Darius Heyword Bay vibes here

I’ll take the packers

Congrats CB you earned it! Amazing success story for this young man. Hope it works out well for all!

This is the kinda guy I’d like to see a flier on in the back end of the draft. He could come in and compete for WR5 and play specials. Probably isnt the WR1 and boundary guy that people want but he could come in and contribute with the chance to develop by adding weight, strength and improved technique to be able to win on the outside down the road

I feel like Shemar to the saints is a guaranteed bust. I just don’t get it. Maybe the freakish traits will correlate if he can ever turn on the technique and instinct but I feel like he’ll be significantly overdrafted. Another name that flew up your board from V1 is Walter Nolan. I think that’ll be interesting as he’s gotten more buzz but a guy like grant or Harmon has fallen. Is Shavon Revel no longer in contention in RD1 Another name at 30 I feel like might be low key sleeper pick would be Landon Jackson. They seem to love him and I am not a big fan but think it’s one of the high floor picks I could see Beane making

Keon Colemans phone probably uses dial up internet

When are these starting up? I have seen any reported yet

No thanks to Cooper at this point with the addition of Palmer. Hed just be standing in the way of a young guy coming in and possibly contributing or growing into a player. Coleman Shakir Palmer Samuel Rookie Draft WR5 who hopefully can contribute on special teams.

Bet he’ll treat himself to a yummy vanilla yogurt with berries mixed in.

this all makes sense so I can get on board with that perspective. I also think it’s important to look past this season in regards to positional depth. When they brought in Bosa, many people dismissed DE as an idea at 30…to me, no 1 year investment should factor into how they approach the draft. After this season, we’ve really only locked up Groot, Hoecht and Solomon on the edge. Of those three, Groot is your only true hand in the dirt true 3 down player. At DT, it’s Ed and Carter past this season. Not only would adding a player on the DL be provided with the runway to immediately impact this team, they’ll also be a much more central piece in year two. The class being deep only helps this. In regards to my sunk cost, I understand it is not a heavy investment so maybe I worded that poorly. What my point boils down to is that Beane tends to like “his guys” and I don’t see him pivoting from any of them and bringing in a WR early especially in a thinner class. Beane is heavily relying on those guys to continue to ascend. I think they’re counting on Keon and Kincaid to take another step. Is this the right strategy? At this point after free agency, it might have to be barring some significant moves IMO

I think mature players who have been around the block understand this. CJ Gardner-Johnson said as much when he got traded. I don’t have the exact quote but it essentially alluded to “I’ve been around, there are some young guys who have stepped up and now need to be paid. It’s part of the life cycle and the business of the game. I had my moment and now it’s someone else’s”

My pre-draft prediction will be a base 11 personnel of: Palmer - X Coleman - Z Shakir - H Kincaid/Knox - Y

It’s not adjusting a strategy. It’s doubling down on it. Ever since the Elam draft Beane has allowed need to drive his early round selections. I don’t expect that to change. The difference now is that it feels the draft pool of rookies plays much better into the more substantial and immediate needs we have on D. That being said, in a draft flush with receivers, we ended up taking the 8th one off the board with our first pick. Nothing would surprise me. Honest question because idk the offensive guys. Do you foresee a weapon available in RD1 or 2 that would come in and raise the floor of the offense? More so than a rotational DE/DT or CB2 would add to the defense? I don’t see how that piece works into our team based off of contracts and draft capital that are sunk costs.

Maybe. But not immediately. I would not expect a 3rd round WR to come in and immediately contribute given the current state of our roster. I feel the impact of a rookie class needs to be immediate given where we are. You can frame it based off need AND based off of who is currently in the WR room (this year and next). All this considered, I think it’s best to punt on any early selections and try and continue to evolve what we currently have while adding a back-end WR who can contribute down the road or immediately on ST.

Round 4 WR book it
