thunderingsquid Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I think Bernard is our new Mahomes/Jackson/mobile qb spy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Starting to really warm to this draft haul. And as much as some here have bemoaned not getting Josh enough help, we have a ton of interesting offensive chess pieces with Crowder, Howard, McKenzie, Cook and Shakir. I really think Shakir has a great chance of becoming an elite slot guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelius Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Great review. I don't get the desire to want to cut Crowder however. I think he's going to be great here. A target machine that runs great routes that could easily replicate pre-broken/old Beasley. Not a bad guy for Shakir to learn from. I love the Shakir pick but I can't find any reasoning whatsoever for his fall to the 5th. Everybody loves it! So why did he fall? Just misfortune for him and dumb luck for us? You can't find a negative word about the pick if you tried and some had him mocked in the late 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when they took a developmental corner in round 6 he met their arm length threshold. That is THREE times that they have gone to the well for late round corners - Jackson, Wildgoose, Benford. They all meet the standard. The UDFA they brought in from Tulsa - 32.75 inch arms. If the regime won't even take a shot on a day 3 guy or an UDFA unless he meets that standard no way are they spending a 1st on one that doesn't. Was never going to happen. And it won't next year. Or the year after. Or the year after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were out of second round grades by the time they came to pick. Hence the double trade down for less than full value. I am all but certain a bunch of their 2nd round grades were receivers. Which of Watson, Pierce, Robinson, Skyy that was (possibly all of them) I don't know. But it is certainly possible he was on the list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane said in an interview that when their pick came up in the second, there were several guys they liked there, so they traded down. None of them were picked, so they traded down again, and that time, one of them was picked, so he decided not to trade down again. Between 60 and 63, Cam Taylor-Britt, Drake Jackson, and Bryan Cook were selected. One of those three was one of “their guys”. Personally, I think it was Cook.

I guess the question is did he have 2nd or 3rd round grades on these guys... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
