WRs in this draft are DEEP

[Raskle]

I think with whatever comp pick we get, which we seem to always have, we go Mims in the late third if he's still around. That's how I see it shaping up, especially with the connection to Rhule.

This year's comp picks have already been announced. We don't have any.

But as far as our coaching staff connections go, I think Mims is a pretty likely addition. He's the type WR that our corps currently lacks. We sure do seem like we love our wild swings. In the twin towers days, we had all big WRs that couldn't separate. Now we have a bunch of small quick guys who lack size. In 2018 we couldn't rush the passer to save our lives, so this season we got rid of all of our size at DE and yes our pass rush improved dramatically, but at the cost of not being able to stop the run to save our lives.

I would have no objections to taking a WR as high as the 2nd if the right guy was there. I'd prefer a 3rd or 4th rounder though. I'd really like to try to stick to the trenches in the 1st and 2nd. 

Though, let's be honest... if Hurney's making the pick we might as well just draft a Huddler in the 2nd.

I agree

A couple favorite  for 3rd or 4th round. 

 

 

Jones has Punt returner ability...

Pittman big WR with speed..

 

Ruhle should know this guy well..

This is a deep class and why I wouldn't go WR early..

If the math works out, there should be second-round talent on the board in the third round....I would not take a WR on day 1, but I bet  a maximum of about 6 teams do.  That leaves 26 teams left to pick from 7 WRs that have first or second round grades in the second round.  If one in five of those teams takes a WR--a very high number--that leaves 2 WRs with second round grades slipping to the third round.  At that time, there will be 11 teams that have taken a WR in rounds 1 and 2, unlikely they take another one--besides, there will be only six picks before we pick in the third.  That means 21 teams will have not drafted a WR.  In early round three, it is unlikely that 2 WRs are taken in the first six picks, causing one to drop to us (and I think we have the sixth or fifth pick in the third round--not seventh).

This is all speculation, but for us to NOT have a good WR to drop to us, a ton of WRs will have to go in rounds 1 and 2. 

Since your comment will also be applicable to all teams, it could be that several teams decide to shop WR later---if so, we will be in great position.

It is complicated, but I see the writing on the wall.

Let's just hope that whatever thoughts Hurney has on building the team and who to draft is heard as a very very quiet whisper to Rhule and not a shouting drunken blabbering bafoon like it was for Rivera/Fox.

Draft Armanti Edwards! Draft Jimmy Clausen! Draft Brandon Hogan! Draft Dwayne Jarrett! Draft Fua/McClain! Draft Everett Brown! Draft Kony Ealy! Lmao. God please make it stop

I just hope the personal relationship does not lead to a reach.  I see him in the late third/early fourth.  That is how deep this draft is at WR

Whoa.. I can't even remember the last time we didn't have a comp pick. Thanks, as I apparently missed the announcement. I still think we may go with Mims here, although I can't see taking him over other spots more in need. Maybe if he lasts until the 4th?

 

By the way everyone, I'd take that websites rankings with a bit of salt. They have a bunch of guys rated much different than any other site I've looked at, starting with Okudah as the 4th best CB. Almost everyone else has him ranked as the #1 CB pick and to go off the boards first. So, not sure I'd get excited about where your guy is ranked on there.

To be fair, Ealy was a Gettleman pick. I agree with the sentiment though.

Hindsight 20/20 again. 

Let's all be real for once..

Everybody loved the Jarret pick when it was made.. Even more than Kalil..

Brown led the nation in sacks his Senior year out FSU and we just lost Pep.. Nobody had a problem with this pick when made. 

Clausen was seen as a steal, Hogan was hyped up as a return specialist and Kony was dam near a superbowl MVP and considered a steal when we got him. 

Edward's, fua, and McClain were bad picks..

I cannot find one site that does not have some players way too high or too low, based on my perception.  The WR list is a bit off, in my opinion, but was used for a demonstration more than a blueprint.  I chose it because it ranked WRs by giving them a score based on an analysis of performance--a rubric.  However, that does not make it better or more accurate than others.  I actually wanted to kick about 4 with second round grades out and add about 6.

I don't see any reason not to add one more in this draft. Playoffs have shown there's no such thing as too many playmakers with the way the NFL is geared toward high powered offenses now.

That is true Gmans 2nd draft. Sorry all the busted 2nd/3rd rounders just blend together nowadays lmao.

Ealy really disappoints me. That guy showed in SB50 that he could've been a STUD if he just wanted it. His teammates pretty much said the same all along. Von Miller's performance overshadowed his because they got the W, but Ealy was every bit as dominant for us.

fair enough bud. Didn't mean anything with my comment other than to let folks know it was a variance to the norm. Can definitely appreciate the rubric being used to at least back their opinion, even if I find it a bit odd on their rankings.
