Tom Brady made a career out of throwing 6 yard passes on 3rd and 5 to "small" quick receivers who knew the offense, understood defenses and had numerous quick moves they could use to get open - Welker, Amendola, Edelman, Brown, etc.
He also threw 5 yard passes on first down to the same guys knowing it was fairly automatic and kept drives going/got them into 2nd and shorts.
He also used them to win Super Bowls - remember Edelman catching pass after pass against us?
What type of receiver do you want with 2 minutes to go in the game/Super Bowl on 3rd and 4 from your own 45 yard line down by 4?
I would say one like Edelman or Kupp (healthy) who can be trusted to be open where your QB expects him to be.
I say this to point out the thought that WR who run 4.2whatever or 4.3whatever are the ones a team needs to draft highly.
Rarely is there a 4.3whatever WR who is the kind of WR you need in the afore mentioned scenarios.
Give me McConkey or Malik Washington instead of 4.3whatever.
What does everyone else think?
