    The dude's 6'6" with hands...Somebody will grab him in the 2nd/3rd, I would guess.

    I know nothing about nfl draft stuff though.

    Let's see:
    There were other pro days today too.

    Or go to Jackson State where there are no rated prospects. Which one would you drop to go to Jackson State. You can't attend them all. 8 NFL teams didn't have a scout there.

    FK it, I am going unorthodox with this one.

    Trade back #3- to Carolina #6

    Carolina selects Malik Willis

    #6 Texans Select- Sauce Gardner
    #13 Texans Select- Drake London

    Drake looks like Mike Evans 2.0- General Mills to Drake and Nico, two dogs

    Trading back to 6 could still risk losing out on sauce Gardner

    Jets and giants could be places that draft him as well.

    I say take him at 3 if he’s really our guy

    I agree. Don’t get cute…if they like him and project him as an elite, shutdown corner take him. This team needs an infusion of premium talent.

    I wouldn’t mind a trade down a few spots for one of the teams wanting Willis or an OT, pick up some picks and take him.

    Can’t risk going to far down with the jets and giants as potential landing spots for sauce

    If they're not sold on any of the edge rushers at 3 and don't want to take an OT at that spot, I wouldn't mind this draft at all. In fact, if they're that sold on Gardners as a future lockdown, top 10 corner, I wouldn't have have a huge problem with them taking him at 3 if they can't find a taker to move down from that spot. Personally, I'd still like to see them take an edge rusher with one of those picks, but I keep hearing how deep the defensive line prospects are in this draft class, and if you can grab two big playmakers with your first two picks, I think that's a sound strategy.

    The question is if the Jags do take Hutchinson do the Texans take Walker? Do they take Sauce? There are holes everywhere. I want BPA. I think it needs to be defense though. I just want a top WR at 13.

    I’m right there with you. Walker, Hutch, Sauce, Hamilton at 3. Maybe Kayvon but I’m not as high on him. 13 London or Wilson, if they’re gone go more defense.
    Hopefully Christian Watson is there with our 2nd if not.

    WR is not a position you need to win in the NFL. Personally don't think we should draft one that high. Brady won for years with no true number 1. Deshaun had his best season when we traded Hopkins. Everytime a WR has been paid the team suffers significantly. Arizona never made it back to super bowl after paying Fitz. Falcons never made it back after paying Julio.

    All a good WR does is mask your biggest problem which is your qb isn't good enough. They make the QB look better than he actually is. Andre fooled us into thinking Schaub was good when in actuality he was trash.

    Let's see what Davis Mills really is first.

    This is about as hypocritical as it gets.
    You Watson fanboys were always complaining about how he didn’t have receivers but you don’t want to give Mills any?
    He did pretty well without many options last season.

    And by your logic, Watson isn’t good enough. He didn’t have the talent around him and couldn’t carry a team to wins.

    Personally I think an elite TE is much more important than an elite WR. Guys like Kelce, Gronk, Kittle, etc seem to make a huge impact to winning. They are way cheaper as well.
