Sorry but I don’t see it that way. Detroit moved up to get Alabama’s guy right after us. If we wanted Olave (or another top rated WR) then we had to move up. Otherwise we take the same tackle at 16 rather than 19. Just my take of course.

Jameson is the better Prospect

Maybe. Maybe not. We'll likely not know for some time as he may not even be able to play this season. We are wanting to win NOW, not nope a player can contribute the following season.

That's your opinion mines is that if you trade up that damn high and give up what you gave up you get the best guy Jameson Williams was the better guy pre injury he was THE #1 WR prospect. If winning nkw was the goal trading away draft picks for a first rd wr was too much

Maybe so, but that’s not the point. Neither he or Olave would have been available at 16. That’s why both Det and we moved up. Otherwise at 16 we are drafting a WR with a perceived much lower ceiling.

Who cares Olave doesn't equal SB. ANY of those WRs taken in the first would have just fine.

That was the expected scenario; then, as DA stated "nothing surprises me in the NFL draft"; WRs started moving earlier than expected...

S Kyle Hamilton fell out the Top 10, and Ravens were rumored to take Penning that early - hooray for our team...

Malik Willis was a supposed Top 12 pick; SEA surprised and focused on that terrible offensive line with Cross, safe, but smart move...

So Saints made the jump on their top rated WR with pretty good trade value per the Rich Hill trade chart - modern day version of Jimmy Johnson innovation...

Then, Jordan Davis jumped into the Top 15 despite some teams having reservations about his discipline...

Chargers getting Justin Herbert, already a Top 5 QB, some protection at G to protect their greatest asset...

And Penning conveniently fell to us at 19; and we got one big, nasty bully; and as I said in previous post (trade chart), we got our two guys, just not as we expected...

Chris doesn't block he's actually pretty bad at it on tape. DA idk man definitely let some meat on the bone.

You making empty statements regarding my takes is no better add substance if you have a difference of opinion or is your take more emotional ?

Trading up to grab Olave cost us on the back end Chris HAS to be 1a 1b WR with all if what we gave up. Saints were to cut up on the speed Bo Melton Tyquan alot spedd demons in the draft Could have drafted Treylon at 16 and one of those other guys in third with our 2nd 3rd that we traded away for Chris
