You don’t like him because he’s skinny. Nice analysis. 

I like him as a player, I don't like him as an NFL prospect because he's VERY skinny and I don't know how his game will translate.  Not at pick 6 at least.  I've posted my comparisons of him in on here numerous times and it's more than he is just skinny.

I want no part of Smith. He's built like a middle schooler. 

Off topic...is it a sign of getting old when you hate every commercial you watch? I can't remember the last one I actually liked.

it's a sign of the times. Getting used to fast forward through commercials

Obviously body size wise they're different, but Smith in college looks like Rice out there.  Nothing about him is physically imposing but he does everything right and at a high level.

Reagor has the thick build that you like. Devonta would work as the deep threat, probably not the workhouse WR due to his size but still an elite talent.  We need playmakers on this team at this point.

What I notice about commercials is the amount that have doorbells in them.  I wonder if it's some sort of conditioning thing to get us to buy their products but many of them seem just completely irrelevant to the product.  Drives my dog nuts.

Also, look up the AT&T girl....you might look at those commercials in a different light now.

Yep. Deja vu all over again.

He's got similar size/build to DJax, but without DJax's next gear speed.  This is why I don't see him as a top 10 pick.  This draft class, while it has depth, it doesn't have many top tier blue chip prospects.  Kinda sucks we end up with the #6 pick in a year when there's not great value at the top end of the draft.  This is why I'm OK with some QB hungry team trading up with us while we acquire more picks (and 2022 picks might be better than 2021 picks) and then see what's available to us in a lower spot.

I would trade nearly any player on this roster for draft value that marginally exceeds what was used to select him.  Any player except Mailata.  Even Sweat isn't safe.  That certainly includes Goedert.

There's a few I wouldn't trade and Goedert would be one

whats really truly impressive is that Jordan Matthews somehow set that record on mostly screen passes despite his limitations. 

That's why I was so sour on Justin Jefferson.  I never insisted he'd bust and I missed the boat on him for sure...but NCAA yardage is just white noise.

Megatron didn't top 1,000 yards until his 3rd year as a starter.  Metcalf never did anything.  Devonta Smith, Jamar Chase, and Jordan Matthews put up those numbers from the training room between plays.

If you're in the right system, get the right targets, and play enough games, you'll have better numbers than the actual right prospect.  

And I'm not saying that Chase and Smith won't be immensely successful, but I do think they'll be overdrafted due to being gears in the machine with NFL talent playing overwhelmed defenses.  This draft, as in previous years, will probably feature a lucky team(s) that plucks a more athletic WR from round 2 who is just as good, if not better than the guys at the very top.

The fb comments on her thickness are hilarious

I love Master Teague III. I love his name.

Backstory:

My middle son rode a bus to pre school circa 2012. I walked him and the dog to the bus stop every morning around 0600. One morning we got to talking and my son told me about how the older kids on the bus made fun of the younger kids and called them names.

I said "Well that stinks. Do they call you names?"

He said "Yeah."

I asked " What do they call you?"

He said "Master."

Southern people are weird going to games in business casual attire. I used to go to PSU games in the t-shirt I puked on the night before

Well, they don't dress her like that in their commercials.  They have all the good parts too well covered.

If he could stay healthy, he'd be on my list.  But he can't.

Sark for OC

Yea, they picked a bad year to to bottom out for sure.  Bad top end talent.  Top players opting out so no current tape on them.  Possibly no combine....good job Eagles.

Then if we ever lose one of them we’re in the same situation as we were with Doug losing Reich. No thanks. 

If the OC is that good promote him and say see you Duce 

Smith is going to be a good player. He's a great route and catches almost everything. He'll add on weight and muscle. I don't have an concerns with him

Think big picture.  Look at the cap situation.  Look at the number of holes on the team.  Then look at the contracts top tight ends are getting.  Goedert COULD be looking at $60 million after next year.  I would much rather get something back instead of watching him walk.  A top 5 salary tight end is not the difference in this team being good or not.

Well, 2013 was a really bad year to be at the top of the draft.  They even had no clue wtf they were doing and were set on Dion Jordan.  And they ended up with the best draft pick they've made in the 7 years since and arguably the best player from the top 10 of that draft, easily worth the #4 pick in any draft.  

If a broken clock is right twice per decade, we are due.

Oh man, I've been on top of Lily (so to speak) for a few years now. The commercials try to downplay her, ahem, endowments, but if you know, you know.
