I wanted Maclin in the 2009 draft. I would be happy with him.
I would try to sign Maclin, perhaps Cobb (though I'm not convinced he's more than a WR3), but keep Harvin until the deadline. If you land Maclin, cut Harvin. But don't act on Harvin until you have to.
I don't see how or why people aren't giving Cobb more credit when he caught 91 passes for 1300 yards just about and 10 plus tds. That wasn't all A. Rodgers you know, Cobb had something to do with obtaining those kind of stats. The year before I believe Cobb about 70 passes. I maybe wrong about that but you get my point. Point being is why are people acting like Cobb is Santanio Holmes or something. He is a legimate #2 WR at the least. Just as good or better then Decker and we can't go wrong with that. I won't dispute that Maclin is a #1 bonafied WR but Cobb is a excellent #2 if not a bonafied #1 at 24 years old as well.
Maclin would take care of the WR position. So I'd be on board with that. One less position we need to think about with our first couple of draft picks.
If you view him as a legitimate starting, #2 WR, how much do you offer Cobb?
And if the Decker signing was bashed as rewarding a guy for his QB, the same will be the case for Cobb.
Andre Johnson will be available too.

He's a definite #1 , but he's also a short-term fix at his age. If you're a team like the Jets, do you opt for the short-term guy, or do you seek a more long-term guy as a starting WR?
Can't argue that. I say offer Cobb what we offered Decker and if that's low balling him then offer him about 2 mil more mostly because he is younger. He is only 24 yrs old so offering him alittle more makes sence but we shouldn't get ridiculious with it. Look at it like this, is Brown the product of Big Ben alone or is Brown that talented. Just because Brown is small like Cobb I think people are short changing Cobb but I don't they would do that to Brown becuase they fell he is that talented. Lets not forget that Brown has no other real threats yet on the field with him. The rookie they drafted last year is up and coming real fast but not there yet. Cobb has a legit #1 WR in Nelson that gets tons of balls thrown at him which takes away from Cobb getting 30-40 more balls at him a year.
Note: Not saying Cobb is as good as Brown but do we really he's not? Put Cobb on a team where he is the main and only option for the most part and who says he can't put up similiar numbers as Brown did?
I would not trade for him at his age but if no trade happens and he ends up getting cut I am all in
Johnson will be a Pat!!
God I hope not. He'd be the best WR they had since Moss.

They will find a way around the rules.
Really? He is 34 and is surely on the way down. He is out of Houston because of a decreased role. He has little left. If the Pats want to pay that crazy money for him I'm all for it.
Because he makes lots of plays, 85 receptions, at 15 ypc, or the same ypc as Dez, Demarius Thomas, and Julio Jones....he a consistent big play WR.
