I know most of y'all want defense but currently at pick 4...

I think you go McMillan or Graham. 

McMillan is a giant receiver and it's been a long time since we had such a big target. Graham is a monster and I couldn't imagine him and Brown on the line together.

Kind of sad we can't get both. I think its hard to find a guy that can play 3, 4 and 5 tech, but at the same time its not easy finding a top WR talent, especially for us. Some teams are money drafting WR in round 2... we are not. Should we just say F it and take the top WR looking at us, or do we build this thang in the trenches? Tough decision but hopefully we look back two years from the draft and say they made the right one.

I'm on the D train.  Give me Carter in round 1 and round 2.  Team game.  D often makes the O good or bad.  We went O heavy last year. 

I wouldn't be shocked if 6'5 4.5 speed TMac comes into the NFL struggles separating.  We got of enough of that.

This is not a popular take so flame away: the recent developments re Jonathan Brooks has yet again thrown the RB room in a state of flux, and that’s not good for a team that relies heavily on the running game. With a potential for another lost season in rehab if not longer, a blue chip prospect like Ashton Jeanty cannot and should not be off the table especially if he’s BPA. This guy is gonna be a beast with loads of potential. Bank on it.

TMac at #4 no question.  For instance, we probably have 2-3 more wins this year with a dependable, real #1 receiver.  If he's not there, take defense or trade down.

[PappyMay]

If we take a RB before one of our 4th round picks id be irritated. We just paid Chubba. Yes we need another RB but after what happened with Brooks I don’t see how y’all would want to spend a day 1 or 2 pick on one.

I understand it is easier than saying his actual name, but my mind instantly goes to Tracy McGrady every time I read "TMac" on here.

All Hurney did was go bpa in the 1st. After that it was his gut.

Bpa can bust too.

The Lions have the best record in the NFC.  But you can probably insert the Chiefs, Rams, Patriots etc..  Chiefs had Tyreek Hill (fifth round pick) and the Rams had Kupp (3rd round pick), so neither of them spent high draft picks to get elite WR's.  The chiefs spent a first to get worthy, but he is certainly not elite as yet.  

St Brown was a 4th round pick.  So I am not sure he is a good argument to spend a top 10 pick on a wr.  

 

This doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t matter how you get the elite WR, you need one. We have proven time over time we can’t draft WR since DJ. So grab the best one in the draft and take your shot.

Neither FA market looks good either. I really hate a good CB like Will Johnson to get skipped over as well. Ultimately our weakest point is DL so I lean towards Graham.

LOL, you should be inside my head

McGrady was my favorite player for years, have a bunch of his shoes, jersey, all of it.

I'm also an Arizona alum who has seen every snap of McMillan's career....................

And I still screw up saying his first name after 3 years of watching him, and I also still can't not hear McGrady in my own head when I say T-Mac.

But it's a problem I'd LOVE to deal with for the next 10+ years as well, hahahaha.

And the Patriots got Tom Brady at pick 199, why can't we just do the same thing?!?!?!

You realize how asinine it is by pointing out the mid round players who ended up as Top 5 players at their position is, right?

If every team could turn all their mid round picks into superstars, this would be an entirely different league and nobody would care who they take in the first round, because you're leaving every draft with a handful of new future stars.

[amcoolio]

I'm starting to think we will pick in the 8-12 range with the way the defense is playing. However, I'd love to get Hunter or McMillian. This team is dying for a big play weapon. I don't think you realize how having a Chase/Lamb type WR would open up things for Chuba and the running game.
