    2024 NFL Draft 4th through 7th round gamethread WITH SPOILERS

    I'm looking for great WRs, no matter what type of profile. If Polk turns about to be great, I'll admit I was wrong. It's not just the speed to me, it's the speed combined with the lack of production until this year. But hope I'm wrong

    I'd give them a B-. The biggest factor being the Maye pick which was an A+ pick but I was worried for a second wouldn't happen. I'd give them a failing grade on day 2. I keep trying to come around on the Polk pick, but I can't. He has a lot of flags in his profile and I didn't like him where he...

    I remember McCourty being a pretty consensus pick. A lot of people wanted Dez Bryant or Demaryius Thomas and were disappointed but he was still a high ranked prospect

    R2/37 Ja’Lynn Polk WR Washington

    I've been critical of the Polk pick, but I don't want to re hash this here. Who do Polk bulls think he comps to in the NFL? I've seen comps to Romeo Doubs, Josh Reynolds and Davante Parker, none of whom excite me, but I would love to see the upside

    Love the Milton pick. Classic Wolfe/Packers. I'm all in on Maye but there's a chance he doesn't work out and taking a long shot QB here with close to no opportunity cost is a great move. For all we know he could be the Kirk Cousins to RG3

    It's an assumption, yes. In my opinion it's a pretty reasonable assumption given that Polk was the 10th receiver picked and DeJean was the 3rd corner and was snapped up 3 picks later by an excellent front office and was widely given high marks by most sources. Is it possible that the Pats...

    This is mostly my thought process. When I say BPA, I'm not suggesting we pull a Falcons and take a Penix. Or draft a RB or something. But to be a great team, we'll need 2 CBs. We'll need multiple D Linemen. We'll need multiple receivers and multiple LTs. I get that WR and LT are currently the...

    Of course it isn't. But it also might not happen. The more you remain focused on need, the less you are willing to take fallers because they may not coincide with what you need. For all we know, next year a different position could fall that we don't have on our list of needs. The advantage of...

    The goal is to field a competitive team, but in what year? Is the question. Even if we suddenly acquired the best WR and the best LT in the league tomorrow, we still would not be competing for the Super Bowl. Of course we will need a better WR and LT, but 1. We don't necessarily need them...

    2024 NFL Draft 4th through 7th round gamethread WITH SPOILERS

    My dislike is less for the low ceiling thing (though I don't like it) and more for the fact that it felt like they forced WR and LT. We picked the 10th WR when the 3rd CB and 2nd DT was on the board who are widely viewed as impact players. Reiss said that people around the league (not just media...

    I think it's totally the opposite. Good to great teams need to compete now and need certainty. We don't need to compete now. Drafting like this is a great idea if we have the burning desire to go 7-10 instead of 5-12 or 4-13

    R3/68 Caedan Wallace OT PSU

    Riddick on ESPN has been high on basically every pick in the draft. When asked what his least favorite pick was, he couldn't answer. There very may well be reasons to like Wallace, but Riddick's opinion means nothing

    Love this pick. Liking day 3 a lot better than day 2

    And DeJean is 18th and Sumataia is 22nd. Look, anyone can go cherry picking sources that have our players looking okay, but I don't know anyone who had Polk as the BPA and Reiss points out that most think it's a reach
