Warcodered Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Maybe we call Dallas say sorry about last year but what would you give us to help make it up to you? Quote
NORWOODS FOOT Posted March 11 Posted March 11 He won’t be there. But, yes, due to his special skill set, I would take him. Too good of a player to pass up. Let Joe Brady figure it out. With that much talent it really wouldn’t be that hard. Find the favorable matchup and bleed it till they stop it. 2 Quote

billsfan89 Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Unless they feel that Bowers has the ability to play as an outside WR consistently then I would strongly have to think they would pass and more likely trade down to a team looking to snag him. I love the idea of adding an elite talent but you also have to have it make sense for your roster. Quote

He’s a top 10 player in this draft. I agree with this, but the thought exercise I guess is if he is there at 28, what do you do? I'd take him, then grab a WR by trading up in Rd. 2. You'd have a dynamic TE set for the next 4 years, a top WR in Diggs, and another WR in the rookie. Really opens up the offense, IMO. Quote

I love Bowers as a prospect, sure top 10 guy in this draft, I just think there is no realistic way he ever falls to us, but you never know. So to play your game on the what if he surprises and does, I still say we trade back because I think Beane could get back a premium on someone wanting to move up and get him at that point. Now as far as what I think will happen...I cant see anyway he would get past Cincy at 18 and if he somehow did, then several of the teams between Bengals and us would also have a high chance to grab him or someone will trade up like say a KC to grab him as an heir apparent to Kelce who is a key position in their offense and probably in the last year there. He is without a doubt a top 10 prospect overall, just depends on how a team values the TE position. 2 Quote
Rigotz Posted March 11 Posted March 11 So ... We just agreed to a re-worked deal for Knox so he's here long term ... And we just drafted another Tight End with our 1st rounder ... And Brock Bowers has zero chance of going outside the top 20 ... YES, PERFECT FIT Quote

Donuts and Doritos Posted March 11 Posted March 11 (edited) Sure, does he play WR-2 or DT for us? Edited March 11 by Donuts and Doritos Quote

Every once in a while he's there. And sometimes just before us and Cinci passes. it won't be real but it's a good thought exercise. Id be very curious to see what we would do and if we got him what move is next. Knox plus pick to move up in 2 for a WR? Thought exercises and experiments are provocative. Quote

Knox plus pick to move up in 2 for a WR? Thought exercises and experiments are provocative. If we took Bowers then traded Knox to move back up in the 2nd and get someone like McConkey, Coleman, Pearsall, Polk, Franklin, etc...then I would lose my sh*t in excitement. First of all, if we miss out on either Thomas or Mitchell in the first, I would rather trade back and pick up an extra 3rd or something instead of reaching at 28, and grab one of those other WR's with the pick we traded back to. But if we could get Bowers and move Knox and still get one of those WR's then Beane is a god. Again, I think there is 0% of any of that happening...but lets say we did take Bowers, would you trade Kincaid who would fetch far better trade value than Knox? Quote

There is a greater possibility of me getting a date with Margot Robbie than Bowers being there when we pick. 1 Quote
