You can watch Burks career and find out in probably two seasons, whether this was the right trade to make. They were clearly going after a WR with the second 1st round pick. Since that's the case, I'm happier with Brown than I would have been with Burks. But I felt they could have, should have addressed either the CB or S spot with that second first round pick. I'm good with Brown over Burks too. Proven player vs Howie failing at another WR draft pick. My argument is zooming out to the draft overall. I like Brown, I like Davis and I expected them to draft Davis for weeks. There were other guys I also wanted in the 1st. They traded a month ago with the Saints and got future picks, already looking to replace Hurts next year in a better QB class which is fine. But the master of trades Howie could have got into the late 1st round either by trading up, or waiting til draft day to make trade backs to collect future pick while still getting talent in this draft. They have holes in the secondary and have not drafted any star defensive players in decades other than 2 DTs.

For that pick, if I wanted to go WR my pick would have been Christian Watson, his 4.36 speed and 38'' vertical brings more to the offense than what a pedestrian 4.5 WR brings. You have to respect a 6'4'' WR running a 4.36, that speed opens up the underneath for the RBs, TEs and other WRs. Moreover, my money is on a 6'4'' with a 38'' vertical when it comes to the contested catch. As far as the veteran presence goes, I think it's over rated when it comes to positions, sure you want a veterans on the team but you don't need veterans for each position. You need to get off the 40 time. Not every great receiver runs a 4.4. Just among some of the top current WRs: Adams ran a 4.56. Hopkins was 4.57. Kupp was 4.62. Diggs was 4.46.

You build with the draft and YOU HAVE TO sprinkle in veteran players through free agency. What do you think a draft hit rate is? Do you realize that half of the players drafted last night, will be considered busts in three years? HALF. Forever is a long time, but there are organizations that have fielded competitive teams for longer periods than others depending on the coach at the time.. To name a few, Pats, 49ers, Cowboys, Steelers, Bills, It's not accomplished the way Coward Roseman is going about it, those teams listed above had enough courage to stay put and make good selections on draft, they trade away players for draft picks but they don't trade draft picks for players. No doubt about it, there are a lot of incompetent GMs in the NFL, that's why the hit rate is so low. Coward's hit rate on high picks puts him as the leader of the pack when it comes to incompetnt GMs. I'm not saying AJ is a horrible player for for 100m, me no think so. I'll be keeping an eye on Burks but as I said, he wouldn't have been my pick for a WR.

Maybe I'm not understanding your post but we had the number 1 rushing offense last year. Defenses will most definitely be focused on stopping our RB's (just like defenses are focused on stopping Henry), which is going to open things up for Brown and Smith...assuming Hurts can deliver them the ball

Don't be silly, we're talking the receiving game not the running game are we not?? When a QB drops back to pass the CBs are locked their coverage duties, when the WRs are covered the QB bolts the pocket if pressured. When a QB turns to hand the ball off the CBs are in run support mode, ignoring their coverage duties. WRs on teams that are run heavy fair better due to the play action pass because they're supporting the run......oops, it's a pass, ADVANTAGE WR!!

Um...my initial response to you didn't say anything about the running game. YOU were the one that brought it up. I'm afraid we're just going to have to agree to disagree here. ☮️
April 29, 20223 yr 9 hours ago, nipples said: You think Howie is done making trades? I don’t. He’ll get another pick. Whether that’s trading future picks or maybe moving Dillard and/or Reagor. I'm sure we have some players we are willing to trade, but somebody has to be willing to trade for them. Honestly, I think Howie is done making trades. We can't possibly be in a position to "move up" now since our capital is depleted after just the 1st round. So we may have to decide about getting a good player currently available at the time of our pick or moving back to gain an extra late pick.

April 30, 20223 yr Is this guy a team player or a diva? I'm guessing a team player, since they wanted him. Howie seems really smart about that.

They could have selected a receiver, saved tens of millions, and kept the 3rd for a DB, Zyon McCollum and Tariq Woolen are still on the board but without a 4th you can forget about selecting them now.......GREAT MOVE Coward Roseman!! Then I find that we gave away two of our 5ths to move up 2 spots.......who the hell needs draft picks anyhow.
