I am a bit amused the Cardinals took Love. They don't have a quarterback and their line is suspect.
I can see him suffering through an Jeanty type first season in the NFL where he shows flashes but doesn't get much help.
yeah, it's fun to go back and look at what people said including yourself.
In 2024 I really wanted the Commanders to give up the 2025 #1 pick and move back into Round 1 and take Jared Verse.
As it turned out that would have been a great move for an EDGE that is outstanding.
At the same time...
It is questionable whether Tate is the best receiver available in the draft, although he is a safe choice that looks to be very productive.
Lemon, Tyson, Boston or other may be better down the road. But if a team that is a WR away from having a good offense to help a young quarterback you took...
It's not hard to be an upgrade on McCaffrey and Lane at WR. On the field neither player has done a damn thing at receiver.
Both are good special teams guys but you have to have receivers that can actually catch the football and make plays on OFFENSE too.
Burks is a case of adding talent with upside at reasonable cost. Ditto with Drake Jackson, who was a #2 pick in 2022, and showed well before he got hurt and missed time.
These guys are minimum level salaries and any pop we get from them is not only welcome but perhaps a cause to resign them...
But at that point of the draft we have draft 'dilution', ie the talent base gets thinner and thinner and the players have significantly less chance to coming in and making it in the NFL.
The sweet spot of the draft is Rounds 2 and 3 because there are legitimate talents there that projected to...
If I am the GM I put no focus on drafting or trading for players because they played with the QB in college.
Brady, Manning, Mahomes - none of these guys ended up playing big seasons with guys they went to college with.
I think people are overestimating what Daniels may think is 'cool to...
True, but I saw greater value in some of the players that went after Mauigoa. #10 overall to me is still the territory you are looking at a guy that can play LT in the NFL or you go to another position.
Once again Roseman played the chessboard the right way - he needed a WR and got Lemon who...
Allegretti starting is concerning to me. He has never been able to nail down a starting job in the NFL and he is 28/29 years old.
After playing in the Super Bowl with KC the Chiefs had no problem letting him walk in free agency, they never offered him a contract.
So, my tummy isn't warm that...
Perhaps Magee is in the same position as Ben Sinnott, a guy with great physical skills, that just doesn't translate to the field?
Taking Okonkwo to me is the signal Sinnott's time here is limited.
One thing that both Sinnott and Magee have in common is that they were always more 'future' than...
I don't know about the former but I saw where the draftniks were indicating that the OL the Giants took is a guard not a tackle and that's not a value pick IMO at that point of the draft.
I think Reese was drafted by Harbaugh to play EDGE as he is a bit stronger than his size profile indicates.
If you are a guy that the front office projects to being a 10 sack guy in the NFL that is going to take first place ahead of an inside linebacker.
Inside linebacker is not a premium...
Again, IMO there will be a WR between #71 and the end of Round 7 that comes in and contributes in 2026.
I don't know which guy it will be but every year you see a guy taken in Round 5 or 6 that comes in and surprises people by being a bit quicker on the field than he showed in the Combine 40 or...
Giants, Dallas and Philly have all done well in the draft so far.
Of all the picks made in Round 1 of the NFC East I think Styles is the most feast or famine candidate.
Most of the other picks seem to me like more of a sure thing in terms of coming in and contributing right away.
But he...
That's what the front office is being paid for.
I guarantee you in Day 2 or 3 there will be a starting NFL wide receiver taken between #71 and the end of Round 7.
Let's find him :eclipsee-victoria:
Just because McCaffrey and Lane as #3 and #4 picks came in and so far aren't ready to contribute at WR doesn't mean that Washington should tap out on trying to upgrade the position IF a good candidate is still available at #71.
We made a couple of mistakes with these players - McCaffrey was not...
In isolation I have no issue with taking a center at #71 if he's the best center prospect.
At the same time I will be a bit annoyed at Peters and Quinn over the cutting of Biadasz.
We went through the 2025 draft and free agency period and REFUSED to utilize resources on an EDGE of any real...
No, I am resigned now to the fact we are going to sign a geezer after the draft to play WR for one season.
Then in 2027 you are going to see a complete redo of the wide receiver room with the likely departure of Terry McLaurin and the need to take a receiver with the #1 pick.
Then we will...
