The Jokeman

I remember reading this article before the draft and having reservations about Watkins. Yet I felt Eric Ebron was a better option. https://www.si.com/2014/04/15/sammy-watkins-clemson-nfl-draft

What do you expect from a rookie WR? To me a good rookie WR year for a guy who's behind Brown and Beasley in the pecking order is 30-40 catches maybe 600 yards and 4-5 TDs. I think we can get those numbers from a guy like Pittman Jr in Round 2 and have gone on record I like a Curtis Weaver in Round 1 in my early draft analysis.

Then we look for a WR in 2022, again it's collecting the best group of players and with WR depth in this draft being better than most I think you can afford to wait to take one. If we keep our 9 picks I have no issues double dipping on WR. Round 2 and Round 6 ideally.

If he can develop into a Kenny Golladay I'd be more than happy yet I think we be better off with an Edge Rusher and getting someone like Michael Pittman Jr in Round 2.

Ha! that was the worst part of the trip everything else went pretty well and we're still happily married.

Wasn't this what most said about Sammy Watkins? Except that he lacked the ideal size of guys like AJ Green, Julio and other top WRs?

So would rather have the Aaron Rodgers outcome from this weekend or the Jimmy G outcome?

Meh. Me and the wife went to Vegas on our honeymoon last October and the fountains were a major let down as it only last 5-6 minutes and not nearly as impressive as they make it out to be on tv.

In high school he ran a 4.75; he better have improved that otherwise he won't be a 1st Rounder, I'd think he'd have to run at least a 4.5

To be fair Zay has good size and good speed, played well at the Sr Bowl and we had his former coach as his coach the first year we had him.

Golladay is no slouch either as with his 65 for 1190 and 11 TDs this season and has the size we need at 6-4 214.

What about Steve Bono or Elvis Grbac?

Well he did just get home from N.O. maybe he visited Deuce McCallister ;)

I admit I learned a few things about Hernandez watching this. Yet the documentary left me with more questions than answers. As I never got an understanding of Hernandez's point of view but maybe that was the point of it all. It was done well but I felt there were parts that could have been done better as I would have liked it had they actually interviewed his brother/mother or fiance to get an idea of Hernandez the man sure the phone call painted a picture but again it wasn't a complete one. They leave it open as to the reason behind why Hernandez killed and perhaps we will never know and the only one who does is Hernandez. Part of me wonders if it was more drug related aka his dealer made him do it but the documentary didn't explore that instead they focused on the his possible closeted homosexuality, lack of love from his parents and the CTE. I'd recommend it but wouldn't call it ground breaking.

WR is not always an immediate contributor because it takes time for guys to adjust to the NFL, now some do great and some don't. That's part of the reason am resistant to take one in Round 1 when we can get a more talented DE/LB in Round 1 and still get a quality WR in Round 2. As the draft is about collecting talent and developing it to assist short/long term. I'm not sure a rookie WR really can contribute considering he'd be 3rd on the pecking order behind Brown/Beasley. Yes, we could use a tall guy in the red zone but not sure how much athleticism of round 1 vs round 2 is a major impact all things considered.

Pittman is my choice for WR to take in Round 2. He has the size we lack and could develop into a top 2 WR over time.

D Williams was horrible this season, Carolina moved him all over to find him a spot, I think he finished the season at LG. He's not been the same since 2017.

He didn't even dress yesterday which says something about him as one would think he's better than their other RB unless Reid knows he can get more out of the other players (see play on ST or better speed etc). I'm not trying to hate Shady as loved his time here but he might not be what he used to.

That's how Brady started, as let's not forget the days of him always passing short to Troy Brown and Kevin Faulk.

I think the Bills could use a speedy change of pace RB myself. Someone in the Tarik Cohen mold. I like Salvon Ahmed in the draft in Round 4 or 5.

Considering Brady himself almost got traded instead of Jimmy G, yes there is some gratification in that.

As someone mentioned in a broadcast the best thing that happened was Jimmy G got hurt last year, it allowed the 49ers to slip and end up getting Bosa.

They do but I don't think most do as if they do it could really destroy leagues and don't think any draft pick would want to be the cause of that.

He could pull a Bo Jackson ala 1986.

Indeed
