Seeing this first and then scrolling up and seeing who posted just before you made me laugh.

Again though - that doesn't explain away the measurements coming in less than expected. And if the illness effected his shocking times in the 10 (DEAD last amongst all WR's at the combine) and the 40 (not slow, but NOWHERE near as expected) - then why did he choose to stick to those times at his Pro Day and not re-run? His Highlight Reel looks great. But beyond the YouTube clips, there's plenty of lowlights. He struggled against some Weak CB's who aren't NFL level prospects.

He had a TERRIBLE Combine, period. End of statement. He measured shorter in height than expected. He weighed in lighter in weight than expected (and he was already underweight). He ran the 10 and 40's WAAAYYY less than expected (and then he didn't re-run those times at his Pro Day, meaning they are just what they are). And the Gauntlet? Was perhaps the ugliest i've ever seen. DJ was calling him out for it on live television. His speed is a long gaining speed. He doesn't come off the line fast. All of these things don't necessarily mean he can't be good at the next level. But i'm not even remotely shocked he's still on the board in Round 3. The overhype train for him was rampant from the very beginning.

DE Adisa Isaac or DT Dewayne Carter seem more likely to me in a trade up here than another WR, honestly.

I'd bet even if we did double up at WR, they'd go Roman Wilson or Devontez Walker over Troy Franklin.

We're approaching him falling to Round 3. I've been saying posters have been overhyping him all offseason and the way this is playing out is proving it.

WR: Troy Franklin, Roman Wilson DT: Michael Hall S: Javon Bullard CB: TJ Tampa RB: Trey Benson DE: Adisa Isaac, Chris Braswell, Marshawn Kneeland

Aiyuk or Samuel would have to be later for picks next year. We have to be able to take on their contract as is for the trade to be approved by the league. We don't have nearly enough money to do that at the current juncture.

Geesh - can we start taking players that aren't at positions of need for us, rest of the NFL? 6 DT's, 6 DB's, 2 WR's make up 14 of the 17 picks after 33

I'll say this and i'm sure a lot of people won't agree because he has a cult on this board - though i'd have preferred Mitchell or McConkey, I do prefer Coleman over Franklin. Coleman has Franklin beat in every category to me but speed.

He wasn't my first or second option on who was left at WR. I'd have preferred we traded down a few picks if that was our guy. That said, I didn't like Josh when we picked him either so hopefully he turns into a stud too. I'd have just preferred Mitchell or McConkey.

He may very well be the pick. But as for him always being "their guy" - he wasn't and isn't. "Their guy" to me implies someone that they love over others and had to have. It's clear with how they let WR needy teams have our picks to take WR's that they weren't worried which WR they took. I've been notoriously against McConkey. But that was in comparison to Thomas, Legette, and Worthy - who I felt we'd have a shot at. We did and we passed on them. At this point, i'd take McConkey over anyone but AD Mitchell. For who's left, I'd be disappointed if we went WR at 33 and it wasn't Mitchell or McConkey. If it's Franklin or Coleman, I'd prefer another move down and would only be fully on board if Mitchell and McConkey were off the board.

If he was truly "their guy" - they wouldn't have risked someone else taking him by trading out of 28 and 32. The fact that they moved down twice and allowed teams that needed WR's to come up and get their guys said to me that they viewed a lot of different WR's after the first 4 fairly evenly and didn't have a "guy".

Please stop frantically posting about Mitchell. Beane has passed on moving up for or selecting all the WR's you've obsessed over all offseason. I'd like us to take him, but I worry that if he gets wind you're on the Mitchell train this hard now - it won't happen 😜

Yes, his base is 20.9m. And restructure doesn't work. The cap isn't a myth. We have to be able to take the contract on as is first for the trade to be accepted by the league and then once we do that, we can re-structure. We can't take it on as is.

The problem with Deebo is he's a 28+m hit this season. That's even more than Aiyuk.

I'm still upset with losing out on both Xavier's in the trade downs. Those were my guys outside of Harrison, Nabers, Odunze, and BTJ. That said, the 6th for 5th swap to go from 32 to 33 was a difference of *59* picks. It's much better value than it seemed at first. AD Mitchell and Ladd McConkey still available. As are Cooper Dejean and Johnny Newton. All would have been good picks at 28. And now we have our 3rd back, will have 3 picks tomorrow instead of 1, and could move all over on Day 2 and 3. As painful as it was to not land one of my favorite Top 6 WR's and walk away with nothing, I'm coming around to the plan. Or coping. One or the other.

Where do you see Metcalf or JJ in that tweet? Where do you see Metcalf or JJ being traded other than fan fiction?

Okay. Now i'm PISSED. I was fine with all of this because I figured we'd be able to get Legette tomorrow. We traded Xavier Worthy to Kansas City and Xavier Legette to Carolina. Gave them to them. Those were my WR 5 & 6.

A 6th for a 5th just to take the same player tomorrow night. My dude's just trolling us now. We already had 3 5th Round Picks lol

I wouldn't assume just because we let KC take a WR that means we're out on WR's in Round 1.

They must have told us the WR they wanted and it wasn't our guy.

Huge Iowa and Green Bay fan. Loved Cooper.

Damn, Green Bay not taking Cooper... he'll probably be there for us and it's going to be hard to pass on.
