Lamb will go first, and who knows what happens after Ruggs' 40 -- might be under 4.3
If Jeudy is there at 18 I'm taking him.

Lit up the bowl game, could of got himself back in that range. We’ll see but if we take any of the Bama receivers I prefer the other two anywayTop 10 is rich imo, and if I read correctly, Saban said only Tua received a Top 15 grade.
Please no WR's in Round 1.
Just don't do it.
No RB's either though I admit to being infatuated with Etienne and I think i would use a late 1st on him. He is going to be Komara.

I would not cry if we ended up with Jeudy in the 1st but man, we have so many other needs.
Also, there are some other really nice WRs, ya?
I cannot decide if we would be better off with a DL or OL heavy draft - we need both.What if you ignored the needs on D? Would that make it more palatable?
Jeudy always looks great to me. Burst and fluidity and athletic arrogance. Similar to Amari Cooper but more variety in his gears and more of a bully.
The more dedicated analysts here always surprise me by seeing faults in Jeudy that I don't detect while watching sporadically. I'm not saying they aren't there. The samples must be small.
Plucky receivers are extra vital during a playoff run. That has always stood out to me, that receivers and tight ends are of certain value during the regular season but then it soars to an entirely different level in the playoffs, when one series and one play changes your fate. Flacco won that Super Bowl when the playoff opponents simply could not deal with Boldin, who had countless clutch grabs including 4 touchdowns during those playoffs. Contrast to one season earlier when Lee Evans of the Ravens simply didn't value the ball enough in the end zone and had it ripped out of his hands very late in a tight playoff defeat at Foxborough. All the work and dedication all season in those two years was decided by Boldin's caliber in 2012 compared to Evans' caliber in 2011.
Same thing yesterday with Buffalo. The Bills wide receivers blew that game. You only get so many chances in games like that. Josh Allen threw an amazing deep sideline pass to John Brown on third down during the second quarter while leading 7-0. It was a very routine play for an NFL wide receiver. Just deaden and drag your left leg and toes are easily in bounds, for a first and goal at maybe the 3, if I remember correctly. Instead Brown took a sloppy extra full step with that left leg, as if it didn't matter at all. I was going nuts. The difference between touchdown and field goal is massive for an underdog in a game like that.
Then just before halftime Duke Williams dropped another great pass in the right side of the end zone. That was another field goal instead of touchdown. In both instances the announcers did not properly condemn the wide receivers, or describe what likely was going to happen once a road team of moderate playoff caliber leaves points off the board.
Wide receivers are one thing if we're merely trying to go 8-8 or become a fringe playoff team. If you want to actually win the Super Bowl they are a different priority altogether. That's what I am saying. I could bore with plenty of examples from history...playoff games that went one way instead of another way due to catch or drop. Heck, the Patriots outcome might have been radically different if Edelman doesn't get sloppy and lift his head while dropping a simple pass on 2nd and 6 on essentially New England's final drive. That would have been a first down near midfield.
Well the logic is we have a nice pass catching corps but NO NFL caliber RB on our roster. A guy like Dobbins could really take the load off a QB and open things up. You have to use your 1B pick as opposed to your 1C or round 2 pick if you get Jeudy or like WR.You don't want WR's in the 1st but would take a RB in the late 1st? I don't understand.
