Head coach Jon Gruden finding a No. 1 wide receiver won’t take place until the draft rolls around. There simply aren’t any available in free agency, and stud DeAndre Hopkins was traded elsewhere. Hence, Gruden and general manager Mike Mayock are content addressing the lack of depth at the position between now and the first

    Ruggs at 12, Gruden will do an Al Davis, taking the fastest dude at the combine. The difference, he catches the ball unlike DHB.

    I know many think we may use 19 for a CB and I would have little issue depending on who we take, but I can see us getting another S to pair with Abram.

    This is a camp guy. He has issues with drops, something Gruden hates with a passion.

    I thought he would be a lot more productive when he came out of college.

    I think this is a solid signing by Mayock. I get that he underperformed in Philly and certainly drew the wrath of Eagle fans. A new start on a team that certainly needs QUALITY depth at the WR position. As for drops – he had more targets than T. Williams with 1 less drop. His overall production however really fell of the cliff. Expecting a rookie WR to become your number 1 immediately is a tall order. Julio Jones in his rookie year scored 8 TD’s and under 1,000 yards before becoming a perennial All-Pro. I’ll take those numbers from whomever they draft but we’ll still need strong production from the other WR’s. Let’s cross our fingers that Mayock hits on this draft close to how he did last year.

      Great point about expecting immediate production. However, remember that Amari Cooper as a rookie caught 72 passes for 1,070 yards and six touchdowns from a second-year quarterback. So, there are exceptions, and with this receiving class, it might be the norm.

    Of qualifying WR, FO ranked Agholor #81 (out of #81) in ‘19,
    #78 (out of #84) in ‘18,
    and #88 (out of #94) in ‘16.
    In ‘17, his only good year, FO ranked him #32. Agholor did not play enough to qualify as a rookie, but if he did, he would have ranked #82.

    Agholor == meh….
