Its almost like a FU to the Media/Experts and Fans.

I think he’s trying to submarine McDermott so he can replace him next year😬 Can’t pick heavy offense with McClappy in the room.

I agree. If he doesn't have a trade lined up, then his WR evaluation ability flat sucks beyond round 1.

Expand  

 

After the Diggs trade, Beane's quote was "We'll look in the Draft and in Free Agency, and maybe 1 from each"

 

He did NOT say "It's a great draft to need a WR so we might take a couple".

 

He told everyone exactly what the plan was, and people didnt listen/didnt believe him because they were too busy in their armchair GM fantasy and falling in love with highlight reels.

 

We'll add another before camp starts.

He either has a trade set up post 6/1 or he has an incorrect evaluation of where his WR room currently is.

Expand  

Or maybe he thinks Coleman and Samuel can just step in and replace Diggs/Davis? 

I was convinced he'd double dip wrs in the first 4 rounds.

I actually don't mind that. Grable had a really good week at the Shrine Bowl. I never got back around to his tape, but I spoke to a guy who was there that week and picked him out. He is their type as well, high RAS, athletic but raw. If I am correct I believe he is a converted tight end. Hope they can sneak him onto the 53 because I think he would get stolen off the PS. 

Expand  

Yea I’m not sure the numbers game will be in his favor for the 53. Was a QB and then a tight end. Has good tools to develop if we can hang onto him

[Turk71]

Rice avg 17.6 yds and scored 12 tds last year, #1 target for the #1 pick in the draft....he's also Jerry Rice's kid and nobody wants him?

Not even worth a 6th round pick?

Puzzling

Is Beane for some reason intentionally not drafting WR's that are there?

Expand  

yes, because getting WRs late on day 3 likely isn't perceived as being very high value. The difference between them and UDFAs is probably marginal. We're int he range of getting special teams contributors and priority UDFA targets here.

Oh he was a former tight end, oh he must be the second coming of Peters.

Expand  

 

So youre saying he could convert to WR?!?!?

[MarlinTheMagician]

I hope one of these next few picks before us is Flourney.  Beane is screwing us, and its a point of principal now.

Last pick - K or P?  You know Bass is sweating this out now.

It also appears he has experience at both left and right tackle, as well as right guard.

I really like RVD but the problem your going to run into with him is he only is a Left Tackle. If you keep Van Pran which is expected, and he is only a Center, than you have two backup lineman with no flex. If Grable can show he can work both Tackle spots that could honestly push RVD out of a job or a trade candidate.

I thought the same thing about David Sills V when he put up 33 TDs and 1800 yards in 2 years for WV and I was really wrong about him. Maybe this is a similar deal.

[gonzo1105]

Oh ***** you Rams. I had Karty to them at 196 that would have broken my latest pick record.

Always take the Raiders, pitch it to Bo, then zig-zag your way to a TD. Why doesnt Beane know this?

Anything that stops them from paying 3 million  a year to guys like Matekevich and Neal
