It might be possible to get 1 of Nabers/Odunze/BTJ and keep pick 60 for Legette/Franklin.  Legette would probably require a move up again into the top 45 I imagine

 

but we could absolutely move into the teens say 16  with 28, 128 & 2025 2nd

 

then you could move from 60 to get Legette by parting with our other 2025 2nd

 

so you come away with

 

16. Brian Thomas Jr.

40. Xavier Legette

 

Still have a 4th, other late picks.  Kept our 1st next year 

 

would certainly be a fun combo.  
 

Legette is a physical, very fast beast and plays taller than 6’1.  as seen above, can be elite against man and has insane breakaway speed in open field
 

Thomas is 6’3 with one of the biggest wingspans in the draft, a true deep threat with 4.3 speed and the 2nd lowest drop rate among top WR’s. 17 TD’s.  2nd highest contested catch rate among the top 3 rounds of WR’s

 

gives our WR room a serious speed and size uprade. Both of which are needed badly

 

& a bonus, from interviews they seem to be fairly humble guys

I don’t think 28 & 2025 2nd and 128 gets you up higher than pick 20.  Maybe high enough to get Thomas, but probably not enough to get Odunze.

What I don't get is we just traded a wide receiver who people called a Cancer and a diva

 

Yet they want Marvin Harrison Jr who is 100% a diva also ... Dude didn't even talk to the media at the combine

 

He's full of himself

I’ve been the conductor of the JT28, DK Metcalf and Breece Hall trains. I’m riding the Keon Coleman train this draft


Yeah I’m down with Coleman. The 4.6 is a little scary, but so many guys the board clamors for the last couple of are “slow guys.” Davante Adams, Deandre Hopkins, Tyler Boyd, Mike Evans, Cooper Kupp, Allen Robinson…with a guy his size I am not sure the long speed matters all the much. I still prefer Brian Thomas, and after that Mitchell is my guy, but Coleman to me is in that same tier and I’d be good with him.

He DOESN'T DROP PASSES. That's been ONE of Josh's problems, dropped passes

 

I know it, but Josh is also far more effective with separators than contested ball specialists. Coleman can be a good player and not be ideal for JA.

Keon Coleman doesn’t fit the explosiveness that Beane and Sean have been talking about

All of the scouts are saying he's explosive off the snap. The slants/crossers/screens

Gabe Davis wasn't a great separator. He got open but just dropped passes. Gabe ran a 4.54 by the way😎

Are you getting kickbacks from Coleman’s agent?  For as much as you like him, he is a major boom or bust prospect.  There are not many 4.6 40 guys with limited lateral agility making an impact as NFL WR.  Maybe he con buck that trend, but too risky for my blood.

agreed. If he makes it to pick 60, that

might be a different story depending what happens for us in the 1st. I have Zero interest in taking him in Round 1

Um, when has Josh ever had a contested ball catcher? EVER?

You gotta hope he's an Anquan Boldin type. Boldin could take over games with a great QB passing to him because he was smart and physical.
