And even Green Bay has managed to draft a WR this year. Do we need a WR? I can argue a RB or TE but it wasn't their, we did what we needed to do.

Beane said Brown will be a swing tackle. I am sure he is the RT of the future. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s frustrating!! Our starters are already here. Everyone is pissed about other teams filling their squads as "starters" with unproven rookies for their holes. We will properly develop our guys and make them starters when it's warranted. I get it, been a super long time since the early 90's, we are doing fine.

On paper it looks great but take Diggs out of the game and we look weak. Admittedly, Beasley was playing with an injury at the end of last year so hopefulluy he'll be returning fit and firing. Our running game can easily be exposed, though - think I would have preferred taking Carter or Gainwell in the third though, as I said, as an individual player I do like the idea of Brown.

I appreciate the attempt at being reasonable, but cmon, if any team loses their WR1 (or any of their key players) they take a steep loss. A rookie, third down, pass catching back that has been passed over by 32 teams on multiple occasions thus far is not going to replace Stefon Diggs. Arguably not a single player in this draft could replace Stefon Diggs in their rookie year. Edited May 1, 2021 by Vertig0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really had nothing except St Juste (already gone) between kind of early third and mid 4th at corner. There are half a dozen guys I'd be interested in if any of them make it to our next pick, the risk is it hollows out again before then.

I can make an argument for multiple receivers in the last 4 picks. It is the deepest position through day 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably not a single player in this draft could replace Stefon Diggs in his rookie year. Not so concerned about WR, more a RB. It's not so much missing Diggs but having a variation - our run game was very poor last year. Maybe we'll look to bring someone in in a trade with a bit more experience. I know it is early in terms of completing the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
