I agree. People forget Diggs gave us little the last 8 games. I think 2024 Shakir will be better than 2024 Diggs. Why is Diggs on a one year deal with the Texans? Because his arrow is clearly pointing down. Shakir's is up. We shall see. It is almost impossible for Coleman to give us less than Gabe Davis did over the last eight games. I love this board, but it is just sooo negative. I fought with so many posters about "we drafted the wrong Josh." And Terrell Bernard - I admit I had my doubts, I really wanted Jack Campbell and the Lions took him early. But even for him I posted "let's let the young man play before we judge him." Same here. I think we will be better at WR even if we add nothing. Time will tell.

Our wide receiver room is very likely better with no more adds - and there will be at least one. Gabe Davis and Diggs gave us virtually nothing for the second 2/3rds of last year. If Samuel and Coleman don't give us more in games 1-8 than Davis and Diggs gave us in the final 8, I will be very surprised. It seems very clear Shakir is just tapping into what he will be - he barely played the first few games last year as we tried to have Harty and Sherfield emerge. They didn't. Please don't sign any old guys. We wanted to get younger and bigger at wideout. We did. I think in 2024, Shakir will be better than Diggs. Folks remember Diggs from 2020 and 2021. Whether due to attitude or age, the objective evidence from the recent past is that he is not that guy anymore. And it is indisputable his arrow is down, not up. Why do you think he is on a one year deal with the Texans? Buy low, sell high, it is pretty basic.

It was obvious we needed juice from youth. We got that this year - most, if not all, of these picks will make the team and contribute. We had a great draft last year. Kincaid and Torrence are already there. Dorian Williams, I believe, will be something special. Shakir is emerging. Cook and Terrell Bernard (how many times did I read "I can't believe we wasted a third on him"), are young stars. I am not sure Curtis Samuel is one ounce less than the Diggs we saw in the second half last year. If Samuel can match what Diggs did in the second half, I can't imagine Keon Coleman can be less than Gabe Davis was last year. The receiving corps stands to be better than last year - even if we make no more WR moves (and we will). Likewise, I don't think Cole Bishop can be less than last year's Jordan Poyer. Morse always lacked the sand to keep from getting pushed back into Josh. And with Diggs off his back, Josh and our new PCs can now comfortably assert themselves and distribute the ball as they see fit. Though it is of course not assured, we stand to be better than last year. I think the team did one helluva job fixing the cap and getting younger. We reloaded and are reloading - and we may well have down so with zero on-field fall off. Well done.

Clayton has never played a single down of organized football at any level. Heavens. Watch his work out though, OMG! Line THAT dude up at WR, no one will cover him!

Take Tyler Harrell. Why not!

Not a bad pick, needed a late CB. Hardy is fine.

What if you told Rice before the draft "a punter and TWO kickers will get picked before you." Maybe he is a nightmare to have around?

I hope one of these next few picks before us is Flourney. Beane is screwing us, and its a point of principal now.

Back-up tackle woo-hoo. I guess Shorter was able to block Van Den Mark's attempt to take control of the draft.

A kicker went ahead of Rice! I was hoping they would take Flourney so we could not.

All kidding around aside, I humbly submit we have had a very good draft, which will go from very good to great if Coleman pans out.

Tyrell Harrell is reputedly as fast as Worthy. Developmental traits!

That's why I used his name. That was the joke. We like 'em slow.

Never mind about Boyd! 4 picks until we take Jerry Rice.

Much rather have Khristian Boyd than Gabe Hall. Of course, what they hell do I know!

He looks very good. Never there when I wanted him in my countless mocks so kept taking Beau Limmer!

Milano needs to drill McDaniel on the sideline and break his stupid glasses.

That one hurts. Not getting Washington is a bummer, him going to Miami is physically painful. Guess we are all-in on Flourney. Geez.

That's the other one I was trying to think of - to me that is the value of having a couple 7th rounders laying around. You get to pick your UDFAs and leave them on lay-away. Save Brock Purdy of course.

There is supposed to be another very good one, forgot his name.

Don't be shocked if we take a punter. Bean still mad about Punt God.

Khrisian

If he is around, would really like Christian Boyd. One tech when DaQuan done. Can rotate now. Did Malik Washington and Rice steal something and nobody told me? It is bad enough we don't want them, but I don't get that NOBODY wants them. I was mocking Washington to us at 128 and usually not getting him. Get our new Beasly!

I really like Thrash and Washington, so don't abandon all hope on the wideout! We will take another. They had Flourney on a visit.

Happy with this pick. We have addressed 3 of our biggest needs. Let's hope they picked the right guys - only time will tell.
