USADave Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 10 hours ago, soulman said: Kinda shocked to see ATL take Penix but it filled out the 4th QB taken in the top ten which assured that Odunze would be on the board. I wondered with both Odunze and Turner there if there was any hesitation or debate at over which to take. Not all that surprised the top defensive guys slid farther back. There was just so much more offensive talent in this draft but some teams got great value when they drafted for defense. Caleb said we got our guy. Sounds like that was the plan all along.

Sugashane Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 I remember the hype with Marshall, Jeffery, and Wilson when I was hoping Wilson would make a major step forward as a WR3. This trio the Poles just put together has a ridiculous amount of talent. Really excited to see how they use them and run the offense for Williams. Hopefully Poles gets Allen tied down for another year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLunatic88 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 1 hour ago, dll2000 said: True. But there were some leaks saying he was their guy. And Caleb, Odunze , Moore and Allen working out together probably wasn’t an accident. I agree in this instance, it is probably entirely true. But it’s more like “once we understand the situation, he is now our guy” because they almost for sure would take MHJ over him and I’m sure they would be saying the same stuff if it was Nabers.

That's fair too. Odunze was WR3 for me in this draft but he would have been WR1 the last two years easily, maybe all but 2-3 of the last 10 years (Chase and Cooper). He just got stuck behind MHJ and Nabers, who would have been the same. MHJ would have been picked over Chase IMO. Just crazy that much WR talent was in the top of one draft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they didn't know he would fall. But they obviously knew they would take him if he did. Which is what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmike90 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Add in that 80.5% of his catches either went for a first down or a TD last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowler1215 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I loved this pick. Yeah, I wanted Verse, as did a couple other guys on here, but we have one of the best WR cores in the league. He can learn from Moore and Allen, and step in and be out WR3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if you are being honest, he was never going higher than 7. So you could think he might go before our pick, but there was always a decent chance he was going to be available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence all the time they spent with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they still took Nabers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they still took Nabers. He was never over Nabers as a prospect. The only way you would ever pick Rome over him is if you think he was too much of a Diva/malcontent. Which he isnt, its just soft people being worried about it. Nabers is closer to MHJ than Odunze was to Nabers. Anyone saying otherwise is lying to themselves and trying to justify Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
