Coming from a football family means the most to me when it comes to Metcalf. He has the pedigree and it shouldn’t be forgotten. I still worry about his injury issues. His lack of production. His lack of any sort of route tree.

Was last years Penn St RB named Thomas? I must have missed that

Yup. That’s why I’d take these 2 kids. Would look pretty good going forward. Patrick has a chip on his shoulder too after not being invited to the combine

This

Give me a trade back from 9 to the teens and get Wilkins. Then get me a trade up back into the 1st to get Fant. And I’m, a pig in.... love what hat that would look like. Then lobe the the thought of trading back into the 2nd and then back into the 3rd. Get me Ferguson or Tillery in the 2nd and then Sanders in the 3rd. If that cannot happen, get L.J. Scott in the 4th.

JJ Arcega Whiteside is actually the closest thing. Butler is a bit stiff but would run circles around Frankenstein-Hardy any day. I think of him as more of a Julio type honestly, but that wasn’t the question. Your right though, based on the question of who is closest to Hopkins, Harry is probably that.

Oh that? Lol. That’s hilarious that’s what your basing an argument on. Where were some of the losers on that list? Where were other guys that didn’t make that list but are incredible or at least very good now. Guys like Jeffery, Evans, Jackson, Fitzgerald. Theres no guarantee that just because he’s big and fast, that he’ll be good in the league. Hell, there’s no guarantee that he doesn’t re-injure his neck again after the first hit that he takes in training camp. I keep having to say it. I don’t dislike him. His potential isn’t just through the roof. There isn’t a roof with him. He could be the most dominant WR to ever play the game. If the Bills take him, I hope he becomes just that. I just wouldn’t bet on that happening.

I think one of the 3. Harry, Butler, or Brown will be there at 40. Or close enough that we trade back into the late first or rapper 2nd to get one. Of course, if that’s what they are looking at. They might be thinking they are good at WR for all we know.

Where are you getting the scores from? I haven’t seen this list.

I actually cheated and took wilkins at 15 when he was gone at 14. But I think it’s more likely he’s there than not. With the awFs that we’re left, I thought Ridley was the best options. He’s about #6 on my list but the rest were all gone.

I still based my mock on the assumption that we traded with Wash. but with the updated mock

I think it’s more likely we get a 2nd and a 4th. But depending the need for Washington to move up we could end up with a 2nd and a 3rd, maybe with a toss in of a later round pick. Maybe one of the 4ths. But if that’s the case, I’d go like this: 15- Wilkins DT 40- Tillery DE or Ferguson DE 74- Ridley WR 76- Best OL or Sanders RB 96- L.J. Scott RB

Please god let this happen. If he is picked in before 9 that leaves someone good there for us.

Dexter finally got some style with “Slice of Life”

Yeah. Maybe even a trade up

Normally I’d be ok with trading a malcontent. But this kid was a stud. And we gave him away for nothing.

He’s projected between the 4th and 6th rounds. Personally I’d pass on a RB until round 4 and take this kid. I can’t get enough of watching his highlights. I really think this kid is going to be good. Assuming he’s in the right situation. Heres another monster that I want. He’s a 7th round guy or possibly Undrafted.

He did. Even at the end. Played well considering McD had him in less than 50% of the time. Imo, it’s my biggest take away from this coaching staff and GM. When you have a superstar, you need to find a way to make it work. He was one of the best DTs in football. You’ve got to find a way to get him on the field. If he’s not motivated, as a coach you need to find a way to motivate him.

If he wants to resurrect his career, he should do what I did with him in Madden. Convert to TE.

I’m not sold on Oliver. But I LOVE Ferguson, and I really like Miles. Don’t know anything about Knox. But I feel like I’d end up being daily happy with this draft. Just hope Oliver pans out.

I read the article. It just made my point even more to be honest. They used their stats to say that DK, along with other first round WRs had close to a 50% chance at becoming very good if not superstars in the league. WELL DUH... of course early round picks have a much better shot at becoming good. They are athletically gifted over later round picks which generally means they have a higher chance of being good. This quote in their conclusion says it all to me ”Assuming Metcalf gets drafted in the first-round, his chance for success is high. The probability for reaching Calvin Johnson dominance might be less than 50-percent but increases if we temper our expectations.” As if him being drafted in the first round has anything to do with his success at all. The fact is that he’s a freak and based on potential, he could turn into a dominant player in the league. Then they have the balls to say that he has a 50% chance to be as dominant as the most dominant receiver to ever play the game??? Where do they come up with this crap. And i I didn’t include it, but they also say that Harry and Butler are safer picks and have less of a chance to bust than DK. Again, if they draft DK, I get it. Your swinging for the fences. He has the possibility to be the best player in the draft. The potential to take the league by storm and change everything for us. I’ll be happy if they see that in him and hope that he can become just that. But my instincts tell me that Harry is the best WR in this draft. That AJ Brown and Butler will also be better. More consistent. Have much better route trees. And have much higher floors, even if it does limit their ceilings. And your 100% right about the TE position. However, if you can get your hands on one of the TEs in the league that are highly considered the best. Guys like Shockey, Gonzo, Gronk, Ertz, Kelce, And Kittle arguably make more of an impact than even some of the best WRs in the game. If you can get your hands on a player like that, at a position that normally doesn’t have that kind of impact; it’s that much more important.

I don’t take away from what DK COULD become. It’s that he’s been often injured. It’s that he’s not put up very good numbers in college and that’s with other really good WRs on the field at the same time. Yes... he’s a physical freak. Could be a generational talent. But he could flame out like all the other workout warriors that come through the draft. Personally, if it’s me, I’d rather trade back from 9, pick up extra picks and take Hockenson or Fant. I believe they could be the TE versions of Metcalf. Especially Fant. He is just a monster. But right now TJ is a better all around player. But if I’m taking a shot on someone being a generational talent, I’d rather trade back, get extra picks, and take Fant Probably Harry

Watch this kid. He’s a beast. A TD machine. He’s everything I want in a RB for my team. My favorite play is prolly his run at the 4:50 mark.

I don’t follow college football very much. Right around this time is when I start watching highlights of the guys coming out. Ill say this, if Harry is there when we pick in the 2nd round and we don’t take him, I’ll be severely disappointed. And that hat means I do not want a WR in the 1st round. If they go with Metcalf, I hope they know what they are doing. He’s got probably the highest ceiling. Could be the next Megatron. He could also be James Hardy. I personally would rather have Harry or AJ Brown. Or if they want that freakish body, go with Butler who’s 6’6” and has really good movement. He doesn’t look Frankensteinish to me at all.

Actually at the combine he was 15lbs lighter. And chances are he bulked up for the combine just like everyone else does for their weigh in. Especially with a position like DT. If you look at him, he looks much lighter than Kyle. I think the thing that makes Harry so enticing is his route running. He seems like he has much more fluidity in his movements and has a much bigger route tree than some of the other WRs.
