Who is your first round slider

The Raiders and Browns tend to draft for speed, and look to where that's taken them. I truly hope we don't draft a WR purely based on one physical attribute.

Names like Dorsett, D.Smith and Perriman have limited route trees and shaky hands.

 

We won't draft them based on one attribute, that's why we're working them out.  But, I do think that Gettleman is looking for a specific fit with a WR.  He's not just looking to add another WR, he's looking for a particular type of WR and it seems like that type he's looking for is a deep threat.

I think you're right, and it's going to go both ways. More so this year than we've seen in a while. A ton will slide, and a ton will be taken way too early, IMO. 1st round may be nuts.

It's going to be an exciting night for sure, can't wait to get off work, get some beer, and watch it all unfold. Titans trying to trade back, Skins trying to trade back, it's gonna be nuts!

I rather take a chance on a guy in the later rounds if we're looking for a deep threat to be honest. I'm not comfortable with Perriman, Dorsett or Smith early. Give me Lockett instead.

What about Algholor?  For me, he's the guy I'm excited about, that could potentially be in our range.  I think in most scenarios, he's a top of the 2nd guy, but could very well have a 1st round grade in this particular draft.  I think there's quite a few guys that could be said for in this one.

La'el Collins will be the biggest slider in this entire draft. He won't talk to the cops until after the draft has concluded. No team is going to chance a pick on a guy that is linked to the death of a pregnant woman.

With all the WRs we've visited with, it baffles me that we've left out Strong. 

 

 

I'm honestly kind of surprised myself.  Looking at that list though, there's only a few guys that break the 6' threshold.  The majority are 6' and under, and built for speed/quickness.  Obviously targeting specific attributes.

 

 

That list is incomplete. There's only 22 visits on that list and Gettleman said they used all 30.

    • This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case. 
    • And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo. 
    • I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
