Samuel and Shakir are fast guys. We also desperately needed an X receiver that can block, catch passes even when not open, be a redzone threat, and has great size. Not much of those guys were available.
I wonder how much tape you actually watch to come up with a whole 7 round mock. Some of you guys are really something else. I get it's fun but the reality is you don't have much to go off. No interviews, no talking to teammates and coaches. No in depth film analysis.
Glad you aren't making any decisions. Even the GM admitted it was a position of great need, along with anyone who has watched the team over the last year. We lost one of our starters and the other is injured. Yea lets just roll into the season like that. Dane Jackson isn't horrible and still has room to get better but he definitely isnt good enough to go into the season as the only starting option. CB was definitely a huge hole compared to the other positions, and I think a lot of people overthought it.
So how could you be certain that another team didnt trade up with Dallas. Bottom line is he was sold on this player and didnt want to lose him. He valued the player over potentially losing him over a 4th rd pick.
How it is zero sense to secure a player at need that you would love to have on your team. You are basically saying am I willing to lose this player over a 4th? Beane knew he needed this player and made it happen. Its pretty simple.
Do we really? Diggs isn't even getting enough targets. Beasley has games where he isn't targeted. Gabe Davis isn't getting much burn at all and it isnt because of lack of talent. Where are these footballs that are left to catch?
I honestly just don't see it as a good fit. He needs to be somewhere he can be featured. We cant even get the ball to Diggs enough right now. Imagine throwing Beckham in the mix. Not worth the risk IMO. Josh also loves to run, so isn't like we have a QB who throws all game either.
