Every time I've heard him asked about this year's draft (maybe 2 or 3 times on 1530 in the afternoon), he mentions receiver as a likely option. Hobson, however has kind of dismissed it out of hand, and absolutely dismissed the possibility of drafting a smaller receiver like Ross in 1.
I really feel like they'll take a pass catcher in 1 unless Thomas or Fournette make it to them. Howard qualifies for this, too.
Although Boyd looks to be a fine player and LaFell has exceeded expectations, this team still has yet to replace Marvin Jones. Nobody on the roster now does what he did. The need remains the same as it was at this time last year.
I personally think Hobson is full of shit. It think Ross is very likely.
