And what's the general consensus around here about Todd Pinkston?  That he would have had a much better career in the modern NFL.  

Wait. We got Goodwin?

Ok so now let's get rid of Jeffery

I was never all in on speed like most were. If I had my druthers I'd take speed, but really I just want really good players, I never cared what their 40 times were. Howie just seems completely tunnel visioned on speed because of a full year of criticism on how slow they were. If these guys work out, awesome. If not, it's gonna look like Howie took speed just to take it.

Then next year if these picks don't work out, they'll shift back to trying to get more bigger guys who have great hands because this strategy didn't work.

Wentz is the type of QB that can be a big play at anytime, like Mahomes.  He has the mobility and 1 flick of the wrist can sling it downfield for big plays.  He couldnt do that because they didnt have the WRs to do so.  Now if these fast WRs can separate and spread the field.......look out!!!!

Love the Watkins pick. Steal of the draft. He'll make the roster over Hightower

Watkins gave me Darius Slayton vibes, just like Hightower.

Besides Reagor, are these WRs supposed to be good?

I mean, they’re late round picks, so the odds are obviously against them.

That said, they’re both legitimate WRs. Not just guys who can run.

I think the idea here is that you add Goodwin, Hightower and Watkins... figure one, maybe two makes the roster.

I don't think Jatavis Brown makes the team. We're going to carry 5, maybe 6 LBs. Brown has 500K guaranteed, which is very little in dead money if we cut him. If someone gets hurt in camp, he stays. If someone gets hurt on another team, he's easy to trade. 

Locks: Riley, Edwards, Gerry, Taylor
Extras: Bradley, Brown, Singleton

And if he wasn’t expected to carry the WR position himself

This could end up being a really good draft, folks.  Talk about a 180.  Well done, Howie. 

When do the rosters expand?

yep.

Reagor may be a 4.2 guy. Goodwin is a 4.2 guy.

We have Jackson who runs like a 4.2 guy.

We drafted Watkins who is a 4.3 guy, and Hightower who runs like a 4.3 guy.

 

Theres no room here for Jeffery, JJAW, or Ward. Sorry.

As of now biggest needs imo are pass rush depth and bruiser RB to help open things up for these speed guys. 

We have pass rush depth. The young guys we have already project better than most of these guys. Hall, Avery, Sweat, Miller I guess...

If it weren't for that 2nd round pick tho...ugh

I want Michael Warren, or Corbin. And then Tuszka for the final 2 picks. At that point we will have addressed every position of need except #2 CB. 

 

Guys, sorry that I've been MIA for a bit.  I was busy remotely hacking into Howie's trade and draft selection software.  What did I miss?

Fun fact. In nature coyotes are faster than roadrunners.

It was so (rightfully) skewed by that second pick

It’s not like drafting Jeremy Bloom, if that’s what you are asking. They are productive players from smaller schools, but legitimate WR’s. 

I’m starting to think this may be damning to jjaw. This amount of volume makes him seem like an afterthought

Sucks too.  I like Ward.  If hes good enough, he will beat out 1 or 2 of these guys.
