Which NY WR would you like...

Otherwise Braylon would be awesome to bring home and Santonio is a great clutch player. Both would be very good additions. Plax has had issues pre-Jail that I’m not sure I want like being late for practice and not showing up for OTAs type stuff. Though I would never argue that Plax is one of the best recivers I have ever seen and if we could work out a very restricted contract that includes punishment for some of these things and an easy out for the Lions I’d be open to him I suppose. I guess to pick one I’d have to look at what each one brings to the table and what we would need from them. I suppose I’d like Braylon more but we probably could benifit from Holmes more than him. Plax brings alot of the same skills as calvin but would create a hell of a duo and put Nate back in the slot. Even though I am not opposed to keeping Nate where he is now and adding a guy like Breaston in the slot. So to answer your question….I dunno LOL probably Santonio makes more sense

Braylon is gonna want to be paid like a #1 WR, mmmmmmm no thanks

Homes is gonna want the chance to be a #1 but will settle for #2 money on a good team, and we already have Nate.

If I had too choose one I’d actually take Plax, he can be a solid #2 and move Nate to slot. And I don’t think he’ll have people lining up at the door with his age. That’s even a long shot of him coming here.

I would sign Holmes if I had the chance, and he was cheap. I think there are a lot of WRs available in the draft or will be available in FA that can fill that spot [# 3 WR].

You want a guy that has a little speed to beat a safety. They need to run good routes and catch the ball when it is thrown to them. But we also need a WR3 that is affordable because they are only on the field part time.

Of all the guys that were mentioned, Steve Breaston best fills that role. He may also be more affordable than the others. But I am not sure he will be affordable enough since he might get WR2 money from the Cardinals.

I am still of the mind that we should get our WR3 on the cheap. The nest solution would be for Derrick Williams to step up, but that is definitely not a sure thing. Maybe Aaron Brown could switch to WR to win a roster spot. He seems to catch the ball pretty well and he has good speed. Maybe Tim Toone will have developed enough to get a shot at the spot. Seriously, if we can salvage one of those guys that is the best possible option for the Lions.

While having a good WR3 is nice, it is not so critical that we cannot try one of the guys we have there. We have options on the roster that can cover that spot. Stefan Logan, Jahvid Best, and Tony Scheffler have all filled the WR3 role with good results. So it is not like we cannot cover the position if the draftees don’t work.

I sincerely believe the need to bring in a new player for this position is overblown. We have options on the roster now and backup plans in case they don’t work. We should let the existing situation play out.

yup over Edwards, Holmes and Burress the kid would be killer w/ CJ81 and Nate.

We can’t tie up that much money at the WR position.

While the players follow the money, owners need to balance the money. To me, it makes sense to have one star per position and to pay that person as a star should be paid. Beyond that, the other players are there to supplement the top guy.

We already overpaid to secure Nate. While I feel he would be better in the slot, we need to find our #2 through the draft. A lot of people point out Mike Wallace on a guy we passed on in the draft, he would have easily won the 2 spot had we drafted him. There are more Mike Wallace types out there and that’s what we need.

We have to pay for defensive backs. It’s fun to sepculate about what our team could be with a superstar ensemble of wide receivers, but that mentality made us one of the worst teams in the league.

Manningham has the most upside I would say…His rookie deal is up already?

someone who can make a last second play to win the game.
