I think you go McMillan or Graham. 

McMillan is a giant receiver and it's been a long time since we had such a big target. Graham is a monster and I couldn't imagine him and Brown on the line together.

Kind of sad we can't get both. I think its hard to find a guy that can play 3, 4 and 5 tech, but at the same time its not easy finding a top WR talent, especially for us. Some teams are money drafting WR in round 2... we are not. Should we just say F it and take the top WR looking at us, or do we build this thang in the trenches? Tough decision but hopefully we look back two years from the draft and say they made the right one.

I'm on the D train.  Give me Carter in round 1 and round 2.  Team game.  D often makes the O good or bad.  We went O heavy last year. 

I wouldn't be shocked if 6'5 4.5 speed TMac comes into the NFL struggles separating.  We got of enough of that.

This is not a popular take so flame away: the recent developments re Jonathan Brooks has yet again thrown the RB room in a state of flux, and that’s not good for a team that relies heavily on the running game. With a potential for another lost season in rehab if not longer, a blue chip prospect like Ashton Jeanty cannot and should not be off the table especially if he’s BPA. This guy is gonna be a beast with loads of potential. Bank on it.

The Lions have the best record in the NFC.  But you can probably insert the Chiefs, Rams, Patriots etc..  Chiefs had Tyreek Hill (fifth round pick) and the Rams had Kupp (3rd round pick), so neither of them spent high draft picks to get elite WR's.  The chiefs spent a first to get worthy, but he is certainly not elite as yet.  

St Brown was a 4th round pick.  So I am not sure he is a good argument to spend a top 10 pick on a wr.  

 

This doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t matter how you get the elite WR, you need one. We have proven time over time we can’t draft WR since DJ. So grab the best one in the draft and take your shot.

Neither FA market looks good either. I really hate a good CB like Will Johnson to get skipped over as well. Ultimately our weakest point is DL so I lean towards Graham.

I understand it is easier than saying his actual name, but my mind instantly goes to Tracy McGrady every time I read "TMac" on here.

LOL, you should be inside my head

McGrady was my favorite player for years, have a bunch of his shoes, jersey, all of it.

I'm also an Arizona alum who has seen every snap of McMillan's career....................

And I still screw up saying his first name after 3 years of watching him, and I also still can't not hear McGrady in my own head when I say T-Mac.

But it's a problem I'd LOVE to deal with for the next 10+ years as well, hahahaha.

And the Patriots got Tom Brady at pick 199, why can't we just do the same thing?!?!?!

You realize how asinine it is by pointing out the mid round players who ended up as Top 5 players at their position is, right?

If every team could turn all their mid round picks into superstars, this would be an entirely different league and nobody would care who they take in the first round, because you're leaving every draft with a handful of new future stars.

I'm starting to think we will pick in the 8-12 range with the way the defense is playing. However, I'd love to get Hunter or McMillian. This team is dying for a big play weapon. I don't think you realize how having a Chase/Lamb type WR would open up things for Chuba and the running game.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      I'm with you.  Even an extra 3rd would help.  None of the players you listed are elite though.  Sadly there are very few of those in this draft, but there are a lot of good players in the late first and into the second. We need to realize that we can't get all our needs in this year's draft.  We know we need some sort of edge, a safety, and I feel we need to use one of first 4 picks on a CB, preferably 3rd at latest.  And I want to draft an OT in 3rd to learn behind Moton this year. The extra 2nd would be huge.  2 things Bear Hands has noted in other threads, we can get a rusher in the mid rounds of the first, and if a good LT is available at our pick we should be able to get a deal. I'm ok.  If the media takes are close, trading back to around 15 should get us a second, and since our second is near the end of that round, getting one earlier opens up a whole lot of opportunities.  Either way, Canales builds his infrastructure with this draft.  Next year, with all our picks and probably picking somewhere between 10 and 15, we can get real stars.   All of this depends on hitting on picks this year.

      Isaiah Simmons is still a free agent 6'4 240

      You got the gist of his main issue. He plays LB or whatever on D, but hates to tackle and contact. That's the summary.  I normally have a wide margin of " Hey vet min/bring him for try out/maybe he changed/etc etc". But he can not be trusted, * but he did just have his "best" season. He's like those RB that refuse to run between the tackles, bounce everything outside...they too are scared of contact. That's like the whole point of NFL, he's able to trick and athlete his way for 5 years, props to him and his agent.  Me personally I view him like virus, I wouldn't want him on film shying away from hitting while the rookies&UDFA are looking for how the Panthers do things. Plus Im the biggest sucker there is about giving former 1st, 2nd, etc another chances. Just not someone who doesn't want to play NFL and fools those with his god given gifts.  ____________________________________________________________   \ Not to add another layer to this, but I feel contact and hitting its the biggest problem for the NFL. I sorta agree with TEs, WRs, and RBs either going out of bounds or falling to the ground to avoid a solid hit(this goes out the window for 1st downs, SB, etc.) Like if a WR caught a deep slant and already gained 17 yards, but here comes a safety with a great angle, Im all for that WR to fall on the ground...... ugh...... But I think the opposite for my defense. I feel this topic is central sun hot and NFL has done a great job in avoiding it. Im surprised NFL is still allowed, I have huge doubts in the future.

      not sure if carolina picks a WR in this draft, they have some young WR already and will let them develop. Need another vet imo.  I think carolina is going to pass more to the RB's this coming season, look for them to move heaven and earth for Cam Skatteboo.  I really hope they go TE Warren in the 1st. That would add another dynamic to this offense.
