Pretty good. Don't see a 5th round pick?

Can't complain with that draft really, though I don't like Richardson as much as some of you guys do. Not too sure that Urban makes it to the 5th for us also.

Those of us wanting an upgrade in free agency, within reason, are trying to skip that long process because we're in WIN NOW mode... we don't have time to groom the next big thing on the fly. |

However, a player of Beckham's skill set and physical attributes isn't really going to be able to be had in the FA market. And with Bowe and a healthy Fasano/Kelce, he's not initially needed to be "the man" right off the bat like some other teams. He'll be given a chance to grow in the offense versus having them need him to carry the passing game immediately. |

I'm not as high on him as say Zach Martin or Gabe Jackson, but the Chiefs won't see either of those guys with their third rounder. Richardson is talented and would be a hell of a grab in the third, especially considering that he has the potential to be a four position player, though I think that OG is his best position.

Jenkins - he was more of a lets take a shot at greatness for nothing proposition, a likely longer term experiment depending on how he looked in limited duty... and he's looked pretty damn good I must say, he's a darkhorse no doubt. But finally, what so many of us want is not only a top dog rookie to groom, but skillful VETERAN free agent to ease that transition, make sure we're not just "getting by" at that position while the rook learns the ropes. |

1. Watkins- obvious reasons. He has great tools at his disposal. 2. Odell Beckham- stick him in the slot and let him work his way into a perimeter role from there. In the meantime, I would take him over every nickle corner in the league 9 times out of 10 as a rookie. 3. Brandin Cooks- same thing as Beckham, although I believe he will be his most effective if allowed to work from the slot for his entire career. He should be able to contribute immediately as a slot WR. As for whether or not he could succeed on the outside in the long run, that remains to be seen. 4. Mike Evans- Not a polished receiver by any means but he is a naturally dominant pass catcher, that's something you can't really teach. He'll be fine as a Red Zone target early on. 5. Jordan Matthews- it's his work ethic more than his physical tool set that convinces me of this. He will struggle the most out of these 5 as a rookie but he may also end up being the best when it is all said and done. He can produce from the slot as a rookie but will need a bit more time to come into his own as an outside guy. Of course, this also depends on what kind of offense and QB they are going to be playing with. If you take Watkins, Beckham, Cooks, or Matthews and stick them in the slot for us they will be getting a ton of targets, 2nd only to Bowe. It also really comes down to whether or not they can gain Smith's trust as well. We all saw Smith take more chances with Bowe as the year progressed. I think you can expect that to happen more often this season as he grows even more comfortable. I would put Lee up here if he didn't have that Junior season that he did. |

I'm assuming Gayle is going to transition to OLB.
Overall, not a bad effort for a real dumbass.

Also, Reid never had an impact rookie WR until Desean Jackson came along. After that he seemed to be more willing to trust rookie WRs as evidenced by Maclin in the year following that. Before then, I don't think that Reid ever had a rookie WR who he allowed to start for him. (This is going off of what I heard a while ago from my friend who was an Eagles fan.)
