Peter King on the Receivers

Kenny Britt is flaky. Darrius Heyward-Bey's hands and route-running are suspect. Hakeem Nicks was overweight and not in great shape when the Ravens worked him out Friday. In other words, the receivers are a suspect group, and a few of them we thought would be picked in the first round are going in the second.

Let 'em fall. The Bears will scoop 'em up...

More quasi-love for Massaquoi. I don't know whether to start buying the hype, or be very, very nervous:

 

“I love (Georgia WR) Mohamed Massaquoi. Anyone that interviews him will love him, but he was not even the best receiver on his own team. (Freshman WR) A.J. Green was the best. (Massaquoi) does not have top-end speed and he has some stiffness to him. He’ll always lack top-end (speed), but he will be a very good No. 2.”

And CNN/SI has him rated ahead of Robiskie:

Todd McShay labeled the guy out of GA who's name I'm not even going to try to spell as one of his underrated guys.

 

 

I thought it was interesting that he said Robiskie had a "low ceiling" and that he'd be a #3 WR at best. Yet he loved Massaquoi (spelling?) and said he could go as high as the Raiders early 2nd round pick and that the Bears could scoop him up.

 

Most importantly, unless there's an EXTREME run on WR's, there ought to be a pretty damn good WR available when the Bears draft at #49.

I would rephrase that to: Most importantly, unless there's an EXTREME run on WR's, there ought to be a pretty damn good SELECTION of WR available when the Bears draft at #49.

This position prooves to be a crap shoot every year. I hope we do get a wide sortment to choose from, though.

Just like I said about him last week. The guy doesn't do dick for three years, dropping balls left and right over that time, then AJ arrives to take on double teams every week (and STILL was the far more consistent receiver) and Mass finally has a good year with a phenom throwing him the ball. So now he deserves to go 49? I know, "it's a tossup, we don't know...crapshoot...blahblahblah," but don't tell me you can't judge a player as being worthy of a slot based on what he did over a four year college career. To me, Mass is not worth that pick even based just upon his Sr. season and postseason, tossing in the first three years makes him even less worthy of that pick.

So hypothetically speaking, who do you want the Bear's to pick? Let's say the top 7 WR's are gone AND we've committed ourselves to taking the best WR available (which I firmly believe we have done).

 

Do we take Iglesias, whose stock seems to be dropping since the combine?

 

Derrick Williams?

 

Which 2nd tier WR do you want?

I would want JA to commit hari-cari for making such a stupid decision.

 

Hypothetically speaking, of course.
