So yeah, let's wait until the fifth for a WR3.

I think Wilson/Austin/Hurns can fill that WR3 role. We have way too many needs (TE, DT, S, etc) to have the luxury of drafting a WR in rounds 2-4.

Thats a silly comparison. There are way more undrafted free agents than fifth round picks. A higher percentage of fifth round picks stick in the NFL than undrafted free agents.

What’s the breakdown for starters?

this is great if we want 53 punt gunners.

I think we’ll cut Hurns. He’s not worth the $5M pricetag.

I agree and it may sound cold hearted but he had a pretty devestating injury. I don't know if he will even be as good as he was last season coming back from that injury.

So, assume Beasley hits the road. You still want to push off on a WR until the 5th?

I wouldn't be upset if we used as high as a third on one. We need more weapons on offense.
You take BPA every round.

Pretty simple.

There's basically not a single position on the team absent maybe RB that we shouldn't feel good about selecting with our first pick. Maybe linebacker as well.

Most organizations use the first 2 picks for need.

Maybe LBer? Hell we are probably better at LBer than RB.

Depth wise, sure. But I think the premise of his post was about the starters. And that you don't want to take backups in the second round. And that's exactly what we'd be doing if we took a RB. At least at LBer, there is a spot where a 2nd rounder could step in alongside LVE and Smith. But LBer would be waaaaay down the list of where I'd like to go in the second round. And RB is further down than that.

We use three LBers so minimally I'd say a backup RB could get just as many snaps. But yeah I'd be upset of we took either in the second round. They would basically have no path for future advancement with extremely talented guys who are young above them on the depth chart.

Ideally we will get a DT/TE/S

Yes, it is a rarely used position and this draft is bad with them anyways in terms of starting caliber players. They are much better off going after that guy in free agency...like I suggested.

That’s how I feel as well. And it’s not like Hurns was playing at some elite level. He was a JAG.

Certainly he's made enough money in this league to pay for a damn car.
