glad we stuck to it. i think we're going to be really happy we did.

Two of the better talent evaluating teams in the league wanted him. Sounds good to me!

49ers and Rams wanting him seems like a positive sign for us. They do have a lot of success in scouting WR's 

[Bear Hands]

Yep… if we took those offers, we’d basically be looking at Nolen or one of the outlier or low production guys (Walker, Mykel, Stewart) paired with maybe Higgins or Noel at WR. 

This McMillan+Scourton+Princely combination just seems way more sound, has far less/no flags and way greater potential.  Honestly, stepping back and looking at it, it really is one of the stronger scenarios we could’ve asked for.  WR1 and 2 potential starting OLBs.

The Denver trade we made was a very cool package that gave us a lot of flexibility. One of the more interesting mid-draft trades we’ve made and I think it really helped us out.

[Kentucky Panther]

Think we absolutely nailed our pick. This isn’t the first we’ve seen about teams wanting him, either.

Cool. Sure seems like all the media talk about T-Mac slipping leading up to the draft was just flat out misguided and we drafted the guy that the actual NFL talent evaluators had as the clear WR1. Good.

I couldn't understand some of the other guys getting hyped up.

It was probably orchestrated by some of these teams in the hopes he would slip down to them

[HardcoreHokie]

Also, Cowboys were gonna take him at 12.

Highly likely.

Yeah like the Rams never tried to trade for Burns and the 49ers didn't trade up for Lance. Even the better teams still do big stupid things at times.

Should have taken that trade IMO. Both of those teams are desperate for rookie talent with their cap issues. This will be interesting to look back on too.

We're desperate for any talent due to our sucking issues.

T-Mac was widely regarded as the only receiver in this draft with WR1 potential. We couldn't trade and feel good about it.
