i don’t even think he has to be.
he was barely a 1000 yard receiver last year, and washington was still a very dominant offense. the ball was spread around, and the tight ends were features heavily. if the rams decide to go tight end early in the draft, that guy could could quickly become the main receiving threat in this offense. drafting a guy like bucky hodges will basically be drafting a huge wide receiver in the mold of a graham.
plus mcvay never had a guy like gurley taking pressure off the passing game. now of course goff and gurley could be busts, and none of this will matter. but woods will be just part of a whole. if he ends up being a number 1 receiver all the better, but i don’t think this offense has to bank on him being that. they just need him to be better than britt. and he can be that just by being a leader. a professional who comes in. works hard. knows the offense. runs precise routes. a guy the qb can rely on. basically everything britt wasn’t.
Though Woods and Whitworth are 11 years apart in age, both are regarded as highly disciplined players with outstanding work ethic who can lead by example.
yeah. this is what i like.
both pass the character test with flying colors it would seem.
need some leadership. i’ve always read about how competitive and professional those two guys are. no red flags.
britt, on the other hand, came across as a knucklehead dating back to his days with tennessee. talented for sure. but a bonehead.
Now we need a Center and help on the DLine. I’m assuming a Center or 3-4 DE will be picked with our 2nd round pick.
i wonder if they’d take mcdowell if he got to them. i also wonder how they rank kpassagnon.
also maybe sanbagger gets his wish and elfein becomes a target with that second rounder.
me: pretty much sounds like a younger, less expensive Garcon.
i don’t know about in terms of style or anything, but statistically his first four years are comparable to garcon.
I love the Whitworth signing. Whitworth, GRob, C, Saffold, Havenstein looks like a pretty decent o-line depending on what they do at center.
I think they might have overpaid for Woods whose production makes him seem like a younger version of Britt but he may not have hit his ceiling yet and they needed a WR so it’s all good…
oh i like the whitworth signing. just not sure yet about the woods signing. but maybe he gets better. could be a late bloomer like garcon was. he’s been solid so far in his career. and he’s still young.
i think this sets them up well for the draft.
a little underwhelmed, but with what garcon was getting i’m fine with it. this is a not too expensive deal for a somewhat productive guy who will only be 25 come april.
he probably is what he is though with not too much room to improve. but maybe.
at this point i’d be over the moon if they could add one of the premium tight ends in this draft or just draft defense for rounds 2-4.
either way i’ll be happy.
i’ll say this. he’s performed at a high level, and while he’s 35 years old, his body hasn’t been beaten up like your typical 35 year old nfl body has. he came into the league as a 25 year old. he’s only been playing at the professional level for 11 years. and olineman can typically play longer anyway, so hopefully he’s taking care of his body.
and this draft class was pretty horrible at tackle.
