Speed at wideout who can perform in that X role is a need. LT of the future is a need. But the holes on defense are far worse.
Merlin I have heard the need for diversity at WR before. It was used some say by Kupp to justify moving on from Bobby Trees for that bum from the Bears. However if you don't go back to Tony Horne or AZ Hakim, I can't recall a consistent home run threat on any Rams offenses that operated efficiently enough. DeSean Jackson wasn't hear that long. Cooks maybe but, I thought it worked just fine with healthy Kupp and Woods. I would think the perfect complement to a Puka, and Woods/Kupp WR grouping might better be a Mike Evans/Dez Bryant type to help in the RZ over a BCooks Tyreek type burner.
Well I must admit that I was excited when we signed Allen Robinson but the signs were there with him in his dropoff in production the year prior. That compared to his age and the fact that he was never athletic was a very poor combination and a lesson learned.
Reason I mention that is because I agree Evans is a real nice target for us this offseason. But unlike Robinson he's still got juice with a 15.9 ypr and he's a big and physical guy who puts out 1k yard seasons so regularly he's a metronome in that regard. Also a lot of teams are going to be thinking draft for WR and rightly so. And Evans I would think would want to play for McVay and have Stafford throwing it to him.
If they go the draft route then you have a ton of options. But I'm hoping they get Dotson done before the offseason and Evans during FA. Then that early pick you're not taping McVay to a chair in the draft room while you pick a corner or edge or safety or DL that will help the defense take a big step forward.
Either way this is going to be the funnest draft in years. I'm really looking forward to this offseason because this team has cap space and a first round pick.
