Not the biggest need (but still a pretty big one) and not a top value position like a QB but without-a-doubt the best player on the board. The guy is an absolute beast, best DB prospect to come around in a VERY long time, lives and breathes football and elevates the play of everyone around him. Not to mention he's made himself into a top return man as well. Here watch this and get all hyped and sh*t.

i wouldn't complain. but what about the offense? they have to make an effort.

Honestly, no matter who you take the offense is still going to be bad. Worst team in the league and it's not going to turnaround overnight. I'd rather start building by adding the best guys we can get rather than being desperate and reaching for guys that aren't really that good.

And AJ Green is one of the best guys we can get and he is also an offensive weapon that we will be in desperate need of a year from today when Smith will no longer be thought of as Elite.

Why is this so hard? It's Green. It's easy.

The only reason I would take a defensive pick is if I thought it could bring me a trade worth more to us than AJ Green, say like a DAMN GOOD QB!

FWIW this is the guy that shut down AJ Green, though I wouldn't hate taking Green either. Offense, probably best you can do is get a new offensive system and coaches in there. Fix the OLine, add a WR pickup or two through FA, trade up into the 2nd and take Kyle Rudolph, add a vet QB like Hasselbeck, ect, ect. Still plenty of moves there to be made.

Am I the only one that sees the importance of finding Smith's replacement now before we realize how bad we need him?

You cannot get that kind of WR though FA, young and with his whole career ahead of him, without giving up huge money or something very valuable for him like another high draft pick. What would be the point?

Capable receivers, and excellent receivers with a potential to become your main offensive weapon are two different beasts.

You can win championships with an elite receiver and a capable QB and even make it to the Superbowl. We have done that with Jake, Smith and Moose.

You cannot do that with "capable" receivers and average QBs.

We have a ton of needs. #1 receiver to replace Smitty, RG, LT to replace Gross (who is more of a RT anyway), TE, QB, DT X 2, CB, another DE in the rotation would help, good safety to move Godfrey to depth, PK to replace Kasay. F**k our team is a mess.

      They played some good teams but they also played a lot of pee wee college defenses too.  Warren won't be that open in the NFL.  Although credit where it's due, he did make some contested catches against good coverage.

      If I’m putting myself in a team’s shoes - you’re looking at these prospects and Warren hits most boxes for a TE with a plus on most. So yeah, he’s a great prospect, no doubt, 1st round talent as a TE. But when I look at him through the lens of that PSU offense, they were running so much through him, I’m not so sure it was beneficial to seeing how he translates.  They were getting him open in the flat, running weird trick plays, and designed a lot of ways to find him on delayed seam routes and such. So a lot was structured around getting him the ball in creative ways to advance the ball, in steady sequences, methodically down the field.  Thing is, yeah he’s catching a ton, is big, and can block, but throw him into an NFL offense in a more traditional sense, he’s gonna be stickied by speedy LBs and big nickels. I just wonder how he is in a more isolated fashion— when he’s just a piece of a greater NFL offense getting shadowed by more talented defenders. I think it could still be great but I have question marks when it’s at the TE position. Will he look no different than other very solid TEs or is he this offensive centerpiece at the position that doesn’t come along often (Bowers, Gronk, Kelce, Witten, TG, etc)? I think he brings a ton and could be one of the safer TE prospects, but what I’m unsure about is if you’re really getting this new age Witten type people are crowning him as. Even if that’s the case, is that worth it? If he wasn’t in PSU’s Franklin/Allar offense, would you be seeing the same output?  More questions than anything - I could get on board with it, but it’s hard for me to really project because of how that offense was (which was so frustrating at times).

      Twitter sources, but supposedly the Rams want him. He might actually go Round 1.
