Let's say we go CB or offensive lineman in round 1. My money is on Jaire Alexander, Josh Jackson or Isiah Wynn.

Round 2 come's around and we are determined to find Cam some more offensive help. Which of these players would make the most sense to you, assuming all are still available?

RB

  • Ronald Jones III
  • Sony Michel
  • Rashard Penny

WR

  • James Washington
  • Christian Kirk
  • DJ Moore

TE. 

  • Andrews
  • Goedert
  • Gisecki

 

 

IMO, two players at each position you listed will not be there at 55.  Jones, Michel, Kirk, Moore, Goedert and Geisicki in all likelihood will be gone end of first/early 2nd. 

Of the remaining players: Penny, Washington and Andrews, I'd take Penny. I'm not a fan of Washington and Andrews, though good, might not represent value at 55. Penny is a three-down back that would look nasty with CMC in our backfield. 

If we don't draft Reid at 24, I think SAF comes into play more in R2 with DeShon Elliot or maybe Bates, though Bates could creep up into the early-mid 2nd round.

NFL Network reported we met with Ridley yesterday.  Probably going to be hard to pass if he is there.

Hard is a understatement if you rewatch any of his tape he's a monster in all aspects of WR routes yac tough catches speed and more speed I don't see how you don't give Cam the tools to flourish. He gets criticized for his high throws and inaccuracies rightfully so, but adding a player who would dominate at short intermediate and deep might get us a lot of games more like wildcard 2017.

I would guess he is going to be the first receiver off of the board.  I just can’t see the first receiver making it to 24.  Hopefully I’m wrong.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Then if he needs time to grow up and he is going to sign an extension in needs to be a 3 year, 20m AAV. He doesn't deserve to get paid like a top 10 QB right now because he's not. Daniel Jones is getting 14m and is playing top notch football.  He may have had some better games, but his mechanics and footwork are still terrible when he feels any pressure, real or not. When he feels good, he steps into his throws like he should. When he doesn't, it's that body squared up or jumping arm toss or tip toe lob. His fumbling is a huge problem. He cant run QB sneaks. He cant really play from under center because his drop backs are terrible and he needs to be far back to get enough gapping to see the field. That's not top 10 QB contract worthy.  And let's not pretend that Bryce is some victim in all of this. Remember him packing on 20 lbs before the combine for the weigh in and walking around in a hoodie the entire time or practicing that S2 test that no one has mentioned before or since so he'd have better results, or riding that hype train like the wheels weren't ever going to fall off. Stroud got roasted and torn apart because of a "leaked" S2 result. He was being portrayed as an idiot while Bryce was being portrayed as a savant. All Stroud ever said was watch me play football. He proved his point.  Bryce did everything he could to make himself the number 1 overall pick and when that happens, guess where you're going? To a bad team, likely with a new coach and it's probably going to be full of dysfunction especially if the owner is Dave Tepper. But the real dysfunction came because Bryce wasn't Reich's choice for QB. He wanted Stroud because Stroud fit the type of offense he ran better than Bryce ever could. That's why he lost interest as soon as he was drafted. He was forced to play Bryce when it was obvious he wasn't ready to show off Tepper's shiny new draft pick. No HC is going to come to a team when he gets no choice over who he has as a QB to build around and he has to reinvent the wheel when the easiest thing to do was just buy the wheel that fit to begin with. Tepper lied to Reich all the way up until draft day, then he made that pick. Then Reich checked out, and i don't blame him one bit. And I'll be clear, I didn't want Reich. I wanted Steichen because of what he's doing in Indy or Ryans because I thought he would make one hell of a leader and HC.  Reich was a HC with no control over his own team. I put the majority of what's gone wrong involving Bryce on Tepper. The trade gave up too much in picks and DJ to build around him, we had a horrid GM who couldn't draft or build a roster, a QB forced to play before he's ready, an owner that thinks he knows more than football people.    There's a lot of moving pieces in all of this, but we cant pay Bryce 50m AAV at the end of this season while he figures it out, and the 5th year doesnt make sense either if we're a run heavy offense with Bryce as game manager. You dont need a 30m, 5th year option QB for that. If he's not there developmentally, he's not there.  Unfortunately, there isnt time to just calm down. He plays like a game manager this year and we have to move on. You dont give game managers huge contracts behind the highest paid oline in football, especially when you need to sign your LT. Any journeyman can give us Bryce level results for 15m less per year. Just the way it is. If there was more time, maybe. Unfortunately there isn't. Just the way it is.

      Offensive Line

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      We’ve had opportunities to take 2 of the top 5 Cs in the game and instead we took TMJ and Johnathan Brooks. Our drafts since 2017 have been 1 player per draft and then huge misses on lots of really good NFL players (who the huddle have talk about in the draft threads). It’s been mentioned here so many times to draft more OL once you get to the 2nd and beyond since C/G talent is top tier in day 2 and lots of surprise day 3 guys. Taking Brooks over Frazier just looks worse and worse as our OL helps Chuba and Rico look great and Frazier would be a large improvement over Mays.
