I would not be surprised to see us go with J. james out of Oregon with our #2. He can replace AE and Goodson, improving both STs and 3rd downs. I've seen him rated a mid 2nd round which also puts him in the BPA area and a good possibility of being avaiable. NO pick up of Sproles last yearwas rated the best FA acqusition by many and James is in the same mold.

Please God no. Sure he can be explosive, but dude fumbles too much and doesn't have the greatest hands in the world. 6 fumbles alone this past season. Plus, he's a projected 3rd rounder-ish right now and even in the 4th I wouldn't touch him.

Fumbles too much? Where are you getting your information? I watched every single game he played in and I don't remember him ever fumbling during a kick off or punt return, much less it being a problem.

Also, where are you looking that he's projected to be a 3rd rounder??

AE is clearly not the best returner in the league. They have stashed him there for a reason. Not even going to speculate on what it is though.

He was very sure-handed this year though and with a top-ranked offense playing it safe on returns is much more paramount than giving a vanilla offensive scheme a short field.

this sounds like something Adam Gold would say... considering, you know, he's a brain dead buffoon that somehow landed a gig on the radio.. 99.9 The Fan must be an equal opportunity employer that filled their void of hiring someone with down's syndrome..

Kiper/Scouts Inc. has Graham as the #53 overall prospect...#7 WR.

For an example of him fumbling a punt, the GT game this year.

23 yard average on kickoff returns, 9.5 average on punt returns for his career.

Walter Football - Unranked, FA

CBS Sports - 34th WR, projected 7-FA

NFL.com - Not in the Top Ten Receivers, or Top 50 overall prospects

Your link said he had 6 fumbles this season, it didn't say how many of those occurred on punt or kick returns. Plus this selection isn't about being a receiver anyways. He would be coming here because he is an explosive, experienced punt returner.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
