I don't think I would. Maturity + injury concerns is a no-go for me. If I can't get LaPorta, I'm staying pat and taking a TE that falls to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ftn49 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Anyone else have issues with the board on their phones? My work computer it works fine (except for the gifs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 7 minutes ago, Justone2 said: Honestly i might but we are in such a bad spot pick value wise that for me it almost has to be a pick swap over trading away multiple of our later ones. I don't really think this team will legitimately consider trade ups until we are into round 3, so it would have to be a big drop for Washington. I Just don't think that its impossible. Same with Dawand Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 I feel like I've come around to Strange in the third with one of those picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If this regime hasn't learned for Reuben Foster and Kinlaw, they're brain dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams will always take chances on medical flags, especially at the end of day 2 and into day 3. The difference on Foster and Kinlaw is that they spent first round picks on them. Completely different calculation when thinking about a third round pick. I never minded Baalke taking swings on Thomas, Lattimore or Smelter (though the recurring joke of it was amusing) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still too many good players to be had in the 3rd and 4th rounds to gamble on a prospect's medical history. Taking those risks on Day 3, where the margins are slimmer makes more sense for me personally. No matter how talented, your best ability is availability.

In this draft the difference between a guy at our picks and at our next pick is almost zero. Honestly if you can grab a guy like Washington who in my eyes you can easily argue is the top TE based on upside late third but he might not last as long you do it in my opinion. And honestly it all depends on how bad the medical is but if he is here for 4 years healthy and falls off after that i am totally fine with that.
