Would the apples to apples comparison be yards per target? These numbers actually made me hopeful for the kid. He’s likely gonna stay his rookie contract.

I think a lot of them have degrees already. They are just early in the sense they could play another year.

So we’re getting close. I saw maxx was sniff the board. Is it D Thompson at safety that we’re thinking? Shareef from PSU? Getting to guys I know little about.

Been a pain trying to tell people this all draft.

At least it’s not in the first?

Can we just trade a 6th to the bengals now to get in front of the cheats and give them 7 total 6th rounders.

Do it in draft with talent. It’s pretty clear no GMs think the WRs are good this year. I will accept a TE

Moving ahead of them should be easy. We’ve jumped already.

Clearly past that point now

I loved Taylor but I’m gonna trust Beane on this. All I wanted was a good OT at that spot. I trust the process that they got a good one

Watching Myles Jack out produce him (rushing yards vs receiving yards) while covering him the whole game in college was great film.

We can’t exercise his 5th option. The deadline has passed

Good pick. I know there was a lot of desire for WR but this class is good at OT.

More tackles falling please.

I threw Taylor in as an example of good OT still on the board. Harry did play against a down Pac 12 but he was changing the outcome of games. I didnt see that with any of the guys you listed (now with tape on all). I am not confident Butler will hold on to the ball enough and DK is too one dimensional. I am also leveraging the analysis of the other draft scouts (too much tape for any one person).

I think I've done adequate research between tape and reading others analysis. I watched the Butler tape. Was not impressed (too many drops). I was high on Harry based on his tape. I saw bits of AJ from the DK tape. I'll look at a game now, but I don't think his game is there. I DID see Taylor man handle Josh Allen and really everyone against him. We can disagree about if the tackle talent is better than the WR talent in this draft. Finished the Auburn game for AJ brown. I don't see the upside relative to anyone we have currently. He had 2 big gainers and a TD. Also 3 balls that hit him in the hands (2 were difficult catches the other he got hit hard on). Caught him loafing on several plays. I dont see it (I was more biased in this game than all my other evaluations probably). His stats were super interesting when considered with the film I've seen (one game and pieces from the DK review) he appears to be a boom or bust guy (not much on a bubble or chunks of yards cause he got into open space). He honestly reminds of a poor man's Sammy. Lastly, it seems AJ kills it during garbage time and against over matched opponents. I contrast this with Harry who was often making game breaking plays in the 4th quarter. What are you thinking AJ brings that we don't have in the WR room? I can tell you Taylor is a beast on the tape. Finally 4 OTs off the board in round 1 and only 2 WR. This draft is good at OT. We should get one so we don't need one in a down year next year.

Yeah I think our assessment of the WR room is the same (not looking long term with any one but Cole really), but DK can't change directions/Butler has the drops/I didnt watch tape of AJ. Like I said I'm not sold on any of them. I think our OL room is only slightly better than our WR room so thats where my focus is with pick 2. Good discussion thanks!

I liked his tape against Josh Allen. I thought he could be plug and play RT. remind me what your thoughts on him were. Agreed on DK.

The other part is we don't have the meatball now. So we needed someone in order just to maintain what we had with him else we were slipping. I agree young Oliver could be an upgrade over Williams from last year.

I just don't see the talent now is all. I could live with it if they decide, but I dont trust anyone on the board really. With the tackle position I see lots of good. I'm not sure what you mean by the risk (its a lower draft choice?, its still a 2nd rounder!). I'm cool with your TE plan. I agree with no glaring holes, but I would use that to pick from what the draft is good at for the future. Feels as if you want to try to land a superstar skill position player. I think the most probable outcome in that scenario is our pick at the skill position isnt that good and we are in need of OL next year when the talent isnt there in the draft (cause we have so many short contracts to serviceable OL). I'm ok with different approaches, but let me know if youre thinking something different.

I'm waiting to use a lot draft capital on WR until next year. This year is serviceable and will be dependent on Josh Allen (same thoughts for RB). We could still use a late pick on a flyer, but next year is deep at the skill positions so thats when I would spend my draft capital.

DL rotation? I think thatll be fine. Put Phillips in for 40% of the snaps like they are planning to.

You can trade OL too. I wouldnt be surprised to see one or two of our FA OL signings get traded during camp. Their deals are great and other teams might realize they need some help. I dont want to see how Dawkins and Teller develop any more. I want them to have to compete and win a position. Long term your logic is assuming there is an extension for Spain and Teller works out. I don't think they want to be tied to that. This is supposed to be a sneaky good tackle class so I would recommend getting one as that is the position you still assume they need a starter.

Based on the depth of the draft I think youre on it. We need someone to develop but I like the 2nd 4th we have to pick Crosby. I want the next 3 to be offense with a tackle and TE

To those saying WR I think next year's draft is more stacked; thus, I think they stay away from it til next year. I think they go with the deep parts of this class OT, TE, DE. I would take Irv, Taylor, Ford, Winnovich or Ferguson. As others have mentioned, throw in a late pick and move up (I don't know the points sorry) to get the guy you want.
