WR's
Comparing the combine results and rankings of all these guys, here's what stood out to me:
1st Rounders DeVante Parker - Grade 6.18 - Strengths Consistently plays with outstanding body control. Soft hands and elite concentration are his calling cards. Credited with just three drops since 2012 Best pick at 1.18 Amari Cooper - Grade 7.0 - Only WR with 10" hands. This guy tore up the SEC. One recent mock had him going 10th to the Rams. If he's still there, I say we jump up and get him. 2nd rounders: Chris Conley - Grade 5.48 - 9 7/8" hands. Tall receiver lacking blazing speed but showcasing enough acceleration to create separation when challenging upfield. Jaelen Strong - Grade 5.8 - 9" hands. Good combination of height, weight and arm length for the position. Former high school basketball player who knows how to keep defenders on his hip. Unknown DGB - Grade 5.68 - 9" hands. "I think the consistent problems for Josh Gordon are going to leak over and hurt his draft stock. He couldn't keep himself out of trouble, had no structure growing up and didn't take coaching at Missouri. He's tall and fast and has good hands, but he can't be trusted. Why would you take a guy like that before the third day?" -- NFC director of personnel

Cooper may have 10" hands but he isn't as consistent of a pass catcher as White or Parker are. He's had more ugly drops than he should for a top WR prospect. He also isn't nearly as good at making contested catches as those other two are.

We didn't trade up for Brandin Cooks or Odell Beckham. Why on earth would anyone assume Dorsey is going to trade up for White or Cooper?
If anything, this is the draft to trade down in the first and still pick up the same guy. Go from 18 to around 23-25, and you can still get a right tackle or first round talent WR. Pick up an extra pick in the third, which is apparently the only place we know how to draft anyway (apologies to Russell Wilson). |

Put me in there as trading down as well, we should have a decent pick if we are looking for DT, and most of the OT are projected as moving to OG anyway.
If we cannot land one of top 3 WOs there is not going to be much of a difference maker at 18th spot we can about the same 4 to 5 picks later. If I am the GM I would be talking up some players RBs WOs, pash rushers that fall within 18th spot and hope we can hook in team for a extra 3rd draft pick. That would give us say 4 picks in the top 100 players to chose off the big board OL/DB/DT/WO/. Pray same teams has their hooks on some player and will take him at 18th.

Most GMs don't believe it though. They have too much confidence in their ability to pick players to do this. New England is the only team that appears to do this on a somewhat regular basis (as far as I have noticed)...hasn't worked out too badly for them. I remember reading about this a while back. It occurs to me that this might work for the first round, but I'm sure there are diminishing returns and a point where you might even want to start trading up. |

I'm starting to think that we'll probably draft a couple of WRs in the 2nd to 5th round range.

Trading down hasn't really worked out that we'll for the Pats either. Until recent drafts, they've been shitty drafters

If you draft shitty, you ABSOLUTELY want more picks - because that's just more chances of getting lucky. |

At the time of the draft, these guys don't have hindsight to determine anything. So, better, meaning performance Of draftee? Amount of years of service? |
