According to McShay, We Should Move Up for WR

I'm saying how would you feel about moving up 7-8 slots. Giving up a couple mid-late round picks isn't going to jeopardize our future if we get our guy and he turns out as expected. Just trying to weigh all options and get some discussion going.

 

Somebody is going to fall. If we had traded our fifth rounder last year to move ahead of the Jets to get Star (everyone thought they might take him) we would not have Klein, a guy I think starts at OLB this year.

 

I see the logic, but WRs are already very risky picks.  To move up for one is bold.

I like this idea, but as other poster's have said, it just doesn't seem like Gettleman's style.

 

This time of the year may be all smoke and mirrors, but I really haven't seen teams lie about drafting philosophy. Teams who draft according to need lie about which positions they are targeting, BPA teams don't really comment on whom they'll draft because it's so hard to predict which prospect falls in the first place.

 

PS. Who really cares what Todd McShay thinks?

To my understanding Gman waits till we're on the clock and then picks who's left at the top of our board hence why all the picks on our end were so freaking fast last year.  He doesn't overthink.  

 

 

I think it all depends on what the trade cost us.  It's not mortgaging the future like it was before the rookie pay scale.

 

 

and yep..if a trade happened we could still retain the same amount of picks.  basically swap firsts and our 5th with someone's 7th to move up a few spots.

I saw on one of the shows that the year Fitzgerald was picked, there 8(?) WR picked in rd 1.

I think he's the only one still in the league. I'm sure that was "deep" WR class as well. Too risky to move up.

Now if we moved back and had two options at WR, our chances would be better. There's not much consensus on who's best after top 2.

One of these will be there when we pick.  The three with strikethroughs will be gone, but all of the remaining WRs will be starters.  No way all of the above plus Moses, Bintonio, Kouandjio, and Martin are gone at 28.

      So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
