RD 7 - Austin Proehl WR NC

Recommended Posts

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.

The talking heads pretty much said they'd be shocked if he didn't make our practice squad, maybe even the 53.

He was robbed of an ascendant senior year.

Yep just like Antonio Brown

Yep just like the majority of 7th rd draft picks. People always point out the exceptions to the rule. For every Antonio Brown there’s 100 7th rd draft picks that didn’t make it. It’s not even fair to compare this kid to Antonio Brown. Sit down and relax, guy

You can relax too.    Proehl was pretty solid with Trubisky.       Can find holes in the zone and get open just like his dad did.

That’s great. If he’s even half as good as his father was then he’ll be a great player. All I’m saying is pump the breaks a little bit. 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.

So if you’re white, you automatically are an over achiever if you make it in the NFL at a skill position. Like all white pass rushers are high motor, lunch pale type... not real talent. Do you consider black scientists as over achievers in thinking capacity? I’m just wondering where we draw the line here. 

I was joking. Trying to be ironic, i must have failed. ?

It earned garbage status when they overpaid for a QB who was a sub 60 Passer against typically inferior competition.

Nathan Peterman had a 61% completion percentage against ACC elite level talent.   I guess that means he's awesome right?

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. If there is anything we need, it’s good route runners!

Here is the new message board hero. The new Reilly. I do really like the pick. There is something to be said for bloodlines and maybe he becomes Welker-Amendola-insert overachieving white receiver. I'm excted! 

I don’t know, he’s got a lot of competition this year with Teller and Phillips.

...better yet, have you read the pundits yapping how we wasted a "7th round pick" on a guy destined to be UDFA?.........never realized the value of a 7th (COUGH)....
