Thoughts on Garrett Wilson (WR) at 6

If we solve the OT problem then I wouldn’t mind it. He looks like Chase out there with his YAC ability. We’re at least a year away so might as well give Darnold/Cam all the weapons possible and go after a QB next year. Who knows…with elite weapons and a full off-season maybe Cam can actually do something.

Wouldn't get my hopes up on Shi making a major impact as a receiver. From Fitterer's comments, they really are trying to find a place him, and they're hoping that he becomes an adept punt returner or gunner. Shi needs to find his niche on ST. They apparently see him as a WR4.

 

 

 

 

 

I’m not, that point was more about how our WR room is nowhere near set or this would equate to being a luxury pick. Shi getting as much, if not a bit more room to work than Marshall was rather concerning for Marshall.

My only thing is that I don’t see a guy we can truly get behind other than Moore but he’s not the type to take the top off a defense or slowly grind one into submission.

Marshall was strangely MIA even at the end of last year with Shi honestly looking more promising at times. 

It’s a need and getting a young stud, arguably the best offensive skill player in an entire draft could really sweeten things up for a new young QB. 

Just imagine a young duo like Stroud and Wilson similar to what CIN has in 2 former teammates. Could be a cool tandem to lead a new era.

I am a little bit afraid that Marshall might end up being a flat out bust.

I get that we have issues at QB but he was really underwhelming. I hated the pick(OL stan) but liked the player, so I am a little surprised he didn't flash more in 2021. 

But, I think taking a WR at 6 would be a very Matt Millen-esque move. We have so many critical needs at positions that adding a top 10 pick WR to a WR corps with a lot of committed money just doesn't make any sense. Even less so considering we don't have a QB.

Now, if we traded a QB, I might be persuaded with an argument but as it stands right now, WR is not a dire need nor makes much sense.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
