I'm not saying Morris can't play but he comes across as only a late round gambe. Now the whole draft is a crap shoot but there are players like Calico who fit the need MUCH BETTER than Morris. Kevin Kasper or Nathan Poole already fill the role that Morris could bring. If I had a choice between Gage and Morris late in the draft, I would still pass Morris for Gage.
I don't think Gage will be available when we draft Morris. And Morris is exactly the type of receiver that we need. He is an intelligent, consistent receiver and could possibly be a late round gem.
If I were to draft Morris, I would probably have already added one on the first day of the draft (1-3) and I would look for him as early as the late fourth to early fifth. Maybe a sixth round.
Nate Poole, while he has made plays before, is not a legitimate NFL receiver. He is actually quite a bit slower than Morris' average speed (4.6 to Pooles 4.7) and he is about the same size. We've cut Poole 2-3 times now in his brief career, so I wouldn't even say it was a lock for him to make the team.
Kasper is actually pretty much a possesion receiver despite is very ordinary size (5'11) and his pretty good speed (4.5-4.4) but he is a little fragile (he has had numerous injuries in his short career).
