Think he’s one of the better backs in this class. Really thought he hasn’t reached his full potential yet also. Low mileage. Just didn’t appear he needed to be taken at 53. So missing a bit of value in the pick. But he should be a very good back for us. And if he does turn out as a quality starter there is an extra little shove it in your face to the Giants for taking Barkley so early instead of the Darnold. We obviously went after Wentz as the priority. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hollywood can stake a claim if his foot gets right and he can stay healthy. But it’s a weak WR class helps Whiteside. I think he’s right there within reach. He’s big but it’s more than that. He’s a basketball guy that uses his body for position and leverage. Great at catching the ball in traffic and high pointing. Kind of tough to stop. And he showed enough speed to get behind guys. Great red zone WR potentially. Yeah bet he'd be tough on a slant route near the EZ to cover,so maybe thats what they wanted IDK 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We obviously went after Wentz as the priority. Yeah I feel the same. I kinda wanted Henderson later(just me) and thought we'd trade back for a 3rd pick.But they were pretty stedfast on staying at 53 and 57.Just weird with other guys still out there like Adderly and Allen.But like i said they should know more than I 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He can just stop in front of him, box him out and go up and get it. Not much anybody can do about that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cunninghamtheman 6,589 Report post Posted April 27, 2019 The offense is set. Our QB needs to stay healthy. So no fighting for an inch by flinging his body into it week 2. Otherwise we might be short a G is about it. Gotta score TDs though. And I like our redzone options. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joemas6 7,627 Report post Posted April 27, 2019 1 hour ago, cunninghamtheman said: Don’t know what the Jordan Hicks trade was? But it’s a great draft class. And we dipped in with all three feet on offense. I was very strong about BPA. But I don’t think that’s what happened on day two. Seems like they decided on RB and WR. Both are good players at their position. But they could have gone a very different route. Mostly they could have gone defense. Got some good bargains late in free agency for the defense(Curry and Jernigan). So maybe that helped tip the scale to the offense. Anyway we went all in on offense so...we better score some points. LOL... my bad Ham... I meant when we selected Hicks ... That was some great entertainment... nobody liked that pick at time ...lol 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BleedingGreen93 9,122 Report post Posted April 27, 2019 I’m really shocked by this draft....Can’t believe we have not hit DL with such a strong class.....That being said really like Miles thought he had the most upside in the draft at RB....The WRheard a ton of praise about but never looked into him so hoping he is a beast 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not mad with the draft thought for sure WR was strong where we were drafting and again though I never looked at the guy I have heard a ton about him high praise.....Miles again think had most upside and think having atleast 1 year with Howard could really help up his game along with Duce as his coach i believe our FO is staying true to there board even if fans aren’t happy with it 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjkline1958 6,089 Report post Posted April 27, 2019 The one word to describe this draft is "unexpected". None of us expected Dillard of Sanders to drop to us, esp Dillard at 22! Yeah it cost us a few picks with low percentages of becoming starters according to draftniks. Then a WR none of us had and most had to look up. Knee jerk reaction here was that with all the WR's on the board at the time, we could have traded back and still gotten him and another pick. Yesterday I posted the talking heads results with DJ and McShay getting 9 picks correct in the 1st rd, Kipers' hair with 7. Came to the realization our FO seemingly was hitting a lot better than them! Could no longer argue for them taking the WR they felt was highest on their board. Sure, it ended the night of excitement for us fans, but the FO did their best to improve this team - good job! BTW - this isn't the last draft and it's a long time before the first snap of the football that counts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
