Oh yeah. Keeping his legs fresh at his age is huge. Plus Mingo can slide to outside for depth or to relieve other WRs it’s just not his bread and butter IMO. He has the size for it though. I hope that Mingo can turn into a Godwin type primary slot WR.

of course they would pick us over their division rivals, but the Pats wanted one of the two that went 32 and 33.

100%. I remember Reich calling the screen to AT when he was on the bench and had to use a time out lol.

AT is old. He will need breathers.

He should become a starter by season end as he is the only TE that can catch. Brooks should eventually beat out Chuba and XL should start pretty soon. That’s 3 pretty high percentage starters from this draft. If Wallace can successfully replace Shaq next year it would be a very successful draft. Considering we had no first and walked away with a pick in each round plus a future 2nd that’s a solid job so far.

Some more food for thought. Did Fitt ever come out of a draft with a high future pick like Dan just did with his 2nd in 25? That paired with drafted players like XL, Wallace, and Brooks (with his energy) might take a moment to peak but offer higher ceilings makes me think Dan knows this is a process that takes several years to address. There is no quick fix like Fitt tried with trading away picks to try to win now vs later. These things make it appear Dan has told Tepper they are going to do things the right way like he did in Buffalo and it will take a few years to see the returns fully. It worked out well for Dan and Beane in Buffalo.

Mingo is a big slot and XL is a X WR. Not really the same style player. Athletically they have similar measurements but they play the game pretty differently. I think XL and DJ complement each other well and should be our outside WRs. Mingo will rotate with AT in the slot and hopefully take over full time next year. OG to C doesn’t seem to be as crazy of a move as people think. We have Corbett, BC, and then Mays there. Not the best but the first 2 are solid OGs when healthy and pretty smart players. I would have liked to draft one but we couldn’t fix everything on one offseason. CB and Edge could have used some real depth, but I think we sign Gilly now to fix one of those temporarily. Oh a bright note, both XL and Sanders had some of the best catch ratings in 10 plus yards down the field.

Bills probably liked but didn’t love several players. We loved XL. So we moved up at a minimal loss and got the guy we wanted at a contract we wanted. Bills probably saved some cap this year with 33 and got one of the guys they liked plus a little better ammo in the late rounds to use if needed. They are in win now though. Contracts 4-5 years for them don’t mean as much as they do to a team rebuilding like us.

Yeah if only we kept that 5th instead of 6th we would be a freaking playoff team….

And gave us a 6th back… Damn how will we ever recover??

So are the scouts or Tepper making these decisions? I’m trying to keep track over here..

Yeah he was last at FSU. The transfer portal helps widen that net now. You will have players from several different schools.

Who did we draft in 23? You counting Jammie?

But they didn’t take the players I wanted?!???!?

That Lawrence draft was suppose to be great. He is the only QB from the 1st still with his team before the rookie contracts are even over. I definitely wouldn’t want Bo Nix, Penix has injury flags and is old, Daniels didn’t look great into year 5, JJ wasn’t asked to do much in that offense. These guys are far from being flawless prospects. Let’s see how they turn out.

With a mustache like that, you know he can…

What’s missing? A RB and a TE. Little does he know what we were going to do next…

Mays has played center before. I’d prefer we have a better backup but they seem ok with him.

I feel like the Skins have 100 picks

He is so dumb that it’s genius.

All of our players so far are bringing a physical aspect to their game. I remember Morgan saying he wanted teams to be afraid to play here. A physical WR, physical RB, hard hitting LB, and big physical TE is a good start to help change this culture.

If we took AD instead of XL it would be a very Texas draft

Diontae Johnson not DJ Moore.

So many Huddle doctors on here apparently. Every injury is different with different rehab and turn around time. Hell Rodgers blew his achilles and could have played in the post season if needed.
