  1. Im gonna say this... If  browns have a great draft this year we are in trouble. Imagine if they go all all defense in first 2 rounds( which is what i would do)  or 3 defensive players and maybe fournttte if he drops to 12. That could potentially put them a QB away from competing.

    Yea... I think it is true to say that you don't NEED a great WR to win a super bowl, but not to the extreme of saying that great WRs don't win Super Bowls. 

    Brady's always had a number of weapons - Gronk as you pointed out but also Edelman and last year Hogan played a big role, Bennett and they just got Cooks. 

    Denver had Demaryius and Sanders. 

    Even Seattle - Baldwin really started breaking out. 

     

    You think about our SB and the plays that got us there... the Pitta/Boldin vertical seam TD catches in the red zone, Jacoby in Denver, Joe's ballsy audible to throw to Boldin hot for that 1st down conversion with the game on the line, Pitta's multiple huge 1st down catches while getting drilled... Torrey stretching the field.

    Our loss to NE the year before came down to a WR not making a play. Otherwise we're in back to back SB's. 

    We always cite Joe's crazy run... but it also coincided with his weapons playing the best they have since he's been here. 

     

    And Williams, imo, fits exactly what Joe's missing. That Boldin/Pitta 2012 presence of being open when covered, making the crucial tough catches in crunch time. 

     

    Theres players id take over Williams, but certainly not passing him up just bc you can get away with not having great WRs. 

    I agree mostly with what you said, but none of those wrs you mentioned are great. Gronk is great but he is a TE. Thomas and Sanders are good, but no great like the likes of julio, fitz, calvin type.. I feel like a lot of Raven fans want a julio,fitz, calvin type but do we really need that though? I would love to have wrs that play to our strengths, however id take a great pass rusher over a great wr anyday. if our stuff feels like Mike williams is the BPA, im for it

    Julio and Fitz got to the Super Bowl and only fell just short. And the Ravens won the super bowl in part because of Boldin's great play.

    As for past great receivers to win the Super Bowl: Gronk (he's more of a receiving threat than a blocker), Colston (Saints in general had a top tier receiving core that year), Reggie Wayne, Greg Jennings, and Hines Ward.

    Saying great WRs don't win Super Bowls is just inaccurate. Over the last twenty years the winners (and losers) tended to have some top tier play makers on offense.

    " julio and fitz got to the super bowl" getting to SB and winning are two different things. " Boldin great play" yes he played great, but he is not by any means a great wr, but a he is a good one... Gronk is not a WR dude cmon lol... Colston, reggie wayne, greg jennings and hines ward are all not great wrs. Reggie wayne maybe, but not anywhere close to the ones I mentioned...... Seems like you just made up some bs to make my argument seem inaccurate...like i said the last great wr to win a SB was jerry rice

  4. i hope we dont draft a Wr in the first round even  if Mike williams, corey davis or john ross turn out to be great nfl wrs. Last great wr to win super bowl was jeryy rice. That means no ring for moss, carter,calvin,owens, julio, fitz etc. All we need are wrs that can play to our QB and system strengths.
