There is still buzz about the Falcons taking a QB.  While it's possible, I really don't see it happening.  I honestly think it's to get Denver, Patriots or even Washington to jump up to #4.

I see Denver as a move up candidate as well.

I don't mind a WR at #8, but I don't think he's (Waddle) better than Chase or Smith.  And I'd be really concerned about him staying healthy.

I think he's going to be a solid player but I just wouldn't take him over the other guys I expect to be available.  Personally, I'd be shocked if we took him at #8 without at least looking into trading down first.

While this is technically true, my general belief is that you can find above average WR play in Rounds 2 and 3 (or later) than you can above average offensive line play.  WRs coming out of college these days are simply more prepare to contribute early on in their career than offensive linemen, with the average NFL offense incorporating more and more concepts that originated in the college ranks (e.g. spread field, RPOs, etc).  Can you find good linemen later on? Yes.  I just think it's less likely.

So I would very much prefer to take a stud offensive linemen at 8 and then try to find your 3rd WR (yes, I understand that with Robby Anderson and DJ Moore's contracts being up next year, we may need to view this player as a No. 2--I don't think we'd lose both) than vice versa.

Yes, I agree.  I suppose the context here is they want a game changer--a threat--a super talent--and not just a player to develop who could step into a key role.

And I am in the OT camp as well.  I think there are 4 good ones, but 1 is a RT who could possible play LT--Tevin Jenkins OKSt.

Little, Jenkins, Radunz, Leatherwood, Cosmi. These are all starting tackles that have a decent chance to be there at 39. Sure, I'd much prefer Slater or Sewell, but I won't bitch as long as a starting LT is found.

To be fair, I don't watch a ton of tape on these players, but Waddle's numbers dropped every year, even as Bama's offensive production went up. On the other hand Smith's production went up every year. I think I would prefer Smith or Chase over Waddle. Waddle reminds me a bit of that Clemson receiver that came out a while ago, he ended up just being a return specialist.

Just my observation.

You mean they dropped last year when he only played 5 games due to an injury? Look at his stats from last year on a per game basis. He was on pace for 75/1670/12 before he got hurt.

I am pretty damn confident in saying that Waddle will not be as good as Tyreek Hill.

Devonta had more catches this season than Waddle had in his career at Bama.  Devonta is a tad taller and like 10 pounds lighter than Waddle.  Virtually no difference size wise.

Waddle is also coming off injury.

Devonta is light years better than Waddle.

I hope you’re joking.  If not your clueless.

he had 800+ yards as a true freshman playing in 15 games.  And dropped to 500+ playing in 2 less games sharing the WR room with upperclassman like Jeudy, Ruggs, and Smith who all were/are 1st founders.

 

 

also

prior to his injury THIS year.

Smith had 483 yards and 4 TDS to Waddle’s 557 and 4 TD’s

Have other WR agents been leaking BS about Waddle?? Hes the real deal folks, a top ten LOCK. This years is heavy cream, in 2019 he would have gone 3rd. By real reports hes the type that plays hurt, real tough guy for the WR spot. No Chase, everyone would signing waddle as the top WR. Reports are he was the best form ALL the Bama WRs form 2019 til now.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      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.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      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.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      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.
