Agreed. You take a flyer on him as a project from round 2 or 3
[Reply]

Agreed. I'd be fine with him at 62. Any earlier than that though and I'd probably be kind of irritated. He could turn into a superstar, but I just do not see it.
[Reply]

I'd be LOTS of irritated.

The more I've read about him, the more he's just a track-star playing football. We've seen dozens of those guys come and go.

Just hard pass. I'm not even sure I'd be happy with him at 62 - I'm virtually certain there are guys I'd like more (like, for instance, Calvin Austin III).

Just being tall don't make you a football player.
[Reply]

No, no, no, no, no. No, man.

Have you actually watched any video on him? Watch, man. This ain't Willie Gault. This kid's a football player.

Now, he's going to be rawer than an SEC powerhouse kid would be, but this is not a track star in pads.

I'd love him at #50.

Now that we have 2 firsts are you more inclined to spend one of them on Williams DJ?

No thanks

Jeremiah updated his mock after the Hill trade - has us taking Ebiketie and Watson
[Reply]

So you wanna see a pissed off me?

Because THAT'S how you get a pissed off me.

Lord that would be garbage. I mean just unmitigated trash born of nothing but underwear olympics. Neither of those guys are first round picks in ANY year, let along a draft this deep.

He has Ojabo falling out of the first from what I can tell. Ojabo over Ebiketie is a no-brainer and even Ebiketie stans like Staylor would acknowledge that.

And I mean anytime you can take the 7th best WR prospect in a draft with a pretty mediocre top end but a SUPER deep middle, you really should just do that in the first round.
[Reply]

The mock with Watson is why we need to trade up to get one of the top 5 wrs if we have to. London, Garrett Wilson, olave, burks and jameson are in another tier from the rest of the wrs. As soon as the 4th in group is gone, we should should trade up to get whoever is the 5th in that group. I hope it’s jameson!
[Reply]

I do think there's a massive drop off after the top 6. If we want someone who we know is an immediate upgrade from what we currently have, it's one of those. Everything after is a complete gamble imo and you'd have to double dip to and play the numbers game
[Reply]

Seems like a soundly bad strategy. Hitting on a WR in round 1 is no guarantee, for starters, and hitting on after the 1st is nearly as high of a probability. Many very good receivers have come at the top of the 2nd too, so standing pat is definitely a solid option.

Let's do a case study of some recent drafts. You're going to see a trend when you look beyond the 2021 draft (its an enigma and too soon)

2021 Draft (early but do it anyhow)


2020 Draft:


2019 Draft


2018 Draft

[Reply]

Wow. That’s really good research. thanks 🙏 That info makes me want to trade up for jameson! What percentage of athletic bama wrs bust?


[Reply]

You saw all of that and then ended up wanting to trade up for a WR? The fuck?
[Reply]

Yes, if you look at the bama wrs that are athletic and had production; like waddle, Devonta smith, jeudy and Ridley, they’ve all done very well. Jeudy is the only one with average numbers (still pretty good) and he’s been hurt and had poor qb play. Jeudy probably blows up with Wilson. Bama wrs have a good track record in league and the percentage of busts for bama wrs is extremely low. Bama prepares their wrs well. Combine the bama background of success with Jameson’s tape and yes, if the four other top wrs are gone by 20, London, garret, olave and burks, move up 9 spots to get jameson. Looking at the track record of picks from what kccrow posted, that history of average play or busts is scary. Jameson is a high floor AND high ceiling prospect in this offense with mahomes.
[Reply]

There are guys that will go in the first due to a higher floor, and there will be guys that will go in the 2nd and possibly into the 3rd and 4th that will become much better NFL players due to higher ceilings.

Watson is a guy I like better than some of the 'top' guys because his ceiling is 'generational talent'. His floor is '4th WR, special teams guy.' So I get taking a kid like Olave over him, though I think there's a 50/50 chance you'd regret it in a couple years.

But when people are throwing names around like David Bell, I wonder what they're seeing, or basing their rankings on.
