For all the people crying about the WR choice, do keep in mind that these DE/EDGE guys seem to be dropping. So we may end up being able to grab a starting caliber guy anyway. 

and maybe they aren't as good as their hype. It sure looks like the nfl sees it that way or at least that there isnt so much difference between the top 10

You don't like taking the drafts #1 WR?  Sigh

I don’t like not fast WRs, that aren’t really good route runners….for an O in desperate need of YAC and speed.   We just spent a first on XL to develop. 

not saying anything new or reactionary.  Same thought posted earlier today multiple times

He’ll get separation by being twice the size of the DB and boxing them out for the ball.

Plenty of analysts had him over both. I don't know where some of y'all have been. Don't get lost in the lying season. Tet was regarded by many as the top receiver in this draft. 

I'm going off plenty of rankings plus my own. I had rated in the 30's overall in this draft but thought he'd get picked middle of the first. I had Golden and Hunter above him by quite a lot. 

Defense was a much bigger need and I had Walker rated 3rd/4th overall in this draft, so did ESPN and a bunch of others.

 

Problem with tet is you can take him out of the game by pressing him and being physical at the Los by putting hands on him with a solid punch by the DB. Can't be an X in the NFL and get taken out by press coverage and DB's being physical.

I am not sure I have ever seen a prospect as overrated as Warren by our fanbase. 

Even worse, some douche on this forum was saying we would be an idiot not to draft him and guaranteed he would go top 10 🤦‍♂️ The dude also pooed every post I said that I rated him as late 1st round talent 

Also not surprised loveland went before him

I think it is largely a lot of solid, starting caliber players but not much in the way of elite players. But, given depth of this class, I do think you will see some Pro Bowl/All Pro caliber guys. Probably at least 2, IMO. The issue will be figuring out which guy it is.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
