    Small wide receivers we passed on for Saunders:

    Ellington
    Campanaro
    Gallon
    Herron
    Abbrederis

    Saunders? reach. not a good value pick. but hey we got our WR, 5'8 165. LOL. this guy better be running back TD's for us.

    With Ellington still on the board it's hard to love this pick cause he doesn't give us anything Kerley doesn't give us.

    He will be fine because you can't touch skill players anymore due to Goodell pussifying the NFL.

    Knew nothing of this guy. From his highlight reel he reminds me of Steve Smith, who happens to be one of my favorite players. I like this pick.

    Stretch the field.. We have two QB's with strong arms, why not have some real deep speed.

    This dude is pretty electric, he could do a lot of damage on bubble screens and slants, MM probably loves this pick.

    You think he's electric shoulda seen Bruce Ellington.

    Really fun player. He really gave fits to Justin Gilbert, who was the highest chosen CB of this class.

    David Nelson, Eric Decker and Stephen Hill are far from midgets.

    Campanaro could be a target of ours in the later rounds, or via UDFA. Wake Forest connection with Idzik.

    I wanted Abbrederis, but I understand that the concussion history is scaring people off. Remember Ryan Swope?

    I wanted Ellington cause he's 30 pounds heavier. I guess the Jets see something in this kid that none of us do.

    Stop the ridiculous hype people, he is not as fast as Cooks at all. He has a similar skill set but is neither as fast nor as big as Cooks. This pick probably cuts Ford, as Saunders will probably be our starting returner.

    I've seen him, I wanted him but I'm not crying that we didn't get him.

    This guy. gives us what Kerley does I'll be a pretty happy guy...... Kerley has became a fairly good WR.

    Saunders will probably be our primary returner but not see much action on offense. Stephen Hill will probably have a larger role on offense, as I've been saying for months.

    just really lets all be honest, this was a terrible pick, Ellington is superior player all around. Ellington is the poor mans cook, not this dude. Head scratching. The more I mull it over the more pissed off I am. Ellington is 5'9 , 197 - so much more solid frame. He's a tad slower than Cooks at 4.45, but after that, he's athletically the same as Cooks. Cooks just had massive output, whereas Ellington was more up and down. Ellington, its possible he becomes just as good a pro as Cooks. Instead we got our kick returner, OK GREAT I SHOULD BE SO HAPPY WITH THAT. f this pick.

    I don't count Hill at all in terms of expecting anything out of our WR's lol. I did forget about Nelson's height though. Okay they have some height at receiver but they still have all guys 6' and under at CB.

    Lol neither Ellington nor Saunders would see many snaps on offense at all, so we drafted the guy who can be a starting kick returner. What's so upsetting about that?

    Will we have a threat on punt returns now?

    I've been saying this for a while, we haven't had a guy who could take a 5 yard pass and make it a 50 yard TD. This guy seems to be able to do that. I don't know enough specifically about him, but it seems many people weren't this high on him. Positionally though, we are attacking our weakness in the draft, now in the next coming years we can see if the players themselves develop
