If we had the #1 overall pick

Fair enough.

I'm okay with a receiver that has size later in draft, we desperately need one for dink and dunk offense. We don't use tight ends enough for me to feel comfortable with drafting a tight end later in draft (I got Jordan Reed on my mind in 3rd round)

Haley always had most physical receivers on his team, ours? Bleh. If he's here to stay, he's likely to request for a big, physical receiver.

Personally, all the names you mentioned- I see them gone before our 2nd round pick but hopefully not haha.

Point being, my argumentative approach is that 43M claimed a receiver isn't a top 3 need, I disagree that's all.

Emphasize on "tight ends", not tight end.

.... no. Spaeth wasn't a good blocker. Occasionally he's get a good block... but no he was never a good blocker.

It is debateable that haley would have utlitized more TE sets if we had more talents but our wr corp is good as it already is... just that its not a good fit, makes sense?

So hypothetically haley will adapt to our offense's strength which is finding holes in defense and throw there and then a high pick of wr or te isn't necessarily.

If haley wants to stay true to his offense, we need a bigger te/wr and early on because prospects of those kind is a high demand, not like you can find them later on in draft, no.

So I really hope that this draft will be an indictation of what will be changed next season because if we don't have that kind of draft and team remains same, no way we enter playoff any different. Just my 2 cents.

If you want a draft based on how Haley has the offense...

1)Warmack OG
2)Dion Sims TE
3)(Insert plodding RB here)

Alanfanecafan... no. Even if chase warmack is a very good guard, its completely unnecessary. Our O-line already are invested. For all 5 positions, even if left guard is upgradable.

Dion Sim, nope. Wouldn't touch him within first 3 rounds, he's a football player who could dominate big ten due to his size but wouldn't get away with it in nfl. I'd rather have Spaeth. Don't think he's not coming out anyway.

Your mock scare me, sir.

Ah yeah...

Personally, I am not sure how would Marcus Gilbert do at RG. If they give him a shot at that, great. I'd like to see more of Pouncey-Legursky at LG-C.

while that'... somewhat true, but playing aside Pouncey and DeCastro Legursky's size should be less exposedly. No?
