Bianconero Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 5 minutes ago, rampantjet said: This may sound insane but im starting to warm to thr idea of going WR, in the 1st and 2nd, then addressing OL with several players from there on. Reason being is that I don't have a large gap between thre OTs that will be there in the 2nd and the ones there in the 3rd. Guys like Peart, Barch, Charles should be there and they all have things to really like about them. At WR however I thunk there will be a drop of since so many are going to go early. If we end up with Ruggs/ lamb/ Jeudy then pair them with an Aiyuk/Hamler/DPJ/ or even Laviska or Higgins who are falling. That could change our offense for st least the next 4 years. I'm starting to think more about this approach as well, especially considering Douglas' late-OL accumen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.O Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I think JD is gonna have high grades on Wirfs and Becton, think they’re 1A and 1B on our board followed by CeeDee and Ruggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre FA I had OL as a bigger need. So for me I have turned to wanting a WR (where all 3 of Lamb, Jeudy and Ruggs are worthy of the 11th pick) more so for us. I also think all 3 of those don’t have as much busy to them as the OLineman. I only see Wills as a slam dunk. Wirfs just needs some coaching and Thomas’s floor is high but his ceiling isn’t overly high. Becton for me is not worth the 11th pick with how raw he is. So at this stage I’d be happy with any of... Jeudy, Lamb, Ruggs, Wills, Wirfs, Thomas. And in that order. I just like the combo of WR at 11 and OT at 48 better than OT at 11 and WR at 48. NFL.com uses a similar grading scale to what Joe is using. Using their ratings, a theoretical board for us may look like this. Young Okudah Chalsson (DJ has him lower though) Wills Lamb Jeudy Becton Henderson (DJ has him lower) Ruggs Hmm. Jeremiah once mocked Chalsson to us. Hopefully that’s not the case. Does seem like receiver is very likely though. Have to imagine LB, QB and DT are off the board early.

The crazy one that's been knocking around my head is Ruggs then Hamler. That would be SOOOO much speed for teams to have to account for, and so much yac where each guy can house it any time they touch the ball. Then take Darrynton Evans in the 5th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wouldn't be against it at all. I combo I'd love with that scenario would be Lamb at 11 and Hamler at 48. But as I said that seems kinda far fetched.

Normally I would but the idea of Ruggs and someone like Aiyuk would give us some insane weapons to pair with Herndon, Bell, and Crowder. Hope JD could find some late round OL help though because those weapons would be useless without an OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.O Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I’m not a fan of the back to back WR idea but if we did I would want guys with contrasting styles. Ruggs/Pittman or Lamb/Hamler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both guys with some size and contested catch ability, and both are great with the ball in their hands. Shenault's injuries do scare me but he'd be a sure fire first rounder without them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDotNova Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Got to say, it’s looking real good that we got Douglas a year ago and not after this season. We’d be in trouble trying to work in a new GM with all the Coronavirus limitations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyHectorFan Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Question for the forum, which position (WR or OT) do you think can come in and make an immediate impact quicker if there are no rookie camp, OTAs and possibly a shortened training camp? And if you feel one way or the other, should that be taken into consideration picking round one? This entire offseason will probably be wiped out and just wondering how everyone felt about how that effects pick #11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OL, Can open more holes for Leveon to run which makes our Run game and play action better and can pass protect for Sam which gives him more time to find receivers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any WR we get is going to need camp to build chemistry and timing with Sam in Gase's system. OLs need to mesh too, but for the most part it's knowing your assignment and putting on the ground. That can be covered with tape, diagrams, and zoom conferences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
