Love this back and forth and it's been mostly civil. Washington has one of the most interesting WR corps.
PRich got good money, but I think the contract reflects the value of his role as a lid lifter and d breaker, and the fact they didn't have a player in that role last year. They forced Vernon Davis into that, but he wore down as injuries elsewhere elevated his every down role. I don't think Richardson'll be solely a downfield decoy, they obviously would have to vary it, and that would include some slot snaps. But, I think he'll primarily be a perimeter chunk play guy.
Crowder meshes the best with Alex Smith's historical pattern of play, but it'll be interesting if Smith maintains his QB play from last year. I expect they'll play Crowder snaps out wide, at least at the beginning of the season. If he shows he can hold up and maintain performance, an extension would make sense. They need to know if they have a slot-only WR like Landry is derided as. They can't allow themselves to be in the position of the Dolphins were this offseason, who let a productive WR go because they didn't know if he could play out wide.
Doctson is the most interesting WR here. They've cleared the deck, so to speak, for him to be the primary WR. I think he's the upside play. I think he's also the reason they haven't really augmented the WR corps, like bringing in Dez. If he can't handle being the primary guy, they'll let Crowder and Doctson go and target a primary weapon. Everything's lining up for Doctson. Whether he seizes the opportunity is the question.
Almost by accident I ended up with all three of these on a rebuilding team that will need to start one of them every week. I'm just hoping they dont spread things around too much and that one of them explodes. Doctson is the one I hope for because Richardson has that boom/bust D.Jax feel and Crowder has the ppr/slot ceiling (which is capped severey whenever Reed plays and by Thompson). But Doctson also has the lowest floor. If he doesn't click w Smith quickly he could go the way of Chris Conley.
