I don't like that the Brown trade locks us in at WR for years to come.  I realize that sounds good...but Brown isn't exactly the mold of WR that I prefer or that is most sought after with the way the NFL is currently played.  

Brown and Smith are the end result of "the process" at WR...after 3 first round picks, a 2nd round pick, and $100m in 3 years, we are SPENT at WR.  This WR corps we have right now is what it is.  There will be no additions or improvements for years to come.  And I still do not believe that it's constructed to be elite.  

WRs go very early in the draft now and go for big money.  To pay huge money and huge picks for a WR who was drafted in round 2 himself and who I still do not view as an elite WR...that's a tough sell for me.  You've got to be able to successfully draft these guys and be the team that is selling them for big picks towards the end of the deal.  Rather than trade for Brown, I'd rather have utilized some draft capital in getting our own WR through the draft.

 

We know.  ;)

I just noticed the show description that they have for draft. What in the world

It sounds like a copy writer for a reality show didn’t realize that comparing NFL players to gladiators is just an analogy.

It's someone I've never heard of, but won't spoil it

Look up his pro day. Check out whatever highlights you can find.  Great pick

ESPN have him as an ILB; not sure if that is where he'll end up but feels like a backup for Reddick

SO we traded again? did we just give up the 2 6th rd picks we got for our 5th to trade up in the 6th?  Or what did we get/lose

A DE that runs a sub 4.4.   That’s something to work with.
