So we replace the joke of having a TE as our primary return man, and replace him with.........a slow RB with very little movement. If we just want to find the biggest man to return the ball lets just put Joe Staley back there, he was a TE after all......
Guys we have on the team with return experience:
Nate Clements
Reggie Smith (great return man in college)
Arnez Battle
I mean come on, can we at least put a guy back there who has a chance to break one for a big gain?
This is where having Desean Jackson would really take our return game to where it needs to be.
Don't make me cry thinking about missed picks....
It does outline the fact that we need to bring in a legit and dangerous return man. I hope we made a major push for Josh Cribbs, I'd hate to find out that we offered like a 5thr ound pick for him and then walked away.
We can draft a special teams PR/KR only guy for a 5th round pick...
Josh Cribbs adds nothing else.
