Opinion: with Short signed, WR time in this draft

If the staff thought WR was a concern, I feel like they would have sniggered around Corey Davis or Mike Williams more, especially since they will be there at #8 by all accounts.

I'm not thrilled with the guys we have brought in for visits/workouts. I think they are targeting WRs in with one of their 2nd round picks. Based on who we brought in that basically means Chris Godwin, Zay Jones, and Carlos Henderson. Everyone else is basically projected in the late round or UDFA.

 

 

I know. Sadly it looks like the coaches are putting all their money on Funchess and KB to be a good #1 and 2. Good luck with that.

I will say that Godwin could turn out to be just as good as any receiver in this draft. He really could emerge as the best in the class. Henderson may be sneaky good as well.

Godwin is growing on me. It's a flip of a coin right now between him and Henderson for me in the 2nd. 

I'm with you guys. Those are my 2 favorite receivers in the draft. Get either one and I'm a happy man.

If fournette isn't there john ross either at 8 or trade back

if fournette is there Chris Godwin via trade up in the 3rd round or maybe even at 64

If Fournette isn't there we shoudl get OJ Howard who is capable WR but also improves the running game. 

40: 4.5

 

WR: Ardarius Stewart 5'-11" 204 lbs

Alabama's passing offense ranked 87th in the country in 2016 with only 210.3 yards per contest, but that's no reflection on Stewart's talent. He did what he could to help a freshman quarterback in Jalen Hurts, catching 54 passes for 864 yards and eight scores and rushing for 68 yards on eight carries. He was a first-team All-SEC pick despite missing three games, two to a leg injury and a third via suspension for "violating behavior rules" per head coach Nick Saban. Stewart also had an important pass play in the national championship game to keep the Tide alive in the fourth quarter. He started every game in the team's title run the previous year, making 63 grabs for 700 yards and four scores. As a redshirt freshman in 2014, Stewart was a two-game starter (12-149 receiving). After being graded as a potential second-round pick by the NFL Draft Advisory Committee, Stewart decided to declare for the draft to take care of his two children and the rest of his family.

Adding a tentative TE to the offense wouldn't evolve anything. Howard is overrated as hell. No thanks. If Fournette, Thomas, Adams, Hooker and Allen are gone, then we should trade back.

 

Well, he is not who I'd pick @ 8 but I could live with it. Overrated?He isn't perfect but he is as complete of a TE that has came out in a while. I also see the upside. As far as tentative... I wouldn't Jimmy Graham him quite yet. 

If we could come out of this draft with one of the top two LSU prospects ...I'm happy.

Defensive end is arguably our biggest need. The position is also the highest positional value besides QB. 

So defensive end is definitely still in play, and nobody should be shocked should we draft one @ 8. 

I'd be less surprised with a DE, over any other position.

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
