I don't understand wasting a 1st round pick on a WR...
We had 2 1000+yrd WRs and very promising young talent, not to mention we are looking at the best passing offense in the NFL.

This draft is rich in talent on the front 7, we should load up as much as possible.

How many times did we have 3rd and long and we had no one who could go out, physically match up, block out against a DB and grab the big reception to keep a drive going or even score?!?

We can move the ball up and down between the 20's with the best of them...

But we often struggled in 3rd and longs and in the red zone on particularly crucial conversions and it showed in the W-L column...

And this is why you grabbed the rarer talent; I'd have have a number of rotational, younger guys on defense; guys that will still be there in later rounds...

But since age has caught up with Colston and the Graham trade, we haven't had that defense killer that kept drives going or that jumpball red zone threat..

And to think we could have had Mathews, Philly got a reciever there If anything with Philly in a bad state I would seriously look at getting him by offering a pick .Colston 2.0

sell me on him .
First round talent sure but top 15?
huge gamble on upside?

I just did not see it on the field on a consistent level because IMO he is a media hype darling

He is a play maker, not just the upside. From what I read he has a good motor and doesn't give up on plays, which typically guys his size do. Is he top 15? Maybe, I wouldn't be disappointed with the pick.

I know he can make the highlight reels but I have seen games were he disappears all together. I worry about his football IQ. He appears to be a bit slow in read react ability IMO. One thing to be overally aggressive and over run play. It is another to just show up late on a regular clip. Maybe more playing time and coaching can change it. If it does he will be a beast. But in the first round, this high I would pause. At this point in the draft IMO that is a huge flaw in his game. The draft interview would make or break this kid for me.

There is always a concern I have DL and OL players that play against mostly spread offenses in college. They all need more coaching to understand the differences in the pro game. So maybe I am more skeptical and critical with these players

That is the key for me.

We have seen physical talent like his before, but if he can't play the game intelligently it won't matter.

Hey Hagan714,
Give your impressions of Carl Nassib DE - Penn State.

I also like Jarran Reed (Alabama- DT), Myles Jack -UCLA OLB (he can COVER).

Think Reed will go in the 2nd? He does the dirty work and thats what we need.
