Marshall's catch

Our WRs are way overrated. David Tyree caught a ball on his helmet, didn’t do squat after that. It was a wild catch but is honestly meaningless in terms of whether or not Marshall will be a good starter.

We definitely could use a solid WR. We didn’t make the Burns trade, but had we, I would have said we have to use a high 1st on a WR. Plenty of TEs you can get in the 2nd that end up solid, but top first round WRs are common now. I’d be interested in a guy who potentially pushes DJ to WR2 like a Hill/Waddle or Chase/Higgins or Metcalf/Lockett. The rest of our WRs are too inconsistent as you said. Without the extra picks, I’m 50/50 on using a high first for a WR since we still need a QB.

This is a depth draft.  The more I research I do, the more heavily weighted I feel it is with "4-star" guys than "5-star".  The number of "can't miss" prospects are thinner this year, IMO. That's the reason I'm not too worried about sitting around pick 10 (as long as we don't slide past 15).

Is 10 a big cliff? Seemed like top 4 was a good spot with Carter, Anderson and the two QBs but I haven’t paid much attention to non-QBs after that.

I'd say there's a distinct tier, I'm counting 7 clear cut tier 1s:

(3) DL: Carter, Anderson, Murphy

(1) QB: Bryce 

(2) WR: Addison & Johnson

(1) OL: Skoronski

(1) CB: Cam Smith

*Bresee, Stroud, Mayer, & Ringo have arguments for it but see a bit of a shift looking at them and readiness+impact combo.

Cliff? No, but a step down and flush with positions we are actually good/okay at--OT, CB, S.  QBs, WRs and Mayer would be the target here.  WRs Quentin Johnston and Jordan Addison along with QBs Levis and Richardson.  Some mocks have Stroud sliding if AR-15 and/or Levis get picked beforehand.

I can see Levis going before Stroud and we trade up slightly for CJ.  I know people aren't fans of his game when he plays from behind, but there's a lot of talent to like with him.

I could hardly believe that Marshall caught that ball without it touching the turf.

This almost unbelieve catch was attributed to consentration,skill and lots of luck.

Cotchery caught it

I’ve heard Coach speak on it twice, and it appears he believes they ruled it incomplete?

[Catsfan69]

How come no-one mentions the pass? It was a good throw and catch.

 

We are on the upswing. We are winning out.

ahhhhhh remember when you all had me racking up poo for saying Marshall should take Robbie’s place in the beginning of the year?

yea, good times.

idiots.

I honestly thought he’d be better in AZ.

A dickbag is always a dickbag. He only played hard year one to get that contract. Now he doesn't give a rip.

If we're being honest that's basically a drop that lucked into a catch.
