If MHJ is gone. What now?

[slanidrac16]

this draft has a 2020 WR draft vibe to it --

WRs drafted in 2020:

12 Ruggs
15 Jeudy
17 Lamb
21 Reagor
22 Jefferson
25 Aiyuk
33 Tee Higgins
34 Pittman


IIRC pre-draft: the pre-draft debate was Jeudy vs Lamb as the best. Jefferson was considered good, but the beneficiary of the attention paid to Jamar Chase (who came out in 2021).

I remember Riggs was a shocker when he was selected.

Go WR first and OT/DT/Edge with second first round pick. BPA among those three positions. Would not use our second or any of our third round picks to move up. We need too much.

I don’t want to trade picks either. My plan was predicated on trading down an adding picks, then use them to move back up.

my thoughts are fluid on this... but right now Im thinking if MHJ is not available...
Go Oline and Dline in the first... then grab Brenden Rice with pick 34... unless he moves up after the combine.

I don’t like players moving up because of the combine. Is Rice a good option based on his performance on the field?

senior season at USC... 45 catches, 790 yards, 12 Touchdowns.
1 in 4 catches was a TD...thats Chris Carter numbers. The kid can play. Prototype X receiver with 4.3 speed at 6'3

I posted a video of him in the NFL Legacies thread... he has a lot to like

Looked at his profile and it looks awesome. Makes you wonder about grabbing an edge like Verse, sanders or Lutu.

In a one or the other hypothetical it’s OL with our pick and WR with Houston’s pick. Every pick on defense after that.

For me more Dortch and less Moore. More or less.

OL or Nabers? @DVontel

Nabers.

 

[HoodieBets]

Nabers.

Look at that you and me agree on something. 2024 starting great.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

If MHJ is gone I really like Odunze. He showed out big time for UW last night. People say he’s a bigger Chris Olave with how fluid he runs routes.

He’s my WR1 who I think will translate the best. Big game player, great catch radius and a certified Dawg.

No thanks on Dallas Turner. He was invisible yesterday and then had the audacity to blame the coaches and appear lackadaisical after the game.

agree. Im in on Odunze. I like Nabers, but there is too much talk of him being a 2 or a slot in the nfl...we need a bona fide X out of this draft

 

[bankybruce]

I'd go OT, because when we do select they will probably be BPA. Even though we have bigger needs.

I think that all depends on DJs knee. If it's tore, then Takcle is absolutely a need. I'm not ready to ride with DJ next year off of knee surgery when he'll be a 31 year old player with chronic injury issues.

That role may be more important in todays NFL ie Tyreek Hill, Ceedee Lamb and Amon Ra St.Brown….I’d rather have an amazing slot guy than an outside receiver.

I agree with this. If DJ needs knee surgery then you probably just make the transition.

The big question that determines WR or OT with the first pick, IMO, is where do you see PJJ long term?

No reason to take Alt or Fashanu if you feel PJJ is moving to LT. If you are committed to keeping PJJ at RT, then you can justify Alt or Fashanu.

right...and if Paris is going to be LT... can get Mims maybe at 34 to be RT if he is still on the board.
Tough call on Mims but I cant be the only guy that sees him. dude was rated a top 15 pick before this season even started with only 2 starts under his belt. the ankle thing really hurt his chance to move up the charts....just wish I had a feel for when he might come off the board, would love to get him at 34...but he might be gone by the Texans pick too.
either way, RT is easier to fill even in FA... but this draft a second rounder can probably do a good job there.

Probably depends on if Fuaga is still on the board and how you feel about Mims compared to Latham, Guyton, and Morgan. Trading up from the top of round 2 should also be considered if there is a player you really like.

 

[Chopper0080]

I know people are looking for some young defensive help but Nabers, Fuaga, and Legette with the first three picks is pretty nice.

 

[Totally_Red]

MHJ is a no-brainer. If he is gone you do your duty to protect your 45-million QB with an OT. Receiver or edge with the pick from Houston.

The time of this post is not lost on me.

 

[slanidrac16]

Take a look at Keon Coleman. I don’t like highlight reels of wr’s catching balls 3 yards beyond the defender.
The highlight reel I watched shows this kid catch contested catches one after another. One handed catches. Catching balls at the high point.
I’m no expert but he seems like the kind of Wr this team needs. Again, assuming MHJ is gone.
