in Free agency the plan might be the Draft...

 

[NOFALCONS10]

Trrue but you know Jerry wants to replicate the triplets from the 90s. He's there best receiver.

If he isnt tagged then he is fair game.

We will see what happens but Perriman isn't a bad consolation prize given our need for a game-breaker opposite MT

I personally think Perriman is the best target if you are to go after a Free agent in this class, he is fairly complete from a measurable standpoint; and looks like he is finally rounding into his own as a player in the league with his finish down the stretch.

Wonder how much resources Tampa can actually afford to use to retain him considering they already have Evans, and Godwin? Going from the #3 guy in Tampa to the #2 lining up opposite Mike Thomas seems like a pretty good deal; if the Saints can fit him under the cap...

 

[NatureBoy]

Because of the thin veteran FA WR class, I get the feeling Perriman will get well above his market value.
