I haven't seen enough of Miles Austin to have an opinion. I dislike giving away draft picks for RFA players, I'll say that much.
Worked out okay for New England on the Welker deal, though.The Aqua Crush likes this. -

Not going to happen. Plus I think our wide reciveing core is good reight know. We have bigger problems to adress this offseason.

The FO has already shown inclinations towards acquiring a bigger WR (bigger as in taller than 6'2) as the missing piece next to a glut of short WR's. -

If they can somehow swing a beck for austin deal Id jump in a heartbeat. Id be willing to even toss in a 6-7th rounder as well. But a second or even third is to much.

I still disagree with Mel regarding the Jake Long pick. That pick will only look better each and every year, no matter what anyone else does. Which brings up the importance of LT or Oline, which is almost always overshadowed by the QB position for importance.
I can agree with him on the Ted Ginn pick, yes he's been slowly developing and might be a good WR next year or the year after, but for the 9th overall pick he hasn't played to that expectation. I was also shocked when we took him, but i am pulling for him to live up to that expectation and don't think it's impossible after last season for him to get to that level of play.
Mel needs to realize what our prospective situation was, we had a good feeling we coudl get a qb in round 2, we had 2 second round picks, and Jake long was the safest pick to turn into a very good starter. And we nailed it, there is no justification to make that pick look bad. It's like saying the year brady was drafted that every other pick is now terrible because in the 6 rounds of selections each team didn't take brady. Its nonsense, what all good football people know and understand, who cares what otehr picks end up doing, as long as your pick comes in and plays at a high level instead of being cut a year later then it can be deemed successful.
And finally in the comments I really like how the one person mentioned Leinhart. Mel was all over that guy much more so than Matt Ryan pre selection process and look what happened. Cutler turned out much better Mel, but funny how you didn't mention your own ravings that were "not right".azfinfanmang, Coral Reefer and mullingan like this. -
Why do we want to waste a pick on a reciever in the same type of situation with one we already have in London. I have seen good things out of him so why waste a pick. I do like our young WR corps how it is unless we add DHB from UMD. That would make it more explosive. I guess we will just see how F/A plays out, but lets keep the picks.

This is just a rehash of Mando's article from a few days ago, nothing new...somehow though, every ex-player that the Trio had any association with will be 'rumored' to be coming here...So Miles is no exception...
That's not to say I wouldn't like to see him here, but it's likely the 'Boys will match any offer for him...I doubt that they want to get rid of him... -
austin could be pretty good. lots of potential IMO. if we could swap him for beck and maybe low round pick. id be happy

Hes solid but hes close to what we already have.
Like a slightly faster version of Camarilo -

There are !!, thats ELEVEN players on each side of the ball and the QB isn't even the MOST important, except to Mel.The Aqua Crush and azfinfanmang like this. -
Am I wrong in thinking that Austin would be a pretty good size upgrade to our smurf squad?
And Puka, I totally 100% disagree that QB isnt the most important player on the team. -

Some people are going to say No way Nicks is there at #44, but then again if I asked you this time last year "how many WRs would go in round 1 and who will be the first WR drafted?" Almost no-one would tell me the correct answers of 0 and Donnie Avery.
If we do not got WR with one of our first three picks I exspect us to use a later round pick (4th, 5th, or 6th) to get a End-Zone Receiver... A big, tall possession WR. Ireland believes in drafting players that fill a "role", well we certainly need a Go To Reciever in the End Zone... ahhh how I miss Orende Gadsden.CrunchTime likes this. -
Yeah UCF i am kinda feeling the same. I think we need a big Wideout that can make defenders cover the sidelines. I think it will depend who is on our board and if their there in Round 2. If not, look for a big body WR in the late rounds.
