Again, anyone we're taking here has a Year 1 ceiling as either playing Justin Shorter off the roster or more likely being this year's Justin Shorter as a Red Shirt Rookie. I don't understand your urgency to fill the last WR roster spot with a Late Day 3 Pick.

I mean, if Spencer Rattler wasn't taken until just now - I'm not surprised Milton is still available. I had Milton as a 6th Rounder before Rattler dropped.

Kaiir Elan switched to #5 earlier in the Offseason.

Said it once, I'll say it a million times - we've replaced one of Diggs or Davis with Coleman, replaced Harty with Samuel, and replaced Sherfield with Hollins. We still have Khalil Shakir and drafted Justin Shorter with a 5th last year that will probably be on the 53. Anyone we take on Day 3 isn't replacing Diggs or Davis. At most, they'd play Shorter off the bottom of the roster - essentially throwing last year's 5th into the fire. There's probably only one WR spot open, if we're keeping more than 5. And with what's left and who's left, a vet with our 6/1 money is going to provide MUCH more than a Day 3 Rookie in Year 1.

Chicago's 4th in 2025. Very solid return. Could be a high 4th.

Yeah, NFL Network covered it well. ESPN is fine for Day 1 and Day 2, but they're awful on Day 3.

And keeping with the theme of people trading into our picks for guys I like - Chicago takes the highest rated player left on my board 😂

It is a 4th next year

Hey! Picked up another 4th next year! Nice

Great pick! I forgot he was still on the board.

My guess is OT Christian Jones.

It really doesn't. We lost Diggs, Davis, Harty, and Sherfield. Coleman replaces Davis, Samuel replaces Harty, and Hollins replaces Sherfield. We also have Khalil Shakir and Justin Shorter, who we spent a 5th on last year. We probably only have one WR roster spot left on the 53. I don't see any of the WR's left being a given to make the roster. And I'd expect we're looking at a vet for that last real spot. The double down was never a given. Especially if we plan on bringing in another vet. We took a WR with our first pick. People are acting like we've completely ignored it.

*Much* later? Uh, no. Maybe we could have moved down a pick or two. But even that wasn't a guarantee. When it came to X's with Size that weren't a character question mark (ie Mitchell and Franklin), which is what we were obviously looking for - Coleman and Ja'Lynn Polk was all that was really left. If you think we could have gotten Coleman "much later" when Ja'Lynn Polk went at Pick 37 - you're just being obtuse because you don't like the pick.

He has his own website that has a bunch of Merch. I dig this design a lot and just ordered one. https://www.keoncoleman.com/

Carter was not remotely a reach. If we took him at 60, it would have been a little high. But after all 7 DT's I had rated above him went from Picks 35 to 54 - I thought we'd have to take him at 60 if we wanted him. Getting him at 95 was not only not a reach, it was damn lucky given how Round 2 went. If you didn't have Carter on your radar and think he was a reach where we got him - you didn't do enough work on DT or him. He was pretty consistently the guy coming off the board next after Michael Hall Jr. amongst the guys I trust.

Of course there are outliers. But they're generally the exception and not the rule. If you're taking a guy who's talented, but still on the board in Round 4 - they're generally the very definition of "Boom or Bust". If the league felt Troy Franklin had little to no potential of not working out, he'd have been taken by now. It's obvious that they do think he's far from a sure thing.

He wasn't ever going to be available in the Later Rounds. We were extremely lucky he was there at 95. Especially after how Round 2 went at DT.

And Troy Franklin is a sure thing to you? The entire NFL doesn't think so.

If those things are true, that's the kiss of death for Buffalo. And I have to believe it's true. I was much lower on him than most and felt he was over hyped. But even I had him going somewhere between Mid-2nd as a ceiling and Mid-3rd as the Floor. The interview portion is integral to our selections. This brass puts an extreme emphasis on being impressed by not only the tape, but who they are as a person, their desire to be great, and their work ethic. If Beane and McDermott are wowed, they'll reach for you. If they aren't impressed, they aren't taking you.

Dude, go to bed. The spam freakout is starting to get embarrassing. You'll feel better in the morning.

Yes, it was very solid. I'll admit that I preferred different players at WR and S when we picked. But they were prospects worth taking when we took them and if they think they're the best fits - I trust their choices over my own. Carter was my most often selected DT in simulators. I thought we had no shot at him in Round 3 after how Round 2 went. A real coup to get him where we got him without having to trade up.

You're straight up unraveling. If only people told you that your expectations were ridiculous when it came to the Draft.

Stop with Jefferson. Justin Jefferson isn't available. They moved on from Kirk Cousins because they wanted to be able to pay Jefferson when the time comes. Jefferson talked excitedly about different Rookie QB's he wanted to play with during the offseason. He was one of the first people to reach out to J.J. McCarthy - https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jim-harbaugh-justin-jefferson-welcome-j-j-mccarthy-to-vikings-he-had-his-heart-set-on-minnesota/ As always, with guys like Tee Higgins and Brandon Aiyuk/Deebo Samuel as legitimate possibilities - you have to focus on ludicrous fantasy.
