I think a lot of wrs are going to go in the second round before we pick. There are a lot of wr needy teams. I think there will be a big run on them in the late 30s and 40s.

He may not know what he's doing and the tennessee system is junk for nfl scouting but I really want to take a day 3 flyer on Dont'e Thornton. No one is talking about him and at the very worse he can run 3 routes and take the top off the defense as a wr 4. Basically play poor mans rookie Metcalf role

I just don't like taking a risky gadget player at 8. I personally feel like 8 is just a really bad spot and we should try to trade back if possible. All the players that would be really good for us are gone and then the second wave of players that would be good for us are a bunch of equally rated guys who some of them would easily be available at 14 or 15 which is more of their true value if we didn't reach.

Ohhh yea, I misread it.

I know it's irresponsible and crazy but to move from 8 to 3 and only give up next year's 2nd is pretty tempting. Especially if both Carter and Hunter are on the board. I've started to really like Hunter as a WR so he's grown on me a bit.

I agree. I don't think he's quite a first round lb and all the edge love is based on projection and potential.

Everyone talking about his 4.5 sacks in his career also should consider Micah Parsons had 6 in his college career. The NFL and college are different games with different coaching. He's definitely still a huge risk though.

He's not even that great at true contested catches. A handful of people are going to find ways to spin or ignore everything for their love of this guy and that's fine. No one will know who's right for a while.

I don't think your analogy works exactly. Yes results are all that matters in the end, but these are the best of the best going against one another. Any tiny advantage you can get can make a huge difference.

General work ethic and love of the game, and also I wouldn't care about watching my own tape, I would be grinding tape of the defense I'm up against. Learn tendencies etc

Yep, exactly. In the NFL these days you need quick shifty receivers that get open running their routes. Separation is key. We keep drafting wr's like it's 1999 and we are just going to throw deep balls in to double coverage, when the modern NFL defense is a shell that focuses on stopping over the top passes. We literally keep trying to build to what the rest of the NFL has already figured out and learned exactly how to stop. The same with chasing the seahawks and legion of boom defense always.

Sure, but there have been a lot more cases of these tweener guys not working out than there have been Hasson Reddicks.

My main concern for edge potential (which is the only way he's worth pick is that he doesn't have an edge build at all.

Yep. Much closer to Drake London than Mike Evans like some people want to say. Evans was much more explosive and better at using his size to make plays contested. TMac is better on the short and intermediate routes.

They literally used the individual fastest time for that post. Basically everyone there had him between 4.54 and 4.59. Just watch the tape. He's not a 4.4 guy. Also you usually add .05 for hand timed pro days.

As you said, when they chase after players to solve problems, you don't get the best players. I say throw all this out the window and draft the highest graded players, problem position or not. Free agency is for filling holes and solving problems, the draft is for adding talent, just focus on that.

Good teams don't bring in first rounders they want in their t30 visits. Good teams use them for late rounders and to find out info on other teams.

That's the same as reaching for need. Can't take one just to take one because they're expensive to sign. We already clearly need to add speed and have the slowest wr room there is.

I feel like he's different than most players we draft because he's only 21. Most raw "potential" dudes we draft are like 24.

We definitely still leak stuff like crazy. I thought we had gotten better but it was clear we hadn't the day before free agency when all the media was sayint all the moves we were going to make the next morning.

Yep, that's exactly what I've always thought. Legette is that type of player as well. A big guy that you throw deep 50/50 balls to when the modern NFL has deep shell coverage.

Just like all his other move and draft picks, he values positions like it's 1999.

I'm not a TMac fan but I just don't see Golden being worth 8. He makes some crazy catches but his tape is nowhere near his 40 time. If we take receiver at 8 I would rather it be a tight end. If we trade back then sure.

Hendrickson is a 43 defensive end. I don't think he could really play edge, so unless we are changing schemes I don't see it happening.
