I think this is by far our best draft by Dorsey.
Our top 3 picks should be competing for a starting job day one and starting by the end of the year. Even our second CB should be contributing heavily by the end of the year and between him and Gaines I'm confident one of them will be able to take over the no 2 role if Smith leaves as a FA...

Who would you have taken in round 2? Here were the picks after Morse.
Ronald Darby-Drafted Peters 1st rd Nate Orchard-Already have enough pass rushers right now. Jordan Phillips-Not a big fan of this guy Jake Fisher-Not as good as Morse IMO. He's weak. Ameer Abdullah-Don't need a RB Maxx Williams-I would say this is a legit guy we could have taken. Senzquez Golson-Midget nickel CB? Would rather have Steven Nelson. Rob Havenstein-Can't draft a fatty, plus we have enough tackles. Markus Golden-See Nate Orchard Ty Sambrailo-See Rob Havenstein. No fatty's for CP amirite? Randy Gregory-**** no. Ali Marpet-Can't draft a fatty amirite?! Quinten Rollins-See Ronald Darby Frank Clark-See Nate Orchard. Also had huge character concerns of abuse. Jordan Richards-Slow safety. Don't think he fits us at all. So Maxx Williams?

I'm really liking the Conley pick, especially given his SPARQ score (a measure of overall athleticism) was in the 99th percentile for NFL WRs.

I understand the Morse pick from a positional standpoint, but the player himself?

i'm really excited for peters, nelson and conley. i've had a huge crush on peters for a very long time now. i'm just now coming around to conley more, i thought he was a workout warrior, but after watching his game, the guy has some freakish aj green like body control and has a great set of hands on him.
also very excited about nelson. i think the guy could end up being an even better version of brandon flowers. he has the same temperament, but he's an even better tackler and has more size and strength. i'm not a huge fan of the morse pick, i thought it was foolish to pass up on jalen strong for him. also thought there were better center prospects available. i really love his punch but he has a very weak anchor. ive seen defensive ends such as zadarius smith successfully bull rush him, and i really wonder if his lower body is strong enough to anchor against an nfl caliber dt. that being said though i do think he could develop into a really good interior lineman if he can improve his anchor. the te shag looks very promising as well, i was very surprised when i watched his highlight clip. it wouldnt surprise me if he beats out harris by the end of the season. i would have rather taken strong or gregory in round 2, clemmings round 3 comp, and mcbride at any point after that. but overall we got a nice haul. |

I have similar thoughts on most of the picks. Would prefer to see Morse at RG rather than C. Think Nelson is going to be primarily used in the slot. Wilson is meh but Alexander's intriguing. Really like the O'Shaughnessy pick. Nunez-Rochez looked like he got the majority of his snaps as a shade/1. Curious to see if they use him there or as a 3-technique. I have not watched Brown at all, so no comment.

That was the big problem in not being able to move up in the 2nd. That run on ILB's and Wr's really limited KC. FWIW, I would have preferred Maxx Williams, Fisher and maybe even "reach" on Lockett.

This year the talent was good, the need was there, and once you find out a little about the picks you know exactly what they were thinking. Peters is a CB more like Dale Carter or Dion Sanders. Big playmaking potential, good ball skills, SUPER competitive guy. And just as import he brings swagger and an attitude with him that this secondary needs. Peters energy can bring a lift to everyone in that secondary and our locker room has the experience and character to bring him down when need be. For a while now our secondary has been the little brother that benefited from the play of big-brother pass rush. Peters gives the secondary a guy that QB's fear and throw away from. The Morse pick I can't pretend I'm super excited about but again I can see what they're thinking. He can compete for starting C and if injuries happen he can play G or C. His ideal spot would be C but he solid as a b/u G because he plays strong. On top of all this he's not a guy who could project to a number of spots - he's already done it. You know he's a team player because he's already moved no less than 3 times for his old team. I can see what they're thinking there. Conley is not only a combine freak but provides us with a legit deep threat as a 3rd round pick. It's also a need. This pick checks all the boxes. Talent, need, great value in the round he was selected. Add to that he's a very intelligent guy (read: should learn the offense and his responsibilities quickly) and it's impossible to hear him in an interview and not love the guy. IIRC 810 interviewed him and when asked about his media/journalism major responded that he could use that after his NFL career to perhaps transition to a media job. A guy thinking about life after fooball IN COLLEGE. This kid has his $3it together. In each of these picks the position makes sense, there's a need, and the individual person makes sense. The only guy who wasn't excellent value (much better than where we picked them) was Morse and that's debatable. My frustration with him the past few years was due to feeling like we didn't do this in his first or second draft. This draft is exactly what I was expecting when we hired Dorsey. If we handle the situation right and can manage to sign Houston to a long term deal after the year this offseason will have been flawless. ****ing walk off grand slam of an offseason...

Morse would've definitely been available for one of our 3rd round picks. We'll have to see how Conley plays out I guess.

I loved Lockett and would have loved him here, but I think they really wanted size at WR. Conley is a tall lanky guy with the same speed and the ability to jump and be a redzone target.
I am glad we took him over Lockett
