I think DC was wanting a X WR to play the Evans role in his offense and XL fit that role the best based on where we were drafting. Ladd would have been similar to AT or DJ (at the time). I don’t really agree with the process. Personally I’d take the best players and then build an offense for them (especially on a roster as weak as ours). I got nothing on Brooks other than DC wanting to run the ball, but there were much better ways of getting a RB2 than that…

The approach we took to build the WR room is one I will always be miffed by. I’ve never liked our draft choices and it always leaves me feeling uneasy (even back to LaFell/Gettis/Armanti). I loved Pearsall and Ladd, but those just aren’t types we target for some reason.

RB wise - Just seeing what Bucky Irving has done this year with guys Canales’ built his offense around last year, is enough to really make the RB approach seem questionable. 

If we were unsure about Chuba preseason, then we should’ve gotten a guy who could’ve played immediately. If we were confident in Chuba, then we should’ve targeted a Ray Davis, Irving, Tracy, Guerendo etc a bit later and reserve the R2 capital for a potential long term starter. 

The reasoning doesn’t entirely check out even though I love Brooks as a prospect. 

I dunno, just still feels off. Same taste I got with the Horn pick. Same with bringing back Hurney. Just a big old ick.
