I have two memories of Claypool that stick in my head…signaling a first down and wasting time when his team was trying ti spike the thing…-100 awareness and selfishness. The other memory is running a slow, lazy, terrible route getting undercut by Taylor Rapp and costing his team a chance at victory.

There are no “number 1s” in that group. I keep spamming the board that this idea of a #1 is overdone. You just need good players who catch the football and are trustworthy to go with your awesome QB. It’s even better if they are dirt cheap, which is what the Packers have done here.

Watson needs a running mate

He’s way more of a diva than Diggs ever was and he isn’t as good. He’s a zero effort player who can’t catch.

Makes a ton of sense. I think they are actually in good shape there where they maybe don’t have to force it. IMO there is something about Trice, I just think he makes it and I think he would be fine at a base end. Fiske and Jenkins both 3 techs? I feel like they would opt for the bloodlines and the 34 inch arms if it came down to it.

Trice is a great fit for the Bills defense. He is similar to AJ Epenesa. Very productive, big and long, and had a terrible combine. He’s a disruptive pass rusher with a big motor. Braswell is the much more explosive athlete, but he’s smaller. Issac is a meh for me. If i’m picking I take Trice. I feel like he plays way faster than he tested. Jenkins makes a ton of sense with them knowing him all the way back to when dad was playing for the Panthers. And Jenkins is a great fit. I also like Fiske as you mentioned. Where do you have Marshawn Kneeland?

That’s true. Having Moss took things to an overload level for the Pats! It’s when they were at their best, freak catch or not, they still did not win! But crazy things happen in these championship games like the refs deciding that the Chiefs were allowed to hold on offense!

What annoys me is the this notion of a #1 receiver. The Chiefs won the last two championships without much at receiver but a TE who was a threat. The Niners have a #1 receiver who is a slot guy and is hurt a-lot. The Patriots won all those years without a real #1 and the time that they had one in Randy Moss they lost to the Giants. The Eagles won one with a backup QB and Zach Ertz. I think it is just an overrated notion that we need a big X or whatever. Erhardt-perkins doesn’t even really have these traditional receiver positions built in. It’s about concepts and you have an outside guy and an inside guy. In trips you have an outside guy, and inside guy and a middle guy and they run different routes depending on the concept called and the coverage. We just need good players who can run routes and be where they are supposed to be. If you can get a game breaker who the defense has to double, thats amazing. How many true #1s are there in the league anyway? Justin Jefferson, Tyreek Hill, Ja’Marr Chase…CeeDee Lamb and Amon Ra St. Brown probably but they are really slot players. Davante Adams probably, but he is slowing down as is Cooper Kupp and I need to see Nacua repeat this year before I annoint him. Deebo, but he is a slot/gadget guy. This notion that you need a true number 1 is a myth. There are like 5-6 teams in the league with true #1 receivers imo. Just give your all world QB weapons that are reliable, catch the football, and play within the system.

Just watching the combine on the ole DVR. Leggette is just built different from everyone else. His physique is impressive, but looks a little stiff in drills. Coleman probably next most impressive pysique. Franklin looks anorexic. Mitchell looks the part. Jacob Cowing is impressive as well. McKonkey is silky smooth. And our WR coach is running drills down there getting a first hand look.

100% drafting one in the first round. Brian Thomas is the somewhat attainable trade up dream, and to me the best fit after the top 3. Otherwise I like pretty much everyone in that next tier. I would also consider drafting another guy in the second or the 4th. But I think they should add another guy. Free agency falls in tiers with 30 something vets who were once big time: OBJ Michael Thomas Allen Robinson Big with Speed: MVS Jalen Guyton Michael Gallup DJ Chark Small with speed: Mecole Hardman Scotty Miller What I would do? Trade for Terrance Marshall. He’s fallen behind Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen as well as John Mingo. Marshall is big and fast, a former second round pick who played for Brady at LSU and in Carolina. He needs a fresh start badly and he should cost nothing. Maybe a late round pick swap. 6-2, 205, runs 4.4 and plays outside, can play inside. They don’t have a sixth and we have two of them. Maybe swap a sixth for their seventh. They have been trying to trade him, he is unhappy, you have the fit with Brady and you have Dan Morgan down there. Give him a fresh start. So: 1st round rookie Samuel Shakir Marshall or second draft pick Hollins Hardman or another speed free agent Shorter

I don’t hate it. He knows the offense and he has something to prove. He doesn’t stretch the field, but if he’s healthy he can ball.

Drew Haddad. Really miss that dude

Perhaps when Trevon Diggs gets cut after another lackluster injury riddled season they can go be somewhere as a package deal

I’m sure he will just sign with them after 1 year with the Texans. It’s like Brett Favre and the Vikings.

Stay gold Ponyboy. Stay gold

Some people have Cooper over Wilson, they are both super athletic, Wilson has more experience and was way more productive. Cooper doesn’t have the injury red flags. I think it’s a pick your flavor situation. DJ has Cooper as the 26th best player in the draft.

Ohh nice fit there. Perfect spot.

With the 38th pick in the TSW Mock Draft 1.0 the Tennessee Illegal Forward Passes select Patrick Paul, OT, Houston I considered DL and LB here, but I love this fit for the Titans. Paul is a pure left tackle left on the board and I honestly like him better than some of the tackles who went ahead of him. This may seem like a reach, but the Titans are all over him and he fits what they are looking for. In fact, new HC Brian Callahan was asked about what type of Olinemen he is looking for and he said he is looking for linemen who "are great in pass protection, can anchor, and have great length." Thatś Paul. He started 44 games at Left tackle for Houston in an Air Raid system. He can really pass protect. Paul is 6´7 1/2¨, 331 lbs, and has 36.25-inch arms. He has the length, the size, and the athleticism. Of course air raid guys typically lack in the run blocking acumen, but Paul is going to work for Bill Callahan, widely considered the best in the business. Callahan also teaches the tip of the spear, force deflection technique which is a lot less old school ¨low man wins¨ stuff, and all about length and using leverage and hips. Tip of the Spear stuff is based in jujitsu concepts and Paul even has a martial arts background. Paul is the perfect type of piece of clay for Callahan to mold. Finally, Paul crushed it at the senior bowl and killed it in one on ones and in the run game. He was mauling people in the run game all week. The second tier or OTs is why I went with the BPA in Nabers in round one. I would rather have Nabers and Paul or Morgan etc than have Alt and Keon Coleman or whoever else is left. That puts an end to my draft as our third-round pick went Arizona in a trade up last year for Will Levis and Tyjae Spears. @Mat68 and the Carolina Panthers are now on the clock!

49ers probably going OL or secondary

I love Aiyuk, and could see it happen. But one of the reasons they are taking this 30 million cap hit imo is to clear the money at that position and go younger and cheaper. I highly doubt they turn around and trade for Aiyuk and then give him a huge contract. JMO

I really like Franklin as well. I voted AD Mitchell because he is bigger, thicker, and faster. But it’s close for me and I would be happy with either. I’d be happy with Coleman or Legette because I think they both add dynamics to our offense that we don’t have. And I mentioned somewhere I am actually ok with McConkey if they plan to double dip at receiver. Whether he is just a slot or whatever I don’t really care, the bottom line is that he is going to be very good imo. I think the Ravens with Todd Monken coming from Georgia will draft Mitchell or McConkey. I think that’s McConkey’s floor. Bottom line is I think we are going to get a good player at 28, I think it just depends what flavor you want. Excluding the top 3, Brian Thomas is exactly what we need, but do we trade up that high? Mitchell and Franklin are the best fits for our offense out of the next group. Leggette and Coleman bring massive size we don’t have and McConkey would pair well with Josh.

I just don’t think you should trade a future 1 to get up for a guy who isn’t a QB. We’ve been down this road with Sammy Watkins and it just didn’t work. Julio Jones sticks out as a pretty much the only time it worked. I know we are in a different place, but I just think it is extremely risky. I am more ok with a huge trade up since we have that extra second rounder. But it has to be with a team who is punting on QB this year and wants the extra pick next year. Maybe that is Denver. We shall see.

Right up there with David Sills

I was a big Poz guy. Had just bought his jersey and he signed with Jacksonville like 6 months later. But Jim Kelly is probably the worst. His retirement sent us on the path of QB purgatory.

This was my concern as well. But I have been in clinics with Steve Skarsisian and I have to be honest, he is not impressive. He does not strike me as a guy who gets the most out of his players. When I looked at the flaws of the other guys Coleman 4.6 is a little scary, but his affinity for playing down south was a bit of a red flag. I like speed but I don’t love Worthy as a fit in our offense. Leggette is a monster, but I am always afraid of the one year wonders and he is a bit older than these other guys. For me it came down to Mitchell and Franklin and Mitchell is just bigger and faster so I think he is more likely to hit. JMO
