HappyDays Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 This has to be the year we draft offense in the 1st round. Ideally a big WR with good hands. In our draft spot Tee Higgins or Justin Jefferson would be my pick. But DE is another big need so I wouldn't be upset if they drafted one first. If we wait until day 2 for a WR, I'd take Davonta Smith out of Alabama. Reminds me of Robert Woods and would be a good complement to John Brown. I can't imagine us taking anything other than a WR or DE with our 1st pick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I agree as would love to add Hunter Henry and Geronimo Allison in UFA and draft Michael Pittman Jr in Round 2 and Salvon Ahmed in Round 4 of the draft.

njbuff Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 If all else fails, here is a guy who is going to skyrocket up the charts and would be a great get at 22. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 We need a guy with size who can do stuff after the catch Mr Schenault of Colorado come on down! As we can get an edge rusher and lb in free agency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 4 hours ago, wppete said: UPDATE: Philly lost and we end up with #22nd pick in the 2020 Draft. If Philadelphia beats Seattle today we will end up with the 21st pick in this years draft. If Philadelphia loses we end up with the 22nd pick. I think a legit WR can be had at with 21 or 22. The two guys that could be there for us would be: Laviska Shenault, WR - Colorado 6’2, 225 - 4.4 40 yard Tee Higgins, WR Clemson 6’4, 215 What you guys think? Anyone else you think that would be a good choice at the spot? Tee Higgins need more muscle and Shenault reminds me of Sammy Watkins. Injuries and all.

Although, they did give up the second highest point total on WC Weekend. (This is sarcasm and I might break my tv if they go defense Rd 1) Going for a DE or OLB in the first round is not a bad idea. Lorezo Alexander is gone, Jerry Hughes is 31, Trent Murphy is not dependable, and there is no guarantee that we re-sign Shaq Lawson. The WR class is deep this year, and we can get one in the 2nd round. If Yetur Gross-Matos is there when we pick, could you really pass on him? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer a veteran like AJ Green. But if you don't think they need to improve the pass rush you then you didn't watch any of the games this weekend.

John from Riverside Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 If Laviska Shenault is on the board at 22 I am running that name up to the commissioner..... This is Duke WIlliams with speed and versitility 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we went from #2 in scoring, to 16th, we probably go 6-10 this year given how awful our offense is. The defense needs to be elite to carry our inept offense. Sorry sir but you are looking at this through the long end of the lense The D is STILL going to be good next year because we have invested so many resources into it and the HC is so defensive orientated. The reason why we lost that wild card game is the same reason we won lost 6 other games last season before it.....we dont put enough points on the board when the D finds its few opportunities to screw up. It is time to invest in this offense in a big way ESPECIALLY because this is such a good WR draft....give me Laviska Shenault, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how free agency and the draft falls, but it would be hard to pass Yetur if we still have edge as a need. Out of curiosity since I haven't looked at the draft much yet - who are the WRs in RD2 we should be targeting if we don't grab one in RD1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collin Johnson, Texas Brandon Aiyuk, Arizona State Michael Pittman, USC Chase Claypool, Notre Dame A sleeper pick that I am looking at for day 3 is, James Proche from Southern Methodist. From what I have read and seen, he's a reliable receiver with great hands and good speed. He's 6'0" and might be more of a slot guy, but I think he could be a steal. He'll be at the East-West Shrine game, so keep an eye out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dkollidas Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 9 hours ago, Bandito said: Right now Higgins isn’t a top 5 WR in the draft ??? Seriously? Look around. He’s projected by most as the #4 or at worst #5 receiver after Jeudy/Lamb/Ruggs III, and in a close battle with Shenault for the #4 spot. I think there’s a drop after Jeudy/Lamb, and then another drop after Ruggs III/Higgins/Shenault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to be a top 5 scoring D for us to continue contending for the playoffs. This is an amazing draft class for receivers. There will be incredible value available in the 3rd and 4th rounds.

So.....what usually happens here is we get to those 3rd and 4th rounds and there ends up being some other "better player on the board" We need to STOP DOING THAT......address the need with a good player...dont trade up.....but pick where the draft is strong at our pick in a position of need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He ran a 4.75 40-yard dash as a high school recruit and while he's likely gotten faster since then, he'll probably be a 4.6-guy when the combine and pro day circuit arrives. "Higgins' best asset as a receiver is his exceptional catch radius and leaping ability.“ https://www.si.com/college/clemson/football/tee-higgins-2020-nfl-draft-scouting-report-WVO6hiVP-0K-kAOlsN4TYA If he's a 4.6 guy, he'll likely be there in round 2. College guys often look faster than they actually are because the competition is worse. 4.6 at the WR position gets exposed in the NFL - i.e., Mike Williams, the USC receiver. A guy like Alshon Jeffrey ran a 4.48, and he was a second rounder. Higgins at 4.6 is probably comparable to a poor man's Jeffery, but that's not say he can't be an impactful player. By way of comparison, another big Clemson receiver - Mike Williams - ran a 4.49 and was an early first rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Ripster Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) I like Jeudy, Ruggs, Lamb, Higgins and Jefferson ... Laviska and Reagor are decent options also. BUT... I think if there is an early run on WR's they should draft BPA, which could end up being the number 1 or 2 RB in the draft instead of like the 6th or 7th best WR. Gore looked burnt at the end of the season, tbh. I mean there's like 7 WR's expected to go in the first round, they can't all be THE GUY, ya know? This year the WR and RB positions are really deep so it will be interesting to see what we do in rounds 1, 2 and 3. In a perfect world, we snag 2 of those WR's somehow and grab AJ Dillon or Cam Akers in the 3rd. Fix our OL and pass rush in FA. Also, hey everybody I'm new here! Thanks for keeping the football fire burning for me boys. I hope to engage and contribute to many interesting conversations! Much love. - The Ripster Edited January 7, 2020 by The_Ripster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
