Simon Says Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 These "trade down" scenarios are iffy. How far down do you trade? How can you know for sure he will be there? You can't predict what other teams will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like big, tall, physical guys who can catch any ball that is anywhere near their huge wingspan, despite being well covered. But we need a speed burner threat! Tyreek Hill is 5' 10" ....and called the 'Cheetah' for his speed. He hurt us with his speed in the Championship game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Drafting a WR with our first pick is not how I'd want the draft to go. CB, edge rusher, or oline, pease. WR is one of our strongest positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR is one of our strongest positions. Sanders and Mckenzie are on 1 year deals. Cole is getting up there in age and if he starts to show it this season could be a cut candidate next year. We are in good shape for this season and don't need to go out of our way to grab a WR. But if the value is their we shouldn't hesitate to take one. It could end up being a major need a year from now.

BobbyC81 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 15 hours ago, Bangarang said: Why does it matter where the speed comes from? Just get a playmaker who makes things hard for opposing defenses. A WR isn’t a wasted pick when 2 of your top 4 WRs are in their 30’s. Sanders is only here for 1 year and Beasley isn’t getting any younger. Other than Benjamin Button, nobody gets younger.

DJB Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Unless we plan on scheming the ball to him, I don't think we should be drafting a guy in the 2nd round to be a decoy. Big pass. I like about 10 more WR's in the class than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't predict what other teams will do. You don’t trade down to get player X. You trade up to get player X. Trading down is because there is no player you must have, so the added value in later picks is worth more to you than the players available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 I would be on board with Rondale (or a few other WRs) at 30. Certainly a risk with his injury history but he’s very talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
without a drought Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Only one good season, his injury history and only being 5' 7" might make this a questionable choice. Being fast, jumping high and doing squats doesn't change anything listed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 This tiny man has produced little in the past 2 years and has had one solid year of college football (3 years ago). Trading down to get him is a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finished 14th out of 32. We were just used to top 5 defenses in the past, but then again our offense was horrible for years. We need defensive line talent, maybe a CB although I have high hopes for DJ, RB maybe, and TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
