Rondale Moore.....trade down and snag this monster.

[Simon Says]

These "trade down" scenarios are iffy. How far down do you trade? How can you know for sure he will be there? You can't predict what other teams will do.

He's only 5'9" but then you have the speed factor.

 

I like big, tall, physical guys who can catch any ball that is anywhere near their huge wingspan, despite being well covered.  

 

But we need a speed burner threat! 

 

 

 

Tyreek Hill is 5' 10" ....and called the 'Cheetah' for his speed.   He hurt us with his speed in the Championship game.

If he is such a monster then why risk it by trading down? Just take him at 30.

He won’t even be there at 30

Drafting a WR with our first pick is not how I'd want the draft to go. CB, edge rusher, or oline, pease. WR is one of our strongest positions.

Sanders and Mckenzie are on 1 year deals. Cole is getting up there in age and if he starts to show it this season could be a cut candidate next year.

 

We are in good shape for this season and don't need to go out of our way to grab a WR. But if the value is their we shouldn't hesitate to take one. It could end up being a major need a year from now.

If that first pic is not a defense of player after how bad our defense was last year I am going to eat my hat

Hmm. I don't think our defense was actually bad. It struggled early on and then got way better later on.

Pass rush was not there pretty much all year

 

Let me rephrase that.....we are used to seeing DOMINANT defense annually from this team......we did not see that last year.

Although I agree and suspect CB is probably the pick, I would keep some extra spices and sauces in your home just to be safe.

He's rated mid 2nd to early 3rd.  Just keep an eye on him and make a deal when the time is right.

then just pick him there

Easier said than done. How will you know for certain " the time is right"?

Why does it matter where the speed comes from? Just get a playmaker who makes things hard for opposing defenses.

A WR isn’t a wasted pick when 2 of your top 4 WRs are in their 30’s. Sanders is only here for 1 year and Beasley isn’t getting any younger.

 

Other than Benjamin Button, nobody gets younger.

[DJB]

Unless we plan on scheming the ball to him, I don't think we should be drafting a guy in the 2nd round to be a decoy. 

 

Big pass. I like about 10 more WR's in the class than him.

If he’s the highest ranked player on their board when it’s their turn to pick, I assume  (and, if they haven’t already picked a WR earlier)

Dude ran a 4.29, jumped 42.5, squats 600...I just did a mock, which was probably stacked before his pro day, and traded down to #52 to get him; picked up a 2022 2nd round pick in the process.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOPrnt8mIvU

Why trade down - just pick him later if he’s there

You don’t trade down to get player X. You trade up to get player X. 
 

Trading down is because there is no player you must have, so the added value in later picks is worth more to you than the players available.

[DCOrange]

I would be on board with Rondale (or a few other WRs) at 30. Certainly a risk with his injury history but he’s very talented. 

[without a drought]

Only one good season, his injury history and only being 5' 7" might make this a questionable choice.

 

Being fast, jumping high and doing squats doesn't change anything listed above.

[Mr. WEO]

This tiny man has produced little in the past 2 years and has had one solid year of college football (3 years ago).  

 

Trading down to get him is a bad idea.

We finished 14th out of 32.  We were just used to top 5 defenses in the past, but then again our offense was horrible for years.

 

We need defensive line talent, maybe a CB although I have high hopes for DJ, RB maybe, and TE.

Let me rephrase that.....we are used to seeing DOMINANT defense annually twice in the past 16 seasons  from this team......we did not see that last year.

 

Edited for accuracy.
