And even Green Bay has managed to draft a WR this year. Do we need a WR? I can argue a RB or TE but it wasn't their, we did what we needed to do.

Seems they are drafting players with significant upside that may be contributors this year and take over as a starter next year. 1

Our starters are already here. Everyone is pissed about other teams filling their squads as "starters" with unproven rookies for their holes. We will properly develop our guys and make them starters when it's warranted. I get it, been a super long time since the early 90's, we are doing fine. Edited May 1, 2021 by Real McNasty 1

And Breida. And whatever else we can add via trade and further free agency signings. But didn't you hear? That 3rd round WR that we didn't draft is a guaranteed future Hall of Famer!! 🙄 1
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 Beane just said they had a deal to trade back out of the second round but decided not to because they liked Basham that much. 1

People forget having a team stacked with talent you draft quality back ups who will start in the future. 1

Agreed, plus they still have Hodgins who is a is an unknow to us at this point and they did pick up Breida who does bring more speed to the team. 1

Turbo44 Posted May 1, 2021 Posted May 1, 2021 Beane had a trade in place with an NFC team to trade 61 for a 3rd rounder and other pick(s) with the condition Basham wasn't there at 61

On paper it looks great but take Diggs out of the game and we look weak. Admittedly, Beasley was playing with an injury at the end of last year so hopefulluy he'll be returning fit and firing. Our running game can easily be exposed, though - think I would have preferred taking Carter or Gainwell in the third though, as I said, as an individual player I do like the idea of Brown.
