Quality RB's can be had rounds 2 through 4. The NFL is a passing league; get a stud WR or OL in the first round.

Tate is a better draft prospect than him or Emeka Egbuka
JSN led the FBS with 1600+ yards on 95 catches with 9 TDs his sophomore year. Playing next to Olave and Garrett Wilson
4.4 guy with elite testing in the athletic measures Tate has put up 121 catches,1872 yards and 14 TDs in three seasons.
What makes him a better prospect? Tate’s a good WR in a bad WR draft

Lemon has been compared to JSN and Amon Ra St Brown a bit in comparisons.

I see a lot of AMSB. Don’t think he’ll have the speed and athleticism of JSN. I also see some Nacua though lemon is obviously smaller
I like Lemon though and think he could be a tone setter at WR. Not sure if he’s worthy of 1.8 but I wouldn’t melt

Ya, like what if Lemon is 5’10” & runs a 4.55?
I like the guy but his long speed will determine how high he goes

JSN draft profile:
quote:
Smith-Njigba is a possession slot receiver who lacks the shake to separate underneath and the speed to run past defenses. He’s tough in the middle of the defense and has proven he can make catches in congestion. Smith-Njigba will need to fine-tune his route running to give himself his best chance to succeed at the next level. It is impossible to ignore his monster finish to the 2021 season, and he has starting slot potential, but the speed concerns coupled with an injury-plagued 2022 season threaten to negatively impact his draft stock.
...and JSN was the 20th pick, as the FIRST WR (talk about a bad WR class!). I have seen zero projections of Tate that low.
Tate draft profile:
quote:. NFL.com
Ascending “Z” receiver who continues to step out from the shadow of Ohio State teammate Jeremiah Smith. Tate has good size but would benefit from more play strength. He builds momentum quickly on intermediate and deep routes, utilizing speed and tempo to pressure cornerbacks. He can win over the top on verticals or separate over the first two levels with route savvy and separation burst. Tate tracks throws at top speed and makes his adjustments to run under them. He combines timing, body control and catch radius to dominate air space and consistently lands on the winning side of contested catches. Pass catching comes effortlessly with soft, strong hands and he consistently works back on throws to keep ballhawks from hawking. Tate displays rare polish for a player his age and has the talent to become a heralded pro within his first three seasons.
Read those profiles - which sounds like the better draft prospect? The one with "starting slot potential", or the one with "the talent to be a heralded pro within his first three seasons"?

It would be hard to melt about taking Love because of what an exciting player he is but holy shite that’s just not the play that early for a team like the saints that are littered with weak spots.

Well he only played 3 games bc of a bad hamstring his final year at OSU. It was also a stronger overall draft class as far as blue chippers go.
Idk. He’s now led the nation and the NFL in receiving. Only 16% of his snaps in the slot this year. I think the draft profile didn’t project very well. Tate has his work cut out for him to live up to JSN status

Marshawn Lynch?
or won with the team that drafted him?

Because I believe that it can be fixed substantially cheaper in FA vs other positions of need.
If we pay out the arse for olave and I think we will it’s going to SUCK if he goes back to never being on the field again and we’re stuck with a stalllion for a rb that can’t do anything for a lack of a passing game. I’d prefer a FA signing (like Tyler Allegier) and add Tyson or Tate to the offense ..insurance for any olave issues after his presumed deal and if they’re all healthy I could really see that offense humming. A lot of hypotheticals here but just spitballing as to why I’m anti drafting a rb and very much pro WR.

Doesn't matter, they will move goal posts to try and save their shitty point after getting called out for it being shitty

It’s just another example, Lynch wasn’t drafted by Seattle.
It’s an idiotic idea to take a running back top 10. History has proven time and time again it doesn’t work out.
The examples you gave kinda prove that point.

Too many people mocking Love to the Saints so far.
The Saints typically pick someone we don't see coming.

Why doesn’t it work out? You think drafting Barkley, Bijan, Mccaffrey etc were the reason their teams weren’t good?
The Giants haven’t been good in 15 years. Saquon led the league in yards as a rookie and they went 5-11. The colts and bears picked in the top 10 but made the playoffs. So if they took Barkley, it’s magically a good idea
Good RBs are going to be good. Bad teams are bad

Jordyn Tyson at 19, Keldric Faulk at 20, and Peter Woods at 30. That's the lowest I've seen any of those guys projected.
You’ll start seeing that more often. Tyson has legit injury concerns. Faulk and Woods just simply aren’t that good. As we get deeper into the draft process, you’ll start seeing those two in particular fall pretty far. They’re not bad players.
Just wayyyy overhyped

Exactly. You could argue CMC and Barkley have absolutely carried their team’s offenses since they got to their new teams. I’d probably throw Gibbs in there too.
If you want to win a Super Bowl, statistics say being an effective run team is a great recipe to do it. If Loomis spends big on FA to upgrade the interior there are worse picks to make than Love. I think with Moore, Shough and an improved interior, I think Love would have a lot of success.

Eh. Underhill usually pegs the top 2-3 guys they want with a couple of weeks left until the draft. That’s really the only thing to pay attention to regarding the draft.
I will say that with them signing Blackmon, I don’t think they’ll take Downs. I think they’d prioritize Bailey if he fell to them. But if that guy doesnt fall, and I doubt he will, I think they’ll take Lemon or Love. Lemon will start leapfrogging Tyson consistently as we get deeper into the process

I’ve been wanting to pick a skill player in the first round but if Bain is available at 8 I’m running over a child to get to the podium
