I know it’s not popular, but I want Kirk with the first pick. I just feel like he’s gna be a beast. I also really like EQ, I’ve watched a lot of his games and was really impressed with him (not in the first of course, maybe one of our thirds if he’s there)

The issue on the press coverage concerns me.  Will he be able to get separation against NFL caliber CBs? 

If he can't = Bust.

I agree, it’s a chance and it sucks bc we can’t afford to mess up that pick with the needs we have. Wr is a huge need but so is S, RB and DE imo. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Of course SS loves Anthony Miller they are cut from the same cloth.  Kirk is great but i think Miller can be had later, kinda reminds me of when Santana Moss was a first round pick and we stole Steve in the 3rd

The thought of having a guy like Smith with that Chip on his shoulder really intrigues me.

Exactly.  First round busts can set a team back many years.   That player you thought was going to be around a long time ends up out of the NFL in a couple years.  

Unfortunately the Combines is not going to show if he can get separation against top caliber DBs.   

I think Safety, OT, DE and C are probably higher on the list than RB and WR.

That's what I'm thinking...Miller looks more physical than Kirk but I wont complain if we got either one but I am partial to Miller...

No Ridley and he has Kirk over him that's just crazy. 

Did you read the article?  He said he was looking at mid round guys.

You'll notice a few of the top guys (Calvin Ridley and Courtland Sutton) aren't listed below. That's because we already kind of know what we're getting with them. The guys spotlighted below are lesser-known, but I think they all have impact potential.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction

      Better than a fragile starter, though
