Wow. Very interesting with the history there

If Shanny can’t fix him no one can

7 million for 2 years....I guess Mac has already stolen enough $ for a lifetime.

Matthew Golden will be the best WR to come out of this class.

If we could trade down to 10-12, take Golden. Then with the extra picks trade back into 1st and pick up Josh Simmons.

Not a bad idea, I’m especially fond of Simmons. I would prefer a WR with more height though (Golden is 5'11").

 

[JohnJH]

A year ago people were excited about the possibility of Campbell or Banks.

Indeed. In fact, before this off season I was absolutely and positively on the Will Campbell bandwagon. At the time, it was my firm belief that drafting him was a MUST DO. And, just a few weeks back I stated to others on here that I had believed that in the past, but since then, I've changed my mind. Not changed my mind that a true and solid LT is a MUST, but that at least in this draft he's not at the same level as Joe Alt. He could end up being one of those exceptions to the rule and be a solid LT, or he could be a year in-year out All Pro LG (which is great to have, but a young and solid LT is needed more).

Talent, and more height (with enough weight) is always better. It has occurred to me though that when Beckham Jr. was in his prime, he was 5'11, as is Luther Burden III. I find the possibility of Golden to be very enticing though.

Is our 3 chances to Kupp, Bourne, Springer and Stretch.

I really like Burden in the second.

Golden's 4.3 shot him up the draft boards.
Isaiah Bond was probably the better receiver, similar size, and his 4.4 (which most people who watched Texas would tell you seemed slow), can be had in the 2nd.

I like Golden as a player and think he'll be a good pro, I like Bond better, I think he's more ready to go, and is a better route runner.

We'll see if we get either.

If Burden even made it to the 2nd Round (let alone he was there when we picked and we actually drafted him), would be exciting in theory.

I wouldn't say no to either. If we came out of this draft with either one, or Jayden Higgins or Emeka Egbuka, I wouldn't be unhappy. I really like all four. I wonder which WR in this draft will end up being a Jalen Reagor, and which one will end up being closer to Justin Jefferson (taken after Reagor).

At best 700? Ladd Mcconkey just had 1100 yards as a second round rookie. I fully expect a T Mac or Luther to be a 1,000 yard rookie on the right team

I’ll take that bet. Especially if it’s here and they are doubled all the time because we added no other receivers to the crap we have.

 

[Ross12]

I’m still laughing at the fact that the Pats signed away the Jets’ starting RT that they were trying to keep (Morgan Moses), so the Jets replaced him with… Chuks Okorafor

 

[Ray Ray 717]

You’re right about we do have crap here at WR. It’s a shame some posters here on the forum are actually satisfied with this WR corps for a developing rookie QB. I just want to add talent to this dumpster of a unit. I feel bad for Maye.

 

[Ring 6]

Hopefully in a much, much smaller role. (Contract indicates as much)

Aren’t you the guy who was arguing against Kupp because all we need is a rookie?

Sounds reasonable, provided the medicals on Simmons are optimistic. But if not Simmons, one of the other LT prospects.

Kupp is washed up and only getting slower. Time to retire. I’d sign him but NOT as a number 1. Draft a phenom rookie on a friendly cost controlled deal

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Shanahan gonna pony up 250m for that Purdy contract after watching Mac Jones in half a pre season game

Best thing for Purdys value in house is people seeing how much worse an option like Mac Jones will be.

There is literally no-one on the forum that is satisfied with this WR corp. SMH

Or the OL.
