Thoughts on next year's WR corps

[da#1ravensfan]

I think he will get the Donald Driver treatment.

I Think We Need To Trade LaQuan Williams and Tandon Doss For some Draft picks this year so we can Keep Boldin and draft a new Receiver such as Deandre Hopkins and a Better Press Cornerback in this Years Draft
[/quote]

What you're saying is that we should trade future contributors at WR for other [u]potential[/u] future contributors at WR. This makes so much sense.

LaQuan and Tandon aren't going to be traded for two blatant reasons. They have no trade value at all. They are the future of this receiving corps.

[/quote]I agree, honestly if you think a team is going to give up draft picks for two relitively unproven guys; well thats just insane. This isnt Baseball, where can give a team some prospects for a decent player.

And you definitely can't give up prospects for other prospects.

boldin is still our number one receiver. the fact that he is lined up in the slot doesn´t hurt the fact that he is our best receiver.

look at wes welker.

of course torrey and jones are lined up on the outsides. they are on the team to stretch the field and make room for boldin, pitta and dickson. they get the long passes, the sexy plays but boldin and the tight ends are doing their job as well.

boldin is more for the team than a 1000 yard receiver....

This. It's amazing that this needs to be explained and discussed! Boldin has single handedly won us games when NOTHING else was clicking! Where is the loyalty and appreciation? He isn't even in a decline, he is actually still killing it out there when he gets the ball. Can we just enjoy the season and let the FO do their thang?

Go Ravens!

[/quote]If we Draft DeAndre Hopkins we could trade doss because he has some value for teams who need receivers like Dallas and oakland and we need to Release Laquan Williams, Sean Cosidine, and corey graham, anthony allen and Sign Omar Brown Antoine McClain, Bobby Rainey ,and Adrian Hamilton from the Practice Squad to help our defense and further solidify our offense and if we can maybe trade Laquan Williams and cary williams for any pick or picks in this years draft

They'd probably only net a 7th round pick, if that.
[/quote]at least it will still be something

I'd much rather have Doss, who has fantastic hands, and LaQuan, who has some good potential, than another Anthony Allen or DeAngelo Tyson.

I could be wrong but I think you are jumping the gun by at least a year or more. Boldin's value to the team goes beyond what he does or can do on the field. The help to younger players and locker room stability holds value too. Look at Ray Lewis at 37, and the value he adds toward stability.

Believe me I hear you but the discussion to trade or cut Boldin at this point is counter productive. Who among the WRs have more than two years of experience outside of Boldin and Jones? And Jones just got here.

Teams without stabilizers tend to come apart at the seam. Lets not jump and go that route to save a dollar and ends up costing the team much more in the end.

im guessing that u forgot that we did do it recently with mason and heap and pitta/dickson had only one year under their belt and the young guys stepped up and thats what the FO bets on

other than that pick six cary hasnt looked good and we wouldnt get no higher than a 5th round for cary....laquan might end up losing his job to streeter next year if Thompson continues to be a playmaker moree so than laquan

Trade the young WRs with promise to keep the expensive vet? Thats probably the worst idea i've heard on a while. By the way , we have a young press cover corner. His name is Jimmy Smith.

Sure.
[/quote]Reed's roster spot has absolutely nothing to do with paying Boldin too much money. No need to get an attitude about it.
