I liked the CMC pick, but we just picked a very similar player at #40. He's a faster, less skilled CMC.

They are similar but different.  Samuel is faster, much faster

Wanted Jones but Buffalo got him.  So we went Samuel. So far this draft is going just as I wanted it to go.

Who was available that's not a project? Can't say Godwin, Henderson, etc. All projects but Samuel is a freak. I'm excited

You can argue that every draft pick is a project, but guys like Godwin and Henderson are actual WRs,

"Cam needs weapons!!! Gettleman hates Cam and does not want to give him weapons!!!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!"

Drafts two offensive playmakers.

"Not those weapons. Cam needs other weapons. Gettleman sucks!!!!! ARRRGHHHH!"

Some people just live to complain.

At this point, I'm honestly not even sure that we actually take the ability to catch a football into consideration when evaluating WRs.

Did you actually watch an Ohio State game this year.  By your comments, I would say no.

Now all we need is some hog mollies on that front line to protect Cam..

Samuel will play the slot per his conference call with the media

I've been watching the Patriots win Super Bowls with shifty players like CMC and Samuel for years. I like it a lot.

I swear some people are just blind homers. And this crazy world will just keep on spinning.

Hope the kid is great, but definitely not a fan of the pick.

Brutal honesty, the track record of the huddle being pissed about a pick has not been kind. We don't exactly have a bunch of draft gurus here. This is the same board that predominantly wanted nothing to do with Cam and Luke at the time of the picks.

Just let him prove himself.

Only two. He double catches a lot of balls.

If he were an ultra polished WR, he would have gone in the 1st round, if not top 10 with his measureables. Obviously there's a few reasons he fell to the 2nd round.

LOVE IT, this offense was S L O W before this draft

Well I guess that's better than what Ginn does already.
