He would have been the 6th best wr last year, maybe 5th and we just took him at 8 overall.   We are in a bizarro world

Says who? You? He would have gone 3rd after Nabers who went 6. Nobody had BTJ as an all pro guy pre draft

Biggest reasons I didn't like the pick

1. this draft is super deep at WR. 

2. Lost of people including myself had him as the 3rd WR behind Golden and Hunter. No value in the top ten taking Tet. 

3. This draft isn't very deep on 3-4 front seven players and could've gotten a high end prospect for a 3-4 front at 8. 

To be fair a lot of others had him as the clear cut #1 WR and top 10 overall player.

Steelers just paid big for DK to pair with Pickens.  You need talent in the WR room.  XL is a more natural Z receiver with some crazy speed for his size.  Tet is a legit X who you play like Evans or Higgins.  You can put XL in that role but he is better served as a Z IMO.  Coker is the slot that replaces AT and relieves him throughout the year.  Both XL and Tet were solid YAC receivers as well in college.  

Yep people are not factoring this in either. Not only do we add a stud WR1 who catches literally everything, but we also put our other hopeful stud WR in a much better position for this year. I was as hard on XL as anyone this year but I do think with a year under his belt + TMac on the field with him, he is going to look good this season.

The fact him and Bryce have been together,  makes me really at ease with this pick. Already formed a connection. Our offense didn't get worse by adding him  at all.  Still a ton of edge rushers left, we are in a good spot. Also, I hope we can get the Notre Dame qb for a project. He has all the tools to be the best qb in this draft.

With how pinpoint Bryce can be on anticipation throws and TMac being an absolute nightmare on a back shoulder. YIKES. If those 2 can get the timing down it’s gonna be unstoppable.

Anyone saying an Edge wouldn't change the defense is crazy. Micah Parsons wouldn't change this defense? 

micah parsons wasnt sitting there at 8 waiting to get drafted...?

He’s nothing like Legette as a prospect. Legette was very raw. Had 12 total TDs in 5 college seasons and had 1500 yards for his whole 5 year college career.  Tet has nearly averaged that as a Sophomore and Junior. Hes not as athletic but much bigger and much more natural as a receiver.

this place is hilarious. up in arms over how we always draft RAS score warriors who are freak athletes but not top talent football players. So what do we do and finally draft the best true WR with absolute glue hands and elite route running and people are upset about it because he doesn't run at 4.35 and is 6'5

No edge would turn this team around this year. I think it’d better to stay put and draft whoever you get. 

we obviously didnt love walker at 8 and like others have said, this draft is quite deep on defense. no real top end talent after Carter and tons of quality guys will be there for our 2nd. i think we go edge or LB next 

Man I am so freaking excited man. We just got our Mike Evans. This year is going to be so much fun offensively.

Oh, you talking about the dude we picked up off the street, versus the #1 rated TE in the draft.  Cool story bro.

yall take yourselves way too seriously lmao

Don’t get the hate. He was WR1 on most boards. And we need a lot of help in that position. 

listen here buddy, we dont do logic around here

6'6" that can multiple positions and block was right there too.

6'9 guy at my YMCA was right there for the taking too. smh 

Our offense is gonna be nasty this year guys. D the rest of the draft now. 

Thank you Dan. Didn't overthink it

This pick is huge for us. If Jeanty doesn't go here I think people start calling us.

This pick is huge for us. If Jeanty doesn't go here I think people start calling us. 

oh my god jags what are you doing. what a haul

This sounds crazy but I'm starting to think we might be targeting Nolan and one of the safeties and think we can snag both by moving back

I’d prefer not to trade with the Steelers even for next year 1st. They are a perennial playoff team no matter what so you’re looking at a lower pick. Indy or Dallas is my dream even if you only get an extra 2nd back.

I don't think it is insane. Micah P 12, TJ Watt 7, Will Anderson 7, Nick Bosa 9.

So, 7-10 is my hope vs some folks who think that and Edge player needs 12+ sacks right out of the gate to be successful.  That is what I think is insane, but I understand your point on 7-10 might still be high. 

Yeah I mean that as a good thing, as in if we drafted him at 8 and he was as advertised in the run + got 7-10 sacks we stole him there.

I am firmly, 100%, on the Mykel bandwagon. 

Lock down the run game. Develop the pass rush moves, which are not as bad as people say here.

He doesn't need 15+ sacks out of the gate to be successful. 7-10 with strong run game impact would be a great year one in my opinion. 

7-10 sacks from him would be insane. That’s nick bosa/will Anderson. If we drafted him I’d be pleasantly surprised with 4-5 and locking up the run. 

I’m not sold on Mykell but if he is the pick I wonder if we could get Dallas or Indy to trade up with us
