I think the thrust of Bukowski's comment was GB seems to hit the position early - or drop back to later rounds - bypassing the 2nd round most often. Why? I've no clue.....but it wouldnt surprise me if we nabbed an EDGE in the first....then move up to nail Pickens, Burks etc before they're gobbled up by others! LOL I would imagine that it is just where the edge players go in terms of value. The good ones go early, the guys with warts go in the middle, and the projects go later. http://www.drafthistory.com/index.php/rounds/round_2 Just scroll through the second round. There are a lot of good players, but the edge defenders really aren't the who's who of the NFL. Preston Smith is the best of the bunch, and he was drafted in 2015. There is a reason that people lament trading down for King instead of taking Watt but don't mention that Tyus Bowser was also taken in the second round (besides UW homerism). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edges are high value from a position standpoint. Elite prospects go super high. Solid prospects are still mid to late first rounders. Really flawed ones go in Round 2.

Also, pretty unrealistic, but that's what you get with these mock drafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFLGURU Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Guys like Deebo have a short shelf life due to his physical style. He wants 25 mill, and you have to give up draft choices to get him. If you want that type of player, draft Burks and save yourself a ton of dough and keep the draft choices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I see Burks with the staple of running plays that are designated to Deebo. Looked them up... Burks - 6'2 / 225 Deebo - 6'0 / 215 Though close, I dont see Burks taking handoffs / running the ball behind the LOS as often as Deebo does. Burks is a hefty dude for a WR and I'm not sure he's got the cutting ability Samuel does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, he's not the backfield guy Deebo is, we got Jones/Dillon for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
