See I think that about WR. I’m not keen on spending a first on Addison or Johnston. They’re both too slow and Addison isn’t that big for what we look for and what we need.
They’re always drafting for YAC. Even last year Skyy had a respectable 4.41 speed with an elite 10 yard split while having huge hands and 5’10 195 with big legs.
JSN and Hyatt are the guys for me in rd 1. I also wouldn’t hate Flowers if they really thought that highly of him, but his skinny frame while playing makes me a bit nervous as well as his height. I don’t see an enormous disparity between Hyatt and Mims who will be available in rd 2. Don’t see a huge disparity between Johnston and Mingo either.
We can talk about value all we want, but a blue chipper is a blue chipper. Just last year we went into that draft thinking they might not take a Corner in the first rd bc they’ve had so much success getting them later on.
They obviously saw McDuffie as an elite prospect and chose to get him.
I think that situation arises in this draft on the DL and OT. There’s guys you move up for if they’re in range like you did McDuffie based on talent and opportunity cost.
Darnell Wright seems like that guy IMO. If he falls to 26 you call Dallas and give them a 4th and 6th to get him. Just too much value.
If Will McDonald is there, I think you have to think you get him. He’s slightly undersized but is tall enough to add weight. Jalin Hyatt is the only WR I can see them doing a small move up for.
In regards to “waiting for a DL in rd 2”. Yeah that’s possible. They’ve scouted a lot of DL. But I think we’re attacking that position with multiple draft picks. The value is so good in rd 3 and 4 this year.
