Willie Snead is the next breakout Wide Receiver
Let’s not sell Willie Snead short (no bun intended, haha). Currently, he’s our top Wide Receiver and he should get at least 26-28 percent of the target share. Even if we draft Wide Receivers heavy, this Offense should utilize Willie Snead’s skill set to the fullest.
His quickness, ability to get open in the zone, and good hands are key to taking the next step in this Offense. Willie Snead may be the next Wes Welker or Julian Edelman within this system. Remember, Wes led the Patriots in catches nearly every season, including when Randy Moss was there.
“No team has relied more on slot receivers than the New England Patriots. From Troy Brown to Wes Welker to Julian Edelman.” https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/tags/julian-edelman
The Baltimore Ravens would be wise to follow this pattern.

Re: Willie Snead is the next breakout Wide Receiver
I think Willie Snead is going to haev a nice little year here and hopefully earn a contract as our slot guy for the next 4 years.
That being said, is he going ot become an elite, or even a star WR? I personally don't think so. I think he can be the Dennis Pitta safety blanket type player. He's great at navigating the middle of the field and had some solid first down conversions lsat year. But I dont think he's going to become Welker or an Edleman.
Pulling for him though."Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic.”

Re: Willie Snead is the next breakout Wide Receiver
His role is an important one, especially for this offense. He'll be very important on 3rd down.

Re: Willie Snead is the next breakout Wide Receiver
I really like Snead's game. He's not overly fast, but he runs nice routes, he catches damn near everything, and he is an effort guy after the catch. Plus, he's a willing blocker. I really like all of those attributes about his game. To top it all off, he's only like 26 IIRC.

Re: Willie Snead is the next breakout Wide Receiver
I think you are seriously under estimating any impact WRS are going to have from a statistical standpoint going forward with Jackson at QB, and this offensive philopsohy they appear to be implementing which will be run first, run second, and throw type of offense.
He had a normal average numbers last year himself. He will never replicate the numbers he put up with the Saints due to QB and offensive scheme are no where near the same level to allow him to be that.
He will probably be this teams best WR, but his number will still probably be 600-800 range I would expect.

Re: Willie Snead is the next breakout Wide Receiver
In this offense and because Lamar likes to throw over the middle, I think Snead could definitely be the team leader in receptions.
