Thinking about grabbing him. Thanks 1455492[/snapback] Taylor I think is decent but KRob has more upside if he stays clean. Is he available? From the Viking's web site Move of the Year On September 6, 2005, the Vikings agreed to terms with former Seattle Seahawks WR Koren Robinson, a former 1st-round draft choice (9th overall) in the 2001 NFL Draft.

Since then they have signed him to an extension for 4 years I think, at about 3.5 mill a year. So he's clearly the number one wr this year. Right now, I'd say it shapes up to Taylor and T-Will being 2A and 2B. Taylor will still see his share of playing time, but I gotta think they will work T-Will into the mix as much as they can in his 2nd year and take advantage of his speed.

Don't shoot the messenger. I think the re-signing of him is their move of the year. He succeeded some during the season and signing him to a new contract keeps him in house. They didn't want to lose a potential star. Jake, is he available in your draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Koren Robinson should have a very good year as the #1 in Minnesota, and frankly the new offense is 100% perfect for Troy Williamson. I think he could be the surprise WR of the year. I wouldn't waste a pick on Taylor. He'll get the regular medicore numbers that he always gets... maybe have one good game to tease owners, bbut in the long run is jsut never worth a roster spot. Of course those are just my opinions as a Homer. Who knows what Childress has in mind with these guys... can't wait to see how they are used in the pre-season.

TecmoBeast Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Brad Johnson is Mister Conservative, I wouldn't get too high on any Vikes receiver this year. Koren Robinson is definitely the one to go after if you do, but he'll probably only garner 1000 yds if he's lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down Goes Frazia Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 koren's the man IMO. He was a grade-A stud here in Seattle when he came up...... holmgren was blow'in him from day 1. then came the Josh Gordon...... then more Josh Gordon..... then the bong. he should fit right in in Minnesota. seriously.... he's got all the tools if his head's on straight. BIG frame... strong & fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Just ask DMD. He was rated very high a few years ago. He was expected to break out but then he broke out the bong instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I think Williamson could have a breakout year if they use him like the 2000 Rams used az hakim with the short passes or slant patterns to utilize his speed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
