I addressed WR and EDGE in the 2nd round...because it's one of many plausible scenarios. This particular mock Hutch/Thibs went in the top 3...so i traded back.
Pickens and Eberketie fill the need if the board doesn't fall the way you want it to. This draft is loaded at WR.
All opinions are welcome, especially the negative ones. But don't act like EDGE/WR weren't addressed just because they weren't in the first round.
"All opinions are welcome, especially the negative ones, but I will call you an idiot if you disagree."
I am well aware you took guys in the 2nd round. This is just a very underwhelming draft for me. That's all. It doesn't mean it can't work out. Any draft can work out if the players work out.
I just think that in a nutshell, when you're trying to rebuild a roster, taking a LB and a CB in the top 10 is terrible resource management, especially the way this defense is run. Taking two top-10 picks on defense and neither one being an edge rusher makes me want to vomit.
If we don't get an edge in the top 10, I'm totally good with Ebikitie in the 2nd round. I said I hate the Pickens pick, but that's more because I want a more sure thing with that pick. I think Pickens has a high chance of busting for a 2nd-round pick. He has upside to be the best WR in the draft, which is why he's likely a 2nd-round pick, but I don't really want a boom/bust guy with that pick, unless we're doubling down at WR in another round later.
Also, I just saw you drafted a punter. That might pee me off more than drafting a LB and the 3rd-best CB in the top 10. Drafting two punters in a 3-year when your team is 13-36 under your watch (and 6-27 when you've had a full offseason) is like taking Christian Hackenberg as your QB of the future.
