Oh you updated - i will delete my thread I like Linval

Wirfs looks damn good! Also, should always watch the tape and not fall in love or out of love with numbers

@GunnerBill

We also don't have WRs who force a DC to game plan around them which creates opportunities for Smoke, Bease, Singletary & the TEs. Explosive WR who can take it to the house and cuase the DC to double team and not just sit in Zone and take away our WRs who can't separate quickly. edit: Higgins doesn't create that threat and again is not entirely versatile enough or create enough separation quickly.

At #22 I am not touching any of these guys or the tier 2 WRs (have said that many times). At #22 CB/S is looking like BPA by far and you can't pass that talent up IMO. I am also a dealer and believe we should hunt for elite talent, if any of the top 3 are available at pick #10 may ass is on the phone trying to move up. If that doesn't work out, the consolation prize will be the DB @ 22 and then figure out where I need to get to for Aiyuk and if I can't pull that off I'm looking at Reagor and Mims (who may be as a high as a mid/late #2 - depends on how the draft and who falls, who doesn't and what the positional runs are).

I am not big in Shenault either TBH. When it comes to the Tier 2/3 guys I like AIyuk, Mims, Reagor over Higgins again based on fit and how I would look at the offense (explosive playmaker vs a big guy WR. I'd rather have the top 3 WRs being 5'11"ish and up with 4.4 ish or better speed who can go over the middle and play outside. The specialty big guy is a WR4 or TE for me. I am not a fan of gimmick players either...Just me and my preferences of course!

I like Aiyuk better and I have a facsination with Mims (who I think I like better than Higgins). Again it is more of Higgins as a fit for who we are on offense. JMO of course!

there have been battles over it seeing that is what the intent was

we are not a veritcal offense, we want josh to get rid of the ball in under 2.5 serconds and we play a very versatile scheme. What I am saying is the big WR who is open when he is even voered is not a full time player that fiuts our scheme, a Big guy who is open when he is even covered fits a TE or a WR4 better for our offense than a guy who will be over drafted at pick#22

Higgins does not have the skillset to play anywhere on the field, he honestly is too slow to play inside and get any type of separation; his skill set is more for outside work. Versatility and being able to go over the middle, play outside and adjust your routes based on the D look requires very versatile players. Higgins is not all that versatile, frankly there are better prospects ahead of him when it comes to the tier 2 guys and not one of the tier 2 guys will be BPA at 22, that still appears to to be CB. So no, I challenge the thought that we need a traditional X WR, we need players who can catch the ball and are very versatile in their routes

The vertical guy/redzone big guy should simply be your TE or a WR4

And higgins only plays on the outside

So PFF is good now?

Him and Star can conceivably be used as trade bate now (not sure of the market value), but it also allows us to sign their longer term replacements and allow us to either keep them for great depth for a run or are they are now very cut able. Great move again

@Gugny posted that one topless photo of you in OTW - that was enough

off the top of my head the Eagles, Falcons, Chiefs, Steelers, Jags have also done this Edit now the Phins, Jets, Redkins

It actually might make the draft more enjoyable. Although I believe ESPN will be running a JJ Watt feature between picks

Edit - @Hapless Bills Fan feel free to merge with Yolo's thread. Just want to make sure it isn't lost since he isn't around to update the title...
