nonniey Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 15 hours ago, The Consigliere said: You don't take WR's that high, especially when you are working with multiple deep WR drafts, and that's what we have in '19-'20-'21. It's just not a sufficient return on the investment. Grab your QB, DT, Edge, OT, or shut down corner, sure, but it doesn't make sense to be taking a WR that high, especially in such a deep draft at the position, again. Lots of options at WR, plenty will be available in round 2 (if we acquire a 2nd) and in the 3rd as well as in 2021. Larry Fitzgerald? Calvin Johnson? Julio Jones? I get it though but if you have that kind of talent there and he is far better ranked than the other prospects I wouldn't lock myself into not taking him. In this draft you have Young and Jeudy then a large drop off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there are plenty of other holes on the roster, a stud #1 receiver that keeps defenses from doubling Terry M is an appealing prospect. In the Olden Days, the trio of Monk (#1), Clark (#1) and Sanders (#2) presented opponents with a largely unsolvable problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure Jeudy is that far ahead of some of his WR peers, especially when you factor in his thin frame, which leads to injury concerns. If we don’t get Young or a trade down, I’d be fine picking Thomas or Okudah and getting a WR later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Young isnt the pick, trade back. If we cant trade back, I'd be fine with LT or CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it though but if you have that kind of talent there and he is far better ranked than the other prospects I wouldn't lock myself into not taking him. In this draft you have Young and Jeudy then a large drop off. You think Jerry Jeudy is Fitz? Johnson or Jones? Three of the best four or five WR's of the past 25 years or so? That strikes me as absurd. It's not that I think he sucks. I don't. I think he should develop into a top 10-20 WR if everything goes right for his generation of prospects. But when you can get a Chris Godwin, or a DJ Moore outside of the top 80 and top 20 of their respective drafts, and you can, why on earth are you using top 5 draft capital on a WR? I ignored Mike Williams (who I liked well enough), and John Ross, and Corey Davis and went hard after cheaper guys like Godwin and DJ Moore in my drafts. Sometimes the analytics doesn't help (McClaurin and the target problem), but generally it does quite a bit, and you can consistently get great value at WR outside of the top 20 in nearly every draft, just take your guy before round 5, because the hit rate after that drops dramatically (after round 4). Your probably gonna get a very nice starting WR in Jeudy. But this draft like last years is quite deep at WR. Why pull the trigger so early? Take a look at some of the WR's my go to people unearthed the past three drafts pre-combine and after-combine (just going by my fav guy Matt Kelley's evals): 2017: Godwin (84th-My personal favorite) Juju (62nd) Golladay (96th) Samuel (40th) 2018: DJ Moore (24th: My person favorite) Sutton (40th) C. Kirk (47th) A. Miller (51st) DJ Chark (61st: I missed on him badly, but traded for him this past offseason/September before the breakout) Gallup (81st) 2019: M. Brown (25th-I was not a fan) N. Harry (32nd) D. Samuel (36th) AJ Brown (51st-My personal favorite) MeCole Hardman (56th) Andy Isabella (62nd-another personal fav) DK Metcalf (65th-very skeptical of his route tree and injury history but he had top 20 talent if he could learn the position and stay healthy) Diontae Johnson (66th) Terry McLaurin (76th-Steal and a pick I absolutely hated) Darius Clayton (171st) When you peruse that list, why would you ever take a WR top 5? It's virtually impossible to find elite QB's, DT's and edge rushers outside the top of the draft. Pretty hard to find corners though you can sometimes. Finding elite OT's that late is also nearly impossible though the hit rate for startable if not elite offensive lineman is surprisingly high throughout day 2 and early day 3. To my mind, a deep WR draft, again, we should use our early draft capital for the things that cost a fortune typically in terms of FA money or draft capital cost to get that nice discount at an expensive position: DL/EDGE/OL/QB/Shut Down corner. Go after a WR w/the pick you get for Trent Williams or w/the early 3rd rounder. Potential WR prospects include the aforementioned Jeudy AND: Lamb Ruggs Reagor Higgins Shenault (whose stock has tanked) Wallace Edwards Tyler Johnson T. Terry D. Smith Pittman Collin Johnson There's just a ton of guys this year and next. I don't see the point in forcing the pick w/such depth at the position and w/such an excellent track record in recent years in that 20ish-90ish area in the draft. You get a talented player on a cheaper deal, carrying less risk. Recent early 1st round WR's have had a checkered past: '17: Corey Davis: Breaking My heart. Mike Williams: Weirdest player ever. Super inefficient. John Ross: Injury issues from college plague him in the pros now as well. '16 Apocalypse: Coleman: Bust Fuller: Hit when he's healthy, he's never healthy. Treadwell: Bust Doctson: Bust '15: Amari Cooper-Hit K. White: Ultrabust Dev Parker: Disaster B. Perriman: Megabust Agholor: Bust Dorsett: Bust Devin Smith: Bust DGB: Bust Devin Funchess: Bust Happily the '18 and '19 WR classes were much better at the top than the '15, '16 and '17 classes, but still, the recent track record is damn ugly w/teams using big time draft equity on WR's early. 15 hours ago, Kelvin Bryant said: While there are plenty of other holes on the roster, a stud #1 receiver that keeps defenses from doubling Terry M is an appealing prospect. In the Olden Days, the trio of Monk (#1), Clark (#1) and Sanders (#2) presented opponents with a largely unsolvable problem. Worth noting the draft capital spent on 2 of those three was virtually nothing and Monk while a first rounder was taken in the mid-1st if memory serves further bolstering my claim that WR's can be had on day 2 at much less cost in terms of draft capital, and little to no difference in the bust rate risk.

Skins are getting a lot of film on their young WRs. Hopefully a new GM can get a good read on what each of them can do and which ones are in the "just a guy" category. Most rookie WRs are not expected to produce much in year 1 so the existing WR core is likely to have to carry the Skins another year if they don't pick up an immediate star. A good TE would help everyone out but the Skins may have to fill that need in free agency and their free agent track record is atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But SOS is always tiebreaker #1 after record, worst SOS gets the higher pick. The theory being that you had an equal record against a worse group of teams, so you must be worse than the team you're competing with for the pick.

Mike Evans, Julio Jones, Larry Fitzgerald, DeAndre Hopkins, AJ Green... Those are elite players that change the game. The DJ Moore's of the league can be found in the 3rd round ( like McLaurin), but they rarely take over a game like the elite guys do.
