I've all but given up on drafting that type of player. People forget it took years for Delanie Walker to become that guy. Unless you're willing to invest 2-3 years developing that player, don't expect them to come in and be Delanie Walker. Marquise Gray was as good a prospect as any, but he couldn't contribute right now. It may work out better if we talked a big receiver, like Delanie was coming out of college, but even still, expect 2-3 years to develop that player.

There is a search function on this forum, can we stop making the same thread over and over again?

I expect us to target a developmental player of that type either late or in UDFA. McDonald is still improving, and was only a rookie. As many have mentioned, Walker took several years to get his status. McDonald is not a lost cause. Let's see what improvement he can make, and develop someone as a tertiary backup in the meantime.
