Corey Lindsey is currently the most expensive center in the NFL at 12.5m per year that would equal the..... approximately the 27th most expensive WR in the league LMAO

lmao seriously, just look at contract values right now. WR has turned into one of the most important positions in the league

Probably not worth it's own thread but I called it. New England was trying to get to 32, so the Bills did us a solid. Traded to us not division rivals. New England was targeting XL

I'm not turning this into a Bryce thread, but I think Canales looked at Bryce and said what does he do best and what are his limitations. Best: throws with anticipation, accurate Limitations: deep ball, escapability We rectify that with huge guards up front to prevent interior pressure and help the run game, bolster the run game, trade for the best separation WR in the NFL (by stats) and draft a Deebo like WR w/ the body type and potential to become a true X/outside ball winner. Like I said the vision is there folks.

Agree a longterm WR corps (assuming all pan out of) X- XL, Z- Dionte, Slot- Mingo; actually meshes very well together the vision is there, whether or not it comes to fruition is a question every team has to ask themselves

Seems pretty clear what they are trying to build to me, a power running game that supports a quick passing game. We signed two huge guards, Canales is known for emphasizing quick throw time, we traded for Dionte Johnson, drafted the best RB in the draft, first pick was a bigger Deebo Samuel and we drafted a receiving TE Power run, play action, quick throws, try to limit third and long.

That being said we were fighting an uphill battle, it's really hard to get a good draft grade without a first round pick much less the first overall pick.

said this before but its a C+/B- for me the trade back with the rams was an A+ Player selection outside of XL, were all pretty "safe" choices. That's not necessarily a bad thing. This team needs players and contributors. If most of them end up having 'fine' NFL careers that will be an absolute win for us. But outside of XL and Wallace I don't see many home run swings, again that's ok. We also get dinged a little in my book for positional value. Felt like we could have gone double dip at WR, CB or Edge in the first four rounds to bump the grade up again. Again I'm not hating on the draft, I just think it was very middle of the road, which may be exactly what we needed.

I hope tepper is reading this thread: You are pathetic, quit ruining our team.

could have also taken Jaylan ford at LB!

again, I agree but it is concerning he did not test like he plays, something is off, yall are acting like there is zero reason he fell this far lol

that's not true at all for me

again I pray I am wrong, some guys are football players and the game isn't played in underwear. No surprise Dan feels like that lmao

I'll be on record saying I think Theo Johnson is the higher upside pick but I see the vision of taking him as a safer tight end choice after swinging for the fences with wallace

that being said in the fourth round he is worth the gamble so I'm fine with the pick

I pray I am wrong on him. He did have good college production but his RAS scares me for a guy who is billed as an athletic TE

another fair argument

I definitely can see this

He reminds me of Miles Jack. He will play for a few years but he does not have a long career ahead of him. It's a shame because he's a damn good player

I'd argue that edge, CB, TE and NT are more immediate needs but I do understand the argument, we do not have any depth behind Shaq and Josey outlaw

The one thing I will give them credit for is they are drafting what I'm assuming is BPA on their board. LB is not an immediate need. Last few years we've only drafted for immediate needs and look where that has landed us

Give me Javon Baker, Van Pran, or Brandon Dorlus in round four Mo Kamara in round 5 Wiley in round 6

My preference order: 1- Newton 2- Cooper DeJean 3- JPJ 4- Ladd (yes double dip at WR) 5- Kneeland 6- Frazier

at best this is the extremely odd behavior at worst this is an invasion of someone's privacy and signifies he thinks he is above the guy right there, like the guy needs to take his hat off when talking to him. abuse of power dynamic. how people are defending this after he threw a drink on someone is beyond me. truly hate tepper

I think it's worth noting that we had by far the worst WR room in the league last year, and one of the worst offensive lines. FA talent was slim pickings this year. We didn't have our first round pick. There aren't a ton of avenues to improve. Trading for Dionte was an absolute miracle trade by Morgan. Getting XL at the end of round 1 is basically all you could ask for. I'd still be ok if they draft another WR as well. Ladd at 39 or Javon Baker later in the draft I'd be fine with
