    So at this point with only #60, and next years pick, can we assume a player trade is unlikely? 
     

    Getting Aiyuk would be my preference if possible but idk what the capital could be. 

     

    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.

    At some point, you just have to get your guy before someone else does. I think they stand pat and take Franklin. 

    We'll see. But if I were a betting man, then I would put $$$ on Franklin being #33. 

     

    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.

    Do you have Franklin's? I have been hearing about how he's all vertical routes but I remember his tree being surprisingly versatile 

     

    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.

    They won't move again from #33 and the pick is going to be Troy Franklin. Write it down. Pretty sure he has been "their guy" throughout this entire process. They grabbed some extra picks along the way and moved back just enough where they feel comfortable. 

     

    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".

    all I know is he produced in Big games for Georgia and Texas. He’s a prototype 1 with 4.34 speed.


     

    Steve Smith has him as a Top 5 WR in the class and Cosell raved about him saying Top 10 NFL WR potential

    AD Mitchell’s route change ups and footwork looks extremely unpredictable and therefore difficult to defend

     

    …only 1 drop in 2023 and 

     

    I believe I saw he had the most plays where he was open for huge gains but not targeted

    Mitchell played in five College Football Playoff games over his career (Texas and Georgia) and scored a touchdown in all five of them

     

    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 😜

    And we're on to.. Aiyuk?

    Eh, salary cap is just a myth 😝.  Wouldn’t we only be on the hook for whatever the base is though at this point, which is currently $20M-$21M?  And that’s assuming they don’t restructure something too?  I could be totally wrong here though…

     

    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.

    And we're on to.. Aiyuk?

    If you could have Deebo for the 3rd we just picked up, or one of next year’s 2nds, would you do that?

     

    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.

    The Jaguars signed Davis to an overpriced contract, then drafted the fast version of him in the 1st round. I don't understand their strategy at all but I'm happy we are prevented from trading up for him.

     

    Now Green Bay just has to take DeJean and I can breathe easy when we're on the clock.

     

    Terrion Arnold is still on the board. I'd see us taking him before DeJean.
