What does the departure of Knox mean to the Bears recieving corp?
Means Marshall, Jeffrey and Benett will get bumped up on the Depth Chart.
oh wait.
lolz. Means we're looking at a guy that, at the least can: run really fast, when getting chased, runs in the direction he's supposed to, and doesn't run horrible routes.
doesn't mean much, he was never coming back; anyone that thought he was had a problem w/reality.
I'll assume they try and draft a guy late that is a burner or pick a guy in FA/UDFA to try and fill that spot.
nada
Bears will bring in a new guy for depth... small, fast, running routes
We need a speed guy who can add an element to our offense
I'd expect it being a late rounder or udfa, the price tag of FAs may be a bit steep
I wouldn't be shocked to see a wr taken at 3/4 however (3 in case of a trade down)
If a burner with talent is there we may pull the trigger on wr earlier than expected because we still need a fill in 3 guy for when not if Bennett goes down
Well if all were looking for is a guy with enough speed to stretch the field we can find one almost anywhere or try to figure out a way to get Hester open and get him to catch the ball when it gets to him. I still think he'd be more effective playing out of the slot than at Flanker but that's one discussion I'm tired of having.
Then there's the question of whether or not Trestman even worries about a speed guy in his offense since it's not designed around a down field passing game. I guess I'm gonna wait to see what personnel moves Emery does make and use that to get a better idea of how they're gonna approach it.
