Which WR will we draft in the 1st round?

[Manther]

I'd like to see us start plugging in the holes in secondary.  Maybe one of the slots with a FA.

[ecu88]

Trade back for an extra 2nd rd and 4th rd with Gmen.

2 rd Ronnie Harrison S

2 rd Nick Chubb RB

3 rd Hayden Hurst TE

3 rd Jesse Bates III S

4 rd Siran Neal CB/S

5 rd BJ Hill DT

6 rd (package both 7 rd to move up) Colby Gossett G

 

If Hurn pulled this off, our team would be in prime position now and later.

Hurney said he was going to completely re-build the WR group. We were never going to throw big money at a WR. If the price is right, which it could be, we could still go after Robinson or Watkins. And Smith very well may not be on the roster day 1. Wallace is the most unlikely because his skillset and Torrey's are redundant. We still need a #1 guy, which Watkins and Robinson are.

Whether you like it or not,  Funchess is your #1 guy.  I was reading something that said that even if we acquire Watkins,  he shouldn't necessarily be expected to supplant Funchess.  Both may realistically be high-end twos,  but that's good enough to win championships.  

I don't think Robinson is in the cards. 

 

As for the OP,  short of Ridley falling,  I don't see us considering anyone else in the first except Kirk.  If we believe that he can master the route tree and be a legitimate outside receiver,  then we might consider him.  Those are two big "ifs" though. I read somewhere that he's been called something like "baby OBJ" or something.  

I'm starting to think we'll go DB or RB in the first, as there will likely be first round material at those positions.  

[WOW!!]

Yeah I think we are going safety 1st now.  Unless a Dlinemen or Olinemen is to good to pass up. 

[Ratzer]

Biggest needs are S, CB and G in my opinion. Secondary needs are RB, TE and depth at DE, WR, OT and QB.

DJ Moore is the best WR in the draft. There’s my hot take. But I don’t think we’ll draft him.

Well we're most certainly looking hard at him.  If we trade back,  I'm going to go out on a limb and say he's a lock for us in the second round.

I thought that was a possibility until the combine. I don’t see him making it out of the first with how well he performed there. I hope you’re right though.

I hope we don't go RB in the first. There will be solid RBs to complement McC as late as our 3rd rounders. Take one on day two, yes. Day one, please no. I hope we get a solid safety in round one or Ridley or a DE prospect if our coaches really become sold on one. I could do OL too to replace Norwell and Kalil next year.

Chubb looks like he's slowly getting his explosion back.  He will never have the speed or probably the hands of Barkley,  but I don't think that Barkley will ever have the pure power of Chubb.  With explosiveness,  Chubb is the real deal, I'm telling you.  He's the perfect complement to McCaffrey. I know it's splitting hairs,  but CMC will be complementing Chubb during most series.  

I listened to one of Chubb's coaches saying that he believed Chubb was getting that explosion back.  I passed it off as just rhetoric,  but after seeing him participate at the Combine,  I am starting to believe,  and for me an explosive Chubb is a scary thing,  and makes him extremely valuable.

I definitely like Chubb but I just don’t like the idea of two years in a row taking a position where the drop off after the 1st round is significantly less than most every other position. Chubb in the 2nd (even with a trade up)? Sure thing. But in a top heavy secondary year like this year I hope we go safety or corner.

[stirs]

look between 20 and 30  for who might be available, remember that QB's will go higher than their value

I think we're going to take a safety. It's the one position of need that is really lacking in free agency unless someone else gets released. Should be an intriguing name or two at #24. If they're isn't a safety there we like, I think we go interior OL.

Safety would be the natural conclusion...but this thing is wide open depending on who falls or doesnt fall to 24...if a run on a certain position happens we do have options...

we wont draft a wr in the first we are getting JAVON WIMS later
