No where close to the speed Graham had. No way he is anything near Jimmy in his prime. But that doesn't mean he can't be a traditional Shockey type. He's huge, big in red zone. Probably blocks well too

Well, maybe we can send Warford for a Day 3 pick?

Still have SMU's James Proche (comparable Lance Moore), Wash St's Dezmon Patton (c. to Colston), Tulane's Darnell Mooney, Boise St's John Hightower (c. Meachem)...

But nobody is talking about LSU players here. Look at how much they gave up for one player. It's crazy. I don't know where this "stacked roster" argument is coming from. Like every player on the team is a star? You build the future by stocking up on young talent. Rosters turnover, every year. That's what free agency and the salary cap does.

pats always do

Well, Jimmy didn't do much when he left NO. Jimmy didn't have this guys resume coming into the league either. I'm just going to trust the process.

Very true. We just won’t know if it was worth it until he hits the field. The unfortunate thing is how harshly he’ll forever be judged by fans because of the trade up.

ChrisXVI · 04-25-2020, 12:36 AM

I will say this though... Deepest WR draft ever and we didn’t get a single one?!

saintfan · 04-25-2020, 12:39 AM

So we gave up the rest of the draft to get this guy? Wow. Talk about pressure. Poor kid. I hope he doesn't suck.

has nothing to do with trusting anything. Jimmy Graham was an athlete. He was freakish fast for a TE and tall. Yeah this kids tall, but that's the end of the similarities. Jimmy wasn't a great blocker. This kid will probably do better with blocking. They're nothing alike.

Jimmy was a hybrid
