Do I have to go back and quote every time you mentioned taking a Wr QB tandem in this draft. You obviously understand the benefits.

I do, but if you are doing BPA, then you take the BPA. Marshall also played with Burrow, so they could easily take paye and still get marshall

Chase seems like he has one of the highest ‘floors’ of anybody in this draft. He moved Jefferson, whom you thought worthy of a mid first round pick last year, down to the second WR on his team. Was the guy defenses had their best cover guy and double teamed instead of Jefferson.

Like I said,I will assume they swap with the Lions and take Chase at 7

So how big on the overall ranking difference do you have between Smith and Chase?

He didnt play this year

Not alot. It's very close in my view,I just feel Smith is the better option for us. I would be ok with either. Some have them reversed. It's just the "little things" I see more of in Smith

Chase decided to skip the 2020 season and prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft. It probably was a wise decision to protect his draft stock as he really could not get any higher. His production was bound to decline without Joe Burrow at quarterback and other talented players like wide receiver Justin Jefferson and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire drawing attention from defenses. With just Chase returning, defenses would have sent bracket coverage and his numbers would have declined while taking an injury risk. Chase should be safe as a top-10 pick next April in the 2021 NFL Draft.(Walter)

And I’m fine with that. But by your own definition...if I’m Cincy...I’m taking Chase over Smith

I disagree with Walterfootball often as far sa ranking order, I DO however like their analysis

I'm taking the best WR. Like I said if they are letting a rook QB run their draft,they are fools. I have ZERO idea who they have ranked higher

SO how do you know how he would have done this year had he played???? As stated above he took off to avoid his draft stock falling. I don't recall Smith avoiding anyone on the bama roster. He played ball lol

Thinking out loud: with Gannon becoming #Eagles DC and having a stud LB in Darius Leonard in Indy, it may not be a stretch to think Philly could draft Micah Parsons with the 6th pick.

I’m think about the same way right now Parsons at 6 

Even if my scouts come out with Smith as the 3rd best player in this draft and Chase 4th. I go woth the guy my QB already had a great connection with. Already hit the ground running with familiarity.  It matters.

Yes ...maybe....if we had a different FO. Gotta remember who runs this team. Hasn’t it been painfully obvious this season?

It's been 18 months. 3-4 months ok maybe, but I take the best WR on my board .If they think that is Chase so be it,if they think that is Smith they will GO there

Gotta hope for change eventually at 6 to me you just take the best player we need numerous positions and to me nobody will be better then Parsons. 

Leonard was even a second rounder. Very far cry from top ten pick.

Had nothing to do with when he was drafted but the impact the stud LB has on the Colts D. 

IMO Parsons/Sewell will go 3/4 (either order)

But we didn’t change the FO. Fired the coach instead. LB isn’t happening 

I mean honestly speaking taking Parsons is just as likely as is drafting a CB in the top 10. 

And really we have no "elite" type WR's, and if we have no offense, the d won't matter much. I would like a CB and LB in 2,3 (either order) but I really need to get some effective O weapons in here and for me, so they cant DT Reagor, I need that other guy

I think I could easily make a case for TE being above both in this draft as BPA

Your talking Pitts and he is a hell of a player and playmaker. No I don’t think he is better then Parsons but think you could make a case for him as the best pass catcher in this draft

I really don’t agree with this. Talk to Rosie...he isn’t taking a LB...just...isn’t....going...to....happen.

I’m saying we most likely take somebody in the trenches.
