Matt Miller: 1st round could have 8 WR’s


Recommended Posts

reason to believe that one of the last two will be there at 33.  I'm good with X or LMC there.  There may be an edge that looks really good, but we have so many holes to fill, take the help for Young and at our second pick, BPA will surely fit one of our holes. 

Imho, after WR, we need corner, edge, lb, center, te, and dl.  We will get excellent value at the second pick.  Take the wr at 33.

I wouldnt pay much attention to what is said about the draft right now.   It seems just after the season the media is fairly accurate but as the draft gets closer and closer the media come up with their own narratives more and more about whose stock is up or down etc and it seems to get less and less accurate as the draft gets closer.

Good. Possibly 5 QBs go as well, we grab a top 20 talent player at CB or DE if this happens. A run on any specific position + the super deep QB class this year only helps us 

And there will be tons of OTs going as well, I think we will get a very very good non WR at 33, and potentially 39, and then draft a WR in round 3.

I'm not saying it's going to happen or to expect it even, but be ready for it and also be ready for 1) someone to fall that wasn't expected that we can get and take advantage of and 2) us to draft a WR earlier than what most mock/draftnik boards had them at.

Doing that doesn't mean failure, btw.

Drafts don't necessarily abide by the boards of mockers and draftniks. The draft is or can be a very unpredictable beast and you're going to have to be able to ditch your plan and adapt/react on a dime.

As of today, our biggest current need is CB not WR 

Even if I believe that, the problem is that there are maybe a couple of corners projected in that range that would be a good value: Kool-Aid McInstry and maybe T.J. Tampa. But they aren't locks to be graded higher than a receiver that may fall, and the way things seem to be presently going, I'd say that we're putting a premium on receiver.

Simms through in 10 offensive lineman. At this point with 50 first rounders predicted we can take a top five defensive player, lol.

 Someone is full of horse shizz!

I think I read that there are about 22 players with first round grades this year, and normally that number is around 18-which indicates that there is more depth in this draft than others.  OT, QB, WR---loaded this year.  I also like the CB crop after day 1.  This draft fits our needs pretty well, and it seems, based on free agency that we are positioned to get a WR, ILB, and then CB in this draft.  I expect a TE later.  I understand the desire to draft a C, but they are showing no signs of it.  Looks like Corbett and Mays are the guys.

To me, ILB has less depth and is better at the top (thinking round 2 here) than CB, so I expect to see the #33 pick to be a WR and the #39 pick to be an ILB.  Pick 65 could be a TE or CB.  I also think we could double dip at ILB or CB.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
