According to McShay, We Should Move Up for WR

There will be

I'm saying how would you feel about moving up 7-8 slots. Giving up a couple mid-late round picks isn't going to jeopardize our future if we get our guy and he turns out as expected. Just trying to weigh all options and get some discussion going.

 

Somebody is going to fall. If we had traded our fifth rounder last year to move ahead of the Jets to get Star (everyone thought they might take him) we would not have Klein, a guy I think starts at OLB this year.

 

I see the logic, but WRs are already very risky picks.  To move up for one is bold.

I like this idea, but as other poster's have said, it just doesn't seem like Gettleman's style.

 

This time of the year may be all smoke and mirrors, but I really haven't seen teams lie about drafting philosophy. Teams who draft according to need lie about which positions they are targeting, BPA teams don't really comment on whom they'll draft because it's so hard to predict which prospect falls in the first place.

 

PS. Who really cares what Todd McShay thinks?

[PantherPhann89]

No, I don't think that giving up picks at this point of the teams development is a wise thing to do. We're a young team coming off a one game playoff appearance, BPA each round. If we hit on our picks, we're still in it this year...

[pantherclaw]

What an idiot.

[ajax4132]

No we  shouldn't Todd

 

Are the bars open at ESPN early today?

We need picks. I don't think we are in a position to mortgage the future.

I think it all depends on what the trade cost us.  It's not mortgaging the future like it was before the rookie pay scale.

But in a draft this deep it's no need to trade up unless something crazy happens if anything need to trade down an get more picks.

To my understanding Gman waits till we're on the clock and then picks who's left at the top of our board hence why all the picks on our end were so freaking fast last year.  He doesn't overthink.

and yep..if a trade happened we could still retain the same amount of picks.  basically swap firsts and our 5th with someone's 7th to move up a few spots.

I saw on one of the shows that the year Fitzgerald was picked, there 8(?) WR picked in rd 1.

I think he's the only one still in the league. I'm sure that was "deep" WR class as well. Too risky to move up.

Now if we moved back and had two options at WR, our chances would be better. There's not much consensus on who's best after top 2.

[Soul Rebel]

Watkins

Evans

OBJ

Lee

Matthews

Latimer

Robinson

Benjamin

Cooks

 

One of these will be there when we pick.  The three with strikethroughs will be gone, but all of the remaining WRs will be starters.  No way all of the above plus Moses, Bintonio, Kouandjio, and Martin are gone at 28.

[TheNewStandard]

I think we need at least 3 starting players out of this draft and giving up a 3rd would jeopardize those chances. We need a starting DB, OL and WR. We realistically need two linemen.

Unless the guy we are moving up for is a bonafid super star, we need every pick we have.

[beastson]

Its pretty evident we're drafting Latimer if he's there
