I also think height on a receiver is overrated unless we are in the red-zone. A game-changing TE is critical at this point.

DrunkOffPunch Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Don’t understand the infatuation with tall WRs. The majority of the dominant NFL WRs this year were 5’10 - 6’1. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Pedro G Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I like to have Njoku. He gives us another big body. I, too, will be a little disappointed if we loss him. But we have big bodies at TE, and let’s see what Katerian Legrone can do at 6’3, and over 220 as a hybrid WR. Plus Hickman could be used as a hybrid WR in goaline situations. Providing that Hickman and Legrone are ready to play, we have those kind of receivers. While it be nice to add another — and an excellent one Njoku may develop into — I don’t see this as nearly a blow as it would be if we lost Wandale, who could become our biggest game breaking receiver since Fryer and Rodgers.

Julio Jones, Mike Evans, Michael Thomas, Adam Thielen, Travis Kelce, George Kittle were all in the top 10 in receiving yards - all are at least 6'2.

Your point is valid, but we will be okay as long as Allen and Rafdal progress. Hickman probably won't be ready and I'm not sure Njoku would have contributed much this year either.

Wouldn't be surprised to see at least one of them grow an inch or two to that 6'2 mark you referenced. Quote Link to comment

Edit- just to clarify I’m not saying I wouldn’t like some taller guys. I just don’t think it’s a necessity. A good scheme gets guys open and a lot of these taller guys in the NFL have supreme athleticism and route running skills so that they’re getting their separation at the break instead of bodying off guys and bullying smaller DBs for the ball. 2 Quote Link to comment

Robinson’s ability to separate from defenders in tight spaces? The fact Robinson will likely be a pro? Quote Link to comment
