It's not about having speed. It's about having a #1 type that can really make Sam shine. I think we can get one and still fix the OL giving him the time to find that #1. But that aside...
I can understand wanting one of the premium guards (Yankey/Su'a-Filo/Jackson or some combination thereof) But wanting one of them AND Robinson/Matthews doesn't make sense to me.
We have Saffold and Barksdale as well. Between them and Ya'a-Son and Robinhews, we have three positions they're going to play: Left Guard, Right Guard and Right Tackle. That means you're sending one of your proven players or high draft picks to the bench.
I'm with Burwell, we need "big nasties" to punch defenses in the mouth.
Watkins will be a rookie next year which means he'll have a lot to learn. He won't dominate like you think.
Givens had a down year last year. His rookie season he had 5 consecutive games with a 50+ yard gainer. I'm willing bank on him and Bailey. An incredible OL only helps them. Quick needs more reps, not less. Watkins doesn't help that cause.
In the end we are a run first team with multiple PM's to catch the ball. It makes WAY MORE sense to draft the nastiest OL'man in the draft rather than a WR. Rams taking a look at Britt seals it for me. Watkins will not be a Ram.
