His injury history is real. The red flags are there, and we'd be wise to heed them.

Taywan Taylor in a later round just may be the better value. Better yet, possibly, just acquire Kenny Stills in free agency. 

No disrespect to Ross, but his past injuries are a ticking time bomb.

Second round for sure. Not in the first. 

 

 

Edit: Do not want. He's injury prone. 

Torn meniscus in 2014

microfracture surgery in 2014

Torn meniscus and ACL in 2015

Post combine surgery is scheduled this year to fix a torn labrum.  

 

 

Hell no, no thanks. He's high risk with all that. I'd take him in the late rounds. Not in the first 4 though.

Trading up into the first is way different from trading up in later rounds. IF he trades back into the first with our high 2nd and 3rd rounder I'm guessing , I would probably guess he picked a defensive player with pick 8 and want to get one of the premier offense players left like McCaffrey , Fournette (if he falls) , Howard, Corey Davis , John Ross, or one of the tackles (Ramcyzk , Robinson) .

Maybe...

I like the opposite scenario.

I have seen mocks with Barnett falling.

Would have to towel off if we could get Fournette at 1.8 and then land Barnett in the late 1st.

I like the idea of trading with, still, another scenario. We take Fournette at 8 and then grab whichever safety drops to the end of the first... that is unless we think one of the top 4 safeties will be there with our second pick.

All of this WR talk is well and good... but we need to take care of the real issue first...

Cam's reliance on a certianly 6 foot 5 wide out who can't get seperation.

The oline does not make a WR get any more or less seperation.

It's addition by subtraction with him.

I'd like to see trade value.

I'm not a fan of trading our top receiver (not counting Olsen, who is god-like). I would like to see him get better, but I think he can, especially if we start using him better. 90% of his routes should be run 7-10 yards, turn to box out the minuscule person trying to guard him, and let Cam tattoo him in the chest with the ball. Any YAC is just icing on the cake. If the "endzone is his playground", pretend every pass to him is in the redzone. Nothing fancy, just quick, short passes that keep moving the flags.

Edit: Keeping defenders out of Cam's face will help this, and should be our top priority. (broken record)

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
