Gunsgoodtime Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 Awesome. Get Shaq back, go into the draft and get WR, Ol in 1st 2 rounds, MLB 3rd(just used a 3rd last year on the position) then play with your DT pick, S, rb, te in the last 4 rounds. Yes I know we only got 6 picks, just naming positions to look at 2 Quote

Straight Hucklebuck Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) 38 minutes ago, Dr. Who said: Johnston, JSN, and Addison are a tier above the rest. Doubt any of them fall to 27. Downs for me is next. Some folks like Flowers and Hyatt. I think they are second round receivers who might go in the first. Depending on who else is available, I think Downs is a viable choice. Here's a positive assessment that argues for Downs as a first round quality pick. https://www.profootballnetwork.com/josh-downs-wr-north-carolina-nfl-draft-scouting-report-2023/ Yes, I would expect Downs to come off the board before pick #59. If they go WR in Rounds 1 & 2 I wonder where that leaves Shakir. He seems unlikely to eat into Davis’ snap count, and a R1, R2 WR would immediately outrank him. Beane has said Harty is a WR 4 type, meaning he’d be down with Sherfield in injury replacement and mop up reps. Edited March 29, 2023 by Straight Hucklebuck Quote
skibum Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 This is great news. Great player and fan favorite for a very reasonable price. Quote

Personally, I would be EXTREMELY surprised if Beane drafted a WR in round 1 AND round 2. They want a TE (more likely two of them), they NEED a viable MLB...I just don't see how they could take two receivers early. Not to mention that I don't believe the roster space exists for that. 3 Quote
Beck Water Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 23 minutes ago, HappyDays said: Phillips is quite a bit better than Settle when healthy. Problem is he wasn't healthy most of the season. PFF doesn't factor that into their grades. To be fair to him, Settle injured a calf muscle (I believe it was) in Week 1, didn't play week 2, Q for week 3, but came back and saw an unusually high number of snaps the next couple of weeks because Oliver and Phillips were both out. Settle is primarily a 1TDT and normally rotates with DaQuan Jones. 11 minutes ago, Gunsgoodtime said: I'm not a gambler, but I'm willing to place a bet with someone on Beane drafting wr in round 1 and 2 Round 1 AND 2? I don't think so. Not with having just signed Harty to the 2nd biggest FA contract, signing Sherfield who I believe is the #5 or 6/Kumerow replacement, and having Diggs Davis and Shakir already on the roster. Where would two guys fit? Quote
machine gun kelly Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 Happy they brought him back. He deserved it. He was an impact when he wasn’t injured. He played banged up a good portion of the year. 1 Quote

I honestly don't know, but my thinking is they need to bring in a wr with more talent than the mid-round picks they have been drawing from. Maybe Downs eats into Shakir's snaps, but his ceiling is much higher. Quote

transplantbillsfan Posted March 29, 2023 Posted March 29, 2023 Pretty awesome. Love the dude. Position is set for this year. That said, our DT position is pretty screwed starting in 2024 with absolutely no one currently under contract beyond this season. Quote

A Round 1 or Round 2 WR, not both rounds. Phillips signing takes DT #4 pressure off in the earlier rounds. Quote
