Just a waste of a pick, which at the second to last who really cares, but I just don’t get the thinking in the second half of this draft. That's because it's not like you envisioned. It's Beane and McDermott's vision and we don't have the blueprints. You just gotta believe. Edited April 28, 2018 by Buffalo30 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unreal that every year people are bitter about 3rd day draft choices, as if ANY of them are guaranteed successes. Hey I’m not complaining about it. Yes there are exceptions to the rule. I’m just saying people tend to overvalue our own players. This guy might end up being a very good player and I hope he does obviously. But at the end of the day he was the 70th rated WR in the draft and there’s the possibility he doesn’t even make the team. I’m not bitter at all I think we had a great draft. Beane didn’t reach for need, he drafted the best player in his board. I give our draft an A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Watched a lot of UNC football last couple years. Switzer was the go to guy for Trubisky in 2016 but Proehl made some real clutch catches as well. His yd/rec was actually higher than Switzer that year. Last year his ave was 16 yds/catch - came back from what was thought for sure to be season ending injury (broken clavicle) to play last two games 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdotson Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Absolutely love this pick. Big time value for the next-to-last pick of the draft. I would almost bet my mortgage he makes the roster and contributes, and significantly so by year 2. I don't know who some clowns on the boards would prefer to see us get in the late 7th.

He was the 2nd to last pick of the draft for a reason. I hope he does turn out to be the next great 7th rd WR. Stevie Johnson was also a 7th rd pick and he had a very productive career. But to sit here and think that he’s going to be that good is just crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Beane says he’s known him since he was 8. Part of me thinks this is a “throwing a bone to my buddy” pick and part of me thinks he knows everything about Austin there is to know, and thinks he has potential.
