r/NFL Top 50 WR rankings.

[LinvilleGorge]

I really hope T-Mac participates in drills at the Combine but in recent years top prospects not doing much has become the norm. If he goes out there and runs 4.5 flat with good agility numbers then all the speed concerns are basically over and he's probably a top 10 lock. The speed question is really about the only question in his game.

I will say that if we want to assist the offense, adding a high level pass catching TE threat like Fannin Jr. or Elijah Arroyo is a good idea.

Warren at 8 works for me, especially if they're not sold on any of the defensive guys available then.

But we need to go all defense in the draft?  Just because we have swung and missed on WRs in the past doesn't mean we just give up on drafting WRs.  Agree we need to go defense heavy, but there needs to be a WR drafted and maybe even a TE.  Keep his targets the same as last year, Bryce could see a step backwards.

We have enough roster holes there shouldn't be any pressure felt to reach on any position. We're not fixing every problem overnight and even the best teams in the league have weaker areas on their rosters.

I don't think any of these guys are top 10 guys. That's a reach, IMO.

It's a very deep TE class, so that doesn't seem wise.

Warren is a trade down option, IMO

If things go well, this is still a multi-year rebuild.

Fans need to dissuade themselves of the notion of next season being some miraculous turnaround. 

This is a long term project because of how devastating the roster deconstruction was.

The only way we have a miraculous turnaround is if we hit an absolute home run draft class, are wizards in free agency, and Bryce builds on a strong finish to the season and fully metamorphosizes into the QB we drafted him to be. Well, here's to hoping...

I don't believe in XL and I still don't want to reach on wr at 8.

Well, that's assuming that it's actually a "reach." 

I'll add that reaching for any player at any position will not lead to desired results.

I think we need to go BPA in the 1st and ideally (for me at least) that ends up being some dude on defense that can stop a guy from running, throwing and/or catching the ball.  But if that isn’t the case, I can and will learn to live with it and won’t complain unless it’s a long snapper, RB and possibly a QB, punter or kicker.

Cause we desperately need a guy, any guy that is great at his position no matter which side of the ball he is on.

I think Warren is one of the few first round talents in this draft. This draft seems really light at the top, but good for overall depth. And Lord knows, good depth will be starters on this roster.

Well, you really never know how these things are going to go, but let me say this: unlike Devin Funchess, Tet McMillan is a receiver, and he's one with some real production unlike Kelvin Benjamin. Moreover, no one questions his heart, whether or not he wants to play the game, or whether he's a head case. People may forget, that there was something to be excited about after Benjamin's rookie year. There is something to be said for a "big" receiver with a wide wingspan. We've seen it throughout the years. Tet is said to be relatively fluid--movements not expected of a player his size, has an outstanding wingspan, and, most importantly (at least for me), has flypaper hands. For me, that's at least a reason to strongly consider drafting him after working him out to see if he's a fit for what you're trying to do.

without future projection there is no way AT wasn't one of the top 50 WRs in the league last year

One thing Dave Gettleman said that will stick with me forever is “don’t shop hungry”.  That is a sound philosophy. 
 

I think shortly thereafter he exiled Josh Norman, panicked and drafted three corners, two of which were irrelevant and I forget their names but the philosophy is sound nonetheless. 

DG was an actual football terrorist. No doubt in my mind we would have a Lombardi if not for him.
