Last week they had Ridley falling to us.  This week we take a SS type of player.  Thoughts

Players I found of interest taken after us.

Mark Anderson TE Oklahoma (slotted for Jacksonville)

Denzel Ward CB Ohio State (Slotted for Philly)

Chukwama Okorafor OT Western Mich (Slotted for Minnesota)

I think any of these could be as good as a WR.   Anderson is a big guy and could really bring the two TE set that was so effective with Chudzinski.

What's kinda interesting IMO, is that we essentially are ending up with 2 rookie classes because of how much young talent got IR'd last year.  We had 7 picks, 3 of them got IR'd and 1 is a pro bowler on another team (I'm not salty about that at all....).  Corn Elder, Curtis Samuel, and Daeshon Hall all essentially got redshirted, so it's gonna be up to them how they advance in the offseason, but basically next year they come in as rookies as well.  Also, still got Armah and Moton who neither got any significant playing time.

This is the first mock I've seen with Miller in the 1st round. Most have him in 2/3. 

 

That being said, I'd be okay with it. He has everything - route running, hands, aggressively fights for the ball, fast (albeit not as fast as steve smith), and ridiculous production. I think there's a solid chance he'll be the best WR in this draft in 2-3 years. The comparisons I've seen thrown around are Steve Smith/Antonio Brown. Not to say he'll actually be that good, but that's the mold he fits most.

 

Anthony Miller and Deshon Elliot in the first and second would make me very happy.

Miller is pretty dang good...dont want to dare make a comparison on who he looks like...

Those that compare him to Steve Smith don't do the kid any justice. You're talking about a potential HOFer.  S. Smith was not only a great receiver he was one helleva athlete.  For his size he had the most amazing vertical leap I have ever seen and was strong as an ox.

We could go on and on about how strong he was.

That said, if they think he plays like SS.  I certainly wouldn't bypass him just because of his size.

Maybe Derwin James will have a bad combine and fall to us.  Best player overall in the draft, IMO.

Well really top notch players ramcyk and Ruben foster fell all the way down to the end of r1 last year. And I remember also Jonathan Allen and Malik hooker were projected to go top 5 in early projected but fell to mid round due to injury concerns 

I like Miller too he's probably my favorite WR in the draft . Has speed but maybe most importantly serious toughness and makes contested catches . Steve Smith comparison is a bit far fetched .

It's kinda interesting that they have us selecting Miller over Kirk and only 3 WR taken in round 1.  They're pretty similar players with good college WR production , Kirk seems to be faster but Miller possibly stronger or better at contested catches . I'd be happy with either of them honestly

Would not be surprised if we got a WR in r1 and went defense the rest of the way . Maybe Olsens injury will scare them enough to get a TE or if they are stew we could get a RB too .

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
