You're right of course, we have such an excellent pass-rush full of young players who will be here a long time. Oh wait, we barely have enough halfway decent DTs and DEs to fill a room and most of them are old. At least we have options at LG and C in the event the guys expected to start there don't play well, right?

Yeah we don't need young players on the team, let's just not draft at all. This is awful

Hendrickson is demanding a trade, just sayin...

I would take Legette at 28, not McConkey.

We moved up to 7 to draft a franchise QB. I don't get the moving up to the top 6 to draft a WR when the hit rates are uncertain. I would stick and pick and then trade out of the 2nd to wind up with 2 3rds since you're getting the most value in this particular draft in that round.

I have Legette above both Mitchell and Thomas, who are simply part of tier 2.

There are 3 top receivers and then everyone else. Getting someone in the top 4 isn't worth a trade up if you're getting the 4th guy.

Shorter was on IR last year and hasn't given anyone reason to believe he can be a contributor, he was talking about Shakir. As far as "trying too hard", I dunno what else people would expect him to say about the WR room "we're screwed, I traded for a narcissist who whined his way off the team and now we are desperate to land a player in the draft. We will pay a premium for him. Oh please, please fleece us because we're desperate." Outside of the top 3 WRs in this draft you have Javon Baker and Legette that are true X receivers who look like they could develop into all-around players - you are likely looking at rd 2 for Legette and 3 for Baker, then you have a bunch of solid guys like Worthy, McConkey and Mitchell and a bunch of others who can play specific roles. We will pick up 1-2 of these guys and develop them. Dline may be the bigger target in the 1st because the talent is thin and drops off a cliff after the top 3-4 players.

What would we give then THIS YEAR that would prompt them to make that trade? Our 1st and 2nd followed by next year's 1st and 2nd? So we pick one guy and then don't pick again til the 4th rd in this draft?

Just looking at the teams behind us I could see the next 10 picks take him, especially the Ravens, so I'm going to advise you that mock draft sites are pretty much just video games only they don't have the benefit of actual information to base their metrics on. I don't see Legette touching the 2nd rd.

Nah, I'm not a betting man and I don't care too much either way. I think it'll be close. The main takeaway from my post was to say that I didn't think a rookie is going to come in and be our #1, not the way we play rookies. Could a Rookie end up with more yards than Cook? Sure. Will they end up with more targets? That depends on the rookie.

The Pass catching Depth chart will be Dalton Kincaid Shakir Curtis S James Cook Rookie Rookie Dawson Knox Unless there is a major trade up, which I don't expect. This is what we're going to run with this year.

I'd rather take Legette at 28, trade back in rd 2 and get Javon Baker in Rd 3.

I'd rather stay put and draft Legette

You're right. Just sucks to be eating 31M in cap for someone not even contributing to the team. But if he was starting to be more of a problem than an asset you have to get rid of him.

Diggs simply dropped below the line on the Vicky Mendoza diagonal.
