Let's say the top-5/or guys talked about a lot are gone by 28:

 

Watkins, Evans, Benjamin, Matthews, and Lee

 

This can definitely happen imo because you have the Lions, Jets, Ravens, Colts, Redskins (if they trade into R1), and Chiefs at the very least who need wideouts pretty bad (albeit a few worse than others so they may not all necessarily take a WR).  Also, there's more than one wideout needy team past us that could trade up for someone.    

 

Now out of the remaining crop, would you take any at 28?

 

Most notables:

 

Allen Robinson

Odell Beckham Jr.

Brandin Cooks

 

I know it's dependent on what other guys are available but would you be content with any of those three at 28?

 

Not asking if you'd take them over an available CB, OL, or whatnot but if you would take a wideout outside that top-5 at 28.

Beckham Jr. and Cooks I would strongly consider. Would depend on how the rest of the board fell. I would go Beckham Jr before Cooks. He plays big despite only being 6'. High points the ball great. Has more than enough speed to be a deep threat, and gives you production as a returner as well. Not to mention his hands can engulf footballs and his catch radius is insane for a guy who's not 6'3 +.

 

Not a fan of Robinson in rd 1. He doesn't stand out enough in any area of his game to be a building block for an offense imo.

I've really warmed up to OBJ recently.  Think he'd be a great addition.  

 

His best plays are coming up or deep for those long balls and he can really outplay CBs on the physical side of things.  Also, he doesn't seem to give up if a play is extended.  Those type of strengths fit well with Cam.

My favorite is Robinson of those 3.

 

I really want to like Robinson and I'm likely missing something because scouts and a lot of people like him...but nothing jumps out to me.  He body catches a ton and kinda reminds me of Carlton Mitchell from a few years back.  

 

I've seen some nice highlights however so am not completely dissing him.

i would have to go with Odell all the way. they guy had over 1000 yards WR, and over 2000 all purpose yards. Cordarrelle Patterson didnt have that many yards last year, and he went 28 to the vikings. he had a huge impact for them as well, returning kicks, running the ball, and playing WR. Odell plays larger then his 6'0 height, has huge hands to catch away from his body, vertical speed and YAC ability.

 

another name not being mentioned is Davante Adams from Fresno St who could have a late 1st round grade.

Of those? Probably Robinson, though OBJ is growing on me. I also really like Abbrederis and Moncrief if those other guys are gone.

I don't know if I'd take all of them at 28, but there's about a dozen really good prospects in the first two rounds.

I doubt five go before 28, and I'm sure a few of those dozen or so will still be there at 60.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
