I always got a soft spot for converted QBs, especially ones I saw play QB in college. That being said, I think he would be a bit redundant in a 3 receiver set with Hardy. They're both more possession guys. I would rather get a speedster like Benjamin or Jones in FA or Doctson or Fuller in the draft to add some more big play ability to the team.

I feel like we can't use a draft pick on WR with limited picks.

Vegan got us in a corner

What QB are you referencing? Sanu was a WR his whole time at Rutgers, he killed my alma mater back in 2011.

That's debatable. I have a different draft strategy than most though so

I saw him taking snaps in a game before. He was a WR there though, I believe it was an emergency situation or something.

What's your draft strategy?

Ideally I want the first 3 rounds to go Lb, DE, and center or guard....in that order. Maybe a wr in the 4th but that WR won't be a starter day 1. I like the kid out of UGA.

Justin Hardy can hold down the slot but we need a real wide out and I can't see us get 1 in the first 3 rounds.

I don't believe in investing picks in the same round on the same position multiple years in a row. So no 1st round DE(Beasley) or mid round WR(Hardy) this year. Seems redundant to me. I'd rather hedge my bets on high and mid round DE and WR pairs working out than "overinvesting" in DE and having less certainty at WR. Spread out investment and you'll reap more fitting rewards.

I also believe in BPA with very few exceptions(QB and OT my only definites and CB and RB close to it this year) and would have no problems spending our 1st or 2nd on a WR if he was the best player on our board. As much as we talk about Julio, it's going on 5 years since we invested a high(1-2) pick in a WR and we need some youth and upside at that position.

This actually makes a lot of sense. If we can solidify the middle of the oline in free agency this isn't too bad an idea.

My only qualm would be that if treadwell was off the board at 17, nobody left would warrant that pick as this isn't the deepest draft class. I like will fuller in the 2nd but ideally I would like to trade back if that was the route we went.

Fuller or Doctson would be perfect for me. I actually like both of them more than Treadwell personally. Problem is they both fall in that late 1st/early 2nd area between our picks. I also think an elite talent(Billings, Lee, Floyd) will be on the board for us at 17 so I wouldn't advocate for a trade down either.

I think the front office gets that too and that is why we're looking at FA's there, not because a WR wouldn't be worth the pick but because the ones we want will likely not be on the board for us at the right time.

If we get one of my top 3 at 17 and Fuller/Doctson(or Jaylon Smith) in the 2nd then I might all over my television.

I know exactly what you're talking about, he's thrown a few TDs on trick plays, one was a bomb to Brandon Tate in 2014 against us

Bruce Irvin is headed to the Raiders

Well the streets should be safer

 

[Sly Cookin]

Trevathan still on our radar. That would be big

 

[Rebel Soldier]

Pass rush is looking real weak right now

At this point, I might consider throwing a contract at Hardy
