WR may be a position that doesn't change much. Between KB, Funchess, Brown and Ginn the position is looking full, plus the team seemed to be high on Norwood in practice and off the field.

 

I could see a WR taken in a later round of the draft if the value is there.

Gettleman should have proven to everyone by now that he is going to take the best value (or, "BPA", if you prefer) regardless of the round. He has explicitly said this man times now. The position does not matter. He will not pass up the highest graded player on his board in any particular round if they are there, including receiver.

He traded up to get Funchess and said after that he was worried that there weren't any other good WRs left. If that isn't drafting for need then I don't know what is. He reinforced that this week by saying that the reason he did so was because he was worried what would happen if Kelvin got injured. Specifically targeting a position then trading up to get one is the definition of drafting for need.

The key thing that he said is that Funchess had a first round grade, and that's pretty much the end of the story.

He also has made comments to the effect that luckily his drafts have met the needs.

Every 2nd round pick ever drafted had a "1st round grade" according to the GMs that drafted them.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
