I also see us a taking a defensive player or OT at 22 and then trading back from 28 into the early second to go WR Doesn’t Williams have a torn ACL? If they draft anyone who is injured (again)…. How about Burkes, Watson, or Pierce? Pierce is a burner. Of course, you’re right on thinking value is there early second round. Lots of options. Perhaps they draft 3 WR but one can be very late for depth / development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Take a premium talent that falls at 22 and then trade back at 28. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha I totally forgot about this. That **** was hilarious (immature) esp since it was a Vols QB. 🤣🤣 Pickens is a stud tho. He made a couple big plays vs Bama in the SECCG and Natty where he looked like his pre-ACL injury self again. I’ll be stoked if we draft him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him bad. A chance to land a superstar without having to invest a high pick to do so. He's more talented than Justin Jefferson and I was one of JJ's biggest supporters here (even though I pushed for Love). Pickens is special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat&Beer Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Opening night scenario: 1st round will be over. Packers won't have a WR. Pickens and Watson will still be out there. Packer fans will be climbing walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Every year scenario: Fans that come and negatively critique the draft will disappear during the season and only reemerge for the next draft/offseason and completely ignore their past claims. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being critical of the general strategy is fine. But anybody who says that a particular pick is a bad pick is essentially saying they are better at judging talent than the professionals. Unless they can back it up with proven experience in the field then it is arrogance of the extreme level. You can not like a pick, the kind of player or the direction we are going with. But anyone who calls a pick a bad pick should be called out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to say never, but I think it's not going to happen. I still think the second round is the most likely. Before signing Watkins, I was thinking the ideal would be to double dip in the second round on the position. With Watkins, it would lead me to think that if the board fell right, I would rather we got our guy with 22 and that would be it. Maybe a flyer on an athlete around the 4th/5th another MVS type pick to go with them. But there probably isn't room on the roster for a stack of receivers so personally would go a bit more premium if the board fell. Or given the lack of any real investment in the position maybe we do just completely devalue the position and run mainly two TE/two RB sets. But we would need to improve the TE room to do that.

But anyone who calls a pick a bad pick should be called out. This statement, while not untrue, can be misleading. You have to be so careful with language here. For example, there is a huge difference between the statements "this is a bad pick" and "I don't like this particular pick", but people typing an opinion here can easily use one phrase, when they mean the other. Also, some posters can read 'don't like' and react to it as though it said 'bad pick', when it doesn't. It doesn't mean a poster is displaying extreme arrogance, even if they use the term 'bad pick'. More likely, they are guilty of nothing more than being a bit imprecise in their language. This is a site for opinions. Everyone has them, and they can differ hugely. If we always deferred to the professionals there would be no opinions on this site. Each of us has to judge what they read for themselves and the professionals are not automatically right. Better informed, yes, but they make mistakes too, plenty of them, so they are not infallible and opinions that question their decisions are not invalidated by being made with less information.

That's fair enough. There is a thin line between 'that is a bad pick' and 'I don't like a pick Rightly or wrongly, on the internet a lot of the time, it comes across as the first. Most of the time when people say definitively that a player is a bad choice, they are ignorant of the reasons why a player was chosen and why a player wasn't chosen. And then annoyingly when they are 'right' it gets brought up repeatedly for ten years when in reality it was probably pure luck they were right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you there. "I was right" posts are usually irritating, even if they were right. Makes you want to pat them on the back hard enough to make them cough and then say "Oh sorry, did something go down the wrong way ?"
