Pending a WR signing (or two), I think it's fair to say we've set ourselves up to get, not BPA, but the BOSPA, come April. Although I'll admit this EDGE class is tantalizing. (Cue the new term) So then, let's take a gander... Consensus-ish Big Board (My estimated rankings based on The Athletic, Ringer, and a few other spots) green means trending up. 10. Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR ^ 12. Quentin Johnston WR 14. Michael Mayer TE 17. Jordan Addison WR 23. Jahmyr Gibbs RB ^ 25. Dalton Kincaid TE ^ 26. Zay Flowers WR ^ 30. Darnell Washington TE ^ 33. Jalin Hyatt WR 40. Josh Downs WR 48. Luke Musgrave TE 52. Sam LaPorta TE ^ 58. Zach Charbonnet Takeaways: No doubt team boards will vary, but I see a pretty damn substantial cliff after LaPorta. Rashee Rice & Tillman are good but a major tier down. Same goes with the TE and RB groups in my opinion. Guys like Tyler Scott, Kraft, Achane, Spears, Schoonmaker could be great, but simply aren't in that higher tier. I know we already gave a lot away, I'm trying to stay realistic. However, if we want to land a top weapon in this class, I think it could be in our benefit to move up a tad. I'm not saying jump to 20 for a boatload, but if receivers are getting selected in the 20s, which I can see happening easy, then I say let's get aggressive again. So my question RE: Rankings, -- Is it worth holding on, or would it be in our favor to use something like a 4th (this year or future), or maybe a 4th+6th type combo to slide up a bit in our favor? I think 3rds are too high with capital given away for our shiny QB1, but it we want an effective weapon, do you want to swing high, or take a group of guys a bit lower tier in this draft? After 39, 93 is our next selection. That's 1.5 rounds right there. For me, it is starting to look quite appealing to grab a top guy somehow given who we've brought in. A really solid foundation sans WR seems to have melded together. Creating a young trio like Stroud, Sanders, & Flowers could have so much freaking potential. Thoughts?
