All jokes aside. Im really starting to think all the top WRs are gone by 25.

During a NFL season, the term "getting hot at the right time" Is thrown around a lot, a few years back when the Giants made their unexpected SB run with a 9-7 record, you heard it abunch of times, "The Giants just got hot at the right time." Thats exactly how I feel about this WR class.

The hype about these current crop of WRs has been sky rocketing faster these last few weeks, faster than the nasdaq in the late 90s. WRs like Nelson Agolohor and Breshad Perriman, once considered by many as 2nd round picks are now suddenly being projected as top 15, hell some even saying top 12-13 picks of this draft.

There is no denying that after last year's very strong crop of WRs in the 1st round, GMs and coaches wont want to miss out again on the next great WR.

Amari Cooper, Kevin White, Nelson Agolohor, Breshad Perriman, Jaelen Strong, Devante Parker. The closer draft day comes the easier it is to see every single one of these WRs gone in the top 20. The unfortunate thing for us is typically you could say "Oh yah! That means such and such star player will fall to us." But this year I just dont see that "falling star" type of player. Im afraid once all the top flight WRs are gone, Gettleman will hold his nose and turn in his selection and settle for a average player and hope for the best.

I know we joke a lot on here how 64 players will be gone by the time we pick at 25, while that is a funny joke, unfortunatley we may have to accept the reality that all the good WRs will be gone by 25.

If all of the WRs are gone by 25, so will ALL of the OTs and DEs. Prospects are rising because there are "only" 15-20 of them with first round grades, supposedly. If you're drafting after 20, the players that you are drafting probably have a second round grade on them. Unless, you get lucky and one of the top 15-20 fall to you. Can't count on being lucky ALL OF THE TIME.

You obviously don't have a brain well suited for being a GM/draft manager. It is not possible for all 6 of those WR to be gone by the first 24 picks much less the first 20. There are too many talented players out there at other positions that those team could not possibly pass on to take a wr not in the top 4.

 

Oh and ...... Stop making such asinine threads!

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
