LOLogicI think the teams generally have a pretty good handle on draft position compared to the mock draft community once you get this low.

Probably not. WRs were gonna move early tonight.A) ESPN was literally 5 minutes behind
B) Cards made a MUCH better trade
C) Couldn’t we have drafted him at 68?
Ladd predominantly lined up out wide at GA, 118 snaps to 34 in the slot. He is a Z. His best route is the out.I don't think they play the same spot.
I think Ladd is seen as a slot only or slot predominantly guy, Polk is probably going to be a Z, he's a couple inches taller, 15 pounds or so heavier.
Maybe they had no intel ATL wanted to move up and ATL targeted the Cards pick.Why tf don’t you just make the same trade with Atlanta?
I'm not saying he was a slot in college, I'm saying most draft people think he's a slot, probably partially because he's well under 6', and his vert is solid but not elite.Ladd predominantly lined up out wide at GA, 118 snaps to 34 in the slot. He is a Z. His best route is the out.
Yes makes no sense why they didn't just trade with ATL.A) ESPN was literally 5 minutes behind
B) Cards made a MUCH better trade

Probably because the Polk drop is tomorrow.I have never heard of Ja’Lynn Polk. Am I the only one?
Top 10% is blah?
Like his teammate Odunze, Polk checks a lot of boxes at wide receiver. Inside-outside versatility? Check. Good hands? Check. Smooth athleticism with some glimpses of a deeper bag of tricks as a route runner? Check. Willingness as a blocker? Check.
Polk has above-average-to-good size, speed, foot quickness and contact balance along with everything listed above. He might not have true No. 1 option upside, but he can carve out a role in a lot of different types of offenses as a No. 2 option and become a reliable target-eater no matter what’s asked of him. He’s the ultimate useful type of wide receiver.
We heard all day teams were talking to NE about moving up. Zero percent chance ATL would have called AZ and not NE.Maybe they had no intel ATL wanted to move up and ATL targeted the Cards pick.
That still doesn't make top 10% blah though. Mitchell has other issues, including motivation. Polk doesn't.Mitchell was like 9.88
Mitchell was 9.97 actually.That still doesn't make top 10% blah though. Mitchell has other issues, including motivation. Polk doesn't.
There's so many quality WRs out there that no one at the point is gonna be universally loved?
Kinda curious about this myself.There must be some bad intel on Adonai Mitchell. Why would teams pass on him for the Polks of the world?
Mitchell is falling because he’s got a rep for immaturity, not really a guy a rebuilding program is gonna dip into hereOverdraft big time.

I don’t see the Bourne comp…
Diabetic issues raising flagsKinda curious about this myself.
Something to be said for being good at catching the football.Mitchell was like 9.88
They whole motivation thing? Maybe his interview answers on that weren't the best.Kinda curious about this myself.
As the step father of a type 1 diabetic who competes athletically. It really screws with them. She shuts down at times and if she goes low or high during a game its a mess. She tried wearing a pump and it didnt work out well while playing. It also causes a lot of other shit that comes off similar to some of the issue for Mitchell.Mitchell is falling because he’s got a rep for immaturity, not really a guy a rebuilding program is gonna dip into here
He has a rep for not working hard, taking plays off, quitting on routes, etc. etc. And it's not like he was a superstar multi-year producer in college.Kinda curious about this myself.
And moving around the board to get in position to take advantage of opportunitiesEagles are really good at drafting
