If Ebron was there at #28, you almost have to take him.  Little doubt that he'd be the BPA at that point.  He'd also give us a legit red zone target which is an element that we sorely lack in our offense.  I love Olsen, but despite his size, he's not a great red zone target.

If not for the Dickson pickup, I would really like this pick.  I'm not saying that Dickson will provide the same level of play that Ebron could, but you damn well better believe that Dickson will be giving 100% out there because his career is on the line.  Ebron, on the other hand, has a reputation for not trying when it comes to blocking.  And that bothers me.

 

I'd still be happy with this pick, because Ebron is more talented than a #28 overall should be, but I'm not sure it makes as much sense anymore now that we already acquired another pass-catching TE.

Turn him into a #1 WR.

 

Your #1 receiver doesn't necessarily have to play WR.  Jimmy Graham is without a doubt the Saints' #1 receiver.  Same with Gronk in NE when he's healthy.  In his prime, Gates was in SD and so was Gonzalez in KC.  There was probably also a time when you could've argued that Shannon Sharpe was the #1 target in Denver.

 

If Ebron is on the board with a bunch of guys who are likely #2 WRs, give me Ebron.  He has the talent to be an elite NFL TE.  I'll take an elite TE prospect over a decent starting WR prospect all day everyday.

I love what it says as well, "Someone has to fall, you know?"  Exactamundo, and the Gettfather will be sitting dead red on them.  Ebron would be similar to Cordarelle Patterson-who I mentioned yesterday-also mocked in the top 20 and even top 10 for much of the mock season, then falls to 29.  Would jump all over Ebron and would be a fool not to.  "Someone has to fall, you know?"

Dickson signed a 1 year, veteran minimum contract.  No one on a 1 year, veteran minimum contract is going to have one bit of impact on a team's 1st round draft pick.  You draft a guy in the 1st round for the next decade.

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Honestly, it only makes sense if you're trying to chase being the best bad team you can be this year. The number one question we need answered this season is whether or not Bryce is our long-term franchise QB. Trading away a second year WR who was second on the team in catch percentage, first in yards per target, and who clearly outplayed your 1st round pick for a likely one year rental fill in LB is exactly the type of short sighted desperation moves that has made us the worst franchise in the league under Tepper. We gotta stop making these types of moves and just focus on building a good organization and a good roster. Lloyd is a JAG LB another bad team and awful defense is wavering on and a couple of Panthers fans are salivating over him. Oof. We just need to be patient and wait. Definitely make some calls around the league to teams deep at LB and see if there's an opportunity to add one for a late round pick. Definitely shop the waiver wire hard. The reality is that LB is almost certainly going to be a weakness for us this year. We weren't fixing our entire roster in one off-season and we're not fixing an overall weak positional group in late July.  If you trade for Lloyd LB is still a weakness and you've given up a young promising WR who could potentially help you answer the question of whether or not Bryce is that guy. That's bad football business.

      Bucs get bad news

      I think it's because we've had a player to hate on NO (Breese) and Atl (Ryan) while Tampa had Winston who was never really a threat or dislikable like the other 2

      yeah. it was also reported that Brown was taking it light today because of oblique soreness. Sounds like the 2 of them were a bit too rough with each other for practice.
