We can't draft great WR's Curse! | Page 5

NinerDreamer11 · 2015-03-31T12:29:17-07:00

Has anyone else noticed that since T.O. we have not drafted a great WR, We've drafted so many since then, and all have failed. I want to start this list off from 1998 since we had only 3 picks in 97 but no WR's. 1998 Ryan Thelwell, 1999 Tai Streets (always favorite, but not a great) 2001 Cedrick Wilson 2003, Arnaz Battle and Brand LLoyd, 2004, Rashaun Woods, and Derrick Hamilton 2005, Rasheed Marshall, and Marcus Maxwell 2006 Brandon Williams 2007 Jason Hill 2008 Josh Morgan, 2009 Michael Crabtree, Who isn't a great a receiver, in case bandwagons say he was. 2010 Kyle Williams, we all know how that played out. 2011 Ronald Johnson 2012 AJ Jenkins From there it's Quinton Patton, and Bruce Ellington, which i feel like we don't give enough playing time to these guys, we never know how good they are until we stick them out on the field. Which other than these guys, we've always tried to sign someone, and nothing has worked out since Boldin has come along. I can only hope Torrey Smith brings some light. But i really feel like were cursed in this category now, maybe were spoiled since we had Rice and T.O. but i've been waiting for that NEXT T.O. to come up. I'd only wish we'd hire rice to recruit some WR's, he was right about Desean Jackson, we shoulda listened! But no, let's get Kentwan Balmer and Chilo Rachal who were both scrubs. SMH! anyways....Just wanted to bring this to your guy's attention, which i'm sure a lot of you knew this INFO, but this is for the ones that don't.

"F it. I'm becoming a Seahawks fan."

That's about a month late for a bunch of Zoners.

You forgot the second half of the statement: "...and troll the hell out of NT on every single move and in every single thread."

"I still miss the Mike Singletary days."

Ok, I liked this one. It took guts and abstract thought to even write this one.

Another repeat. Oh well, that was fun. At least for me. Sorry for the post-whoring. But not really.

This was my personal favorite: "I still believe there is no way our offense will be as dynamic without Roman."

What? I didn't get that one before I hit a string of repeats! Maybe you actually typed that one yourself on autopilot. You could be a secret cynic...

This one was worth pasting in:

How many of those guys from last year will be "truly great" though. Some guys have very good rookie reasons, only to never be heard from again, other guys will have their careers shortened drastically due to injury. How many "can't miss, will be the GOAT receiver" prospects how we seen that have miserably fallen flatten on their faces, year in and year out.

Rather than this complete obsession that some seem to have with the WR position, I'd say for a long time, this team didn't draft any position really well period. From the mid 90's to the mid 2000's, this team was awful at drafting and missed picks on pretty much every position.
