Let's break it down by player.
Justin Hunter: This dude has so much potential and everyone can see it. Most people are calling this a make or break season for his career. I tend to agree but I also feel it is unfair to any of our receivers if we do not have solid play at the QB position. Coach Whiz is trying to assemble a team that mirrors his success in the past. Hunter fits the build perfectly. Whiz had Fitzgerald and Boldin during his Super Bowl run. Hunter and DGB both serve those roles. Hunter is a perfect number 2 if DGB is as beastly as he can be.
Dorial Green-Beckham: The REAL Beckham, ok maybe not yet, but he has the raw ability to be the best Beckham in American football. He is huge, fast, athletic, but didn't play last season. Stereotypical WR with a lot of potential and skill but had attitude issues. I think he will be fine in Nashville and I project him to dominate early on. Fantasy breakout for sure. I would say Mett fits his style better but Mariota will have to step up and throw some bombs to Hunter and DGB. Great pick as well. Bravo Webster. Kendall Wright: Probably the most versatile player. He had a down season but so did the Titans. He needs to be more involved. He is a baller out there and can dominate the slot. I don't have very many negatives to say about him. We will see how Mariota works with Hunter and Wright after their embarrassing reaction to the draft pick.
Delanie Walker: Great season. I expect him to do more of the same. It really looks if Walker demands the most attention and three guy above will have opportunities.
The Rest:
Hakeem Nicks
Harry Douglas
Tre McBride
I hope Douglas and Nicks serve a roll but I do not want them to stunt our youth movement. Nicks may just need a change of scenery and Douglas was solid when asked to step up after injuries to Julio Jones. I don't know much about McBride but if he makes the team he will probably be a special teamer. But I have heard that he has been solid so far. Good luck to him. My overall consensus is that our receiving core can be elite if on field production matches up to potential. This is a very exciting group and I think we will be impressed if Mariota handles the NFL translation well. If not is could be another year before we see an explosive offense. The arsenal is ready but can we put it together?
Let me know if you have something to add or I completely whiffed on something.
Thanks!
