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.

      Okay then, tell me what your expectations are for Thielen, XL, and Coker this year If someone wants to come out there and say they think Thielen is only getting 600-700 yards this year, then yea, I'm going to then expect T-Mac to get to 1,000. If someone wants to say they think XL or Coker is going to fall back to 300 yards this year, then yea, I'm going to expect T-Mac to get to 1,000. People seem to think I'm making excuses for why T-Mac can't get there, but it's the literal opposite, my expectations for him stem from my belief our other WRs for the first time in who knows how long.   We finally have a legitimate and full WR room, not sure that's happened since the Smitty and Moose days.  It's going to make them all better players, but it will also suppress all of their stats as they're all going to cannibalize each other a little bit.

      It’s certainly not my shining moment. But I still made it. Running the Sacramento marathon in December and hope to have a more Jake Delhomme-level of stardom there. The Everyman that overcomes obstacles to almost reach the pinnacle of success only to have it taken away by Adam Vinateri.
