    Sounds like AD Mitchell is destined to be a Steeler.

    I can see it now… chiefs grab Worthy with the 32nd pick and wreak havoc again with all star TE and speed demon outside. It’s just what they do.

    Agreed. I know we got Diggs, but we will lose him or Collins next year and be right back where we were before getting Diggs. So do you want a WR now to develop from WR4 to WR3 out of the deepest draft class in history? Or do you want to go into next years draft with a weaker class and everyone knowing you need a WR so you need to reach?

    I don't anticipate a trade up to the 1st round but I'll be watching anyway.

    Maybe it gets exciting and players fall that are potential Texans targets.

    Then Dallas will select Zach Frazier. Frazier was thought of as a 1st round talent for quite a while. I don't see them trading up, because they want to use their 2nd round pick on a RB.

    100% agreed. You would rather take one this draft and get value at a lower pick and have one under cost control.

    Good teams have a top 8 receiver, and roll the dice on a cost controlled receiver - see Bengals, 49ers, Minny, etc. You want to be getting better the AVV.

    Don't care who we pick in rounds 2 or 3, but judging by this regimes track record...

    This player might be a 5x All-Pro and/or HOF player.

    I trust in Nick to do the right thing, but I hope we don't move up, get 2 quality players in the 2nd round, we still have holes to fill and depth to acquire..............lets go Texans and its gonna be so nice to not be stressed on Day 1 of the draft, just gonna sit back and revel in what they have done up to this point.

    So you would rather have a bunch of depth players, rather than 2 difference makers?

    Kinda.. I think we added the difference makers in FA. If we wanted more, instead of depth, why not keep the 1-23 pick? I don't think Caserio traded back knowing he was going to get Diggs, so I gotta assume he was already happy with picking in the 2nd. He might move up 33-41, but I doubt he goes back into the first. Even if you add Diggs, I think it would be an overpay to do so.

    That being said, I'm also one of the one's that still wants a WR, I just like this class too much, and I feel like the 2nd round guys are all the elite slot guys which is what we need anyways. The "depth" you can get in the 2nd round could also be difference makers, because not only is this a pretty deep draft at a lot of positions, but the top-heavy aspect of QB and OT which we dont need are going to cause some top talent at other positions to fall for us.

    I also wish we kept 1-23 because Bowers is the main one I would have wanted to move up for.

    Don’t like this at all. Not with that injury.
    Feel like Demeco is showing a little nepotism with the Bama player there.
    DeJean and others are better prospects to trade up for in the secondary
