I'd love one of the top 3 WRs at 14 but say all 3 are gone, would you move down and take a chance on him? He probably has the highest potential but comes with baggage. I don't know that Philbin would be able to handle him but I don't care about what he wants. Thorn here. He could be another Megatron but he could be trouble too. Who's in and who's not?
Ozzy rules!!
 
Look in draft forum already a lot of talk on him.
 
No at 14, no in a trade down.

He won't be another Megatron, he's not the athlete that Calvin Johnson is. The comparison needs to stop being used. I think Josh Gordon makes more sense . . . from all aspects, although Josh wasn't nearly as raw as DGB is right now.

If the big 3 at WR are gone, you go defense and look at WR in round 2.

I don't mind defense if Shelton is there but I doubt he will be. Corner maybe? Hoping we don't go oline but what if the BAP is oline?

No to DGB in the 1st and 2nd round. He's too raw and too questionable character-wise. Too many unknowns.

I would try to trade down. If I cannot do that, then I go BPA in the first round. Maybe a Danny, Shelton, Landon Collins, La'el Collins, Malcolm Brown, Vic Beasley, Trae Waynes, or Jordan Phillips (if Kevin White and Cooper are gone).

If the trade down opportunity is there, then I'm hoping one of those previously mentioned players are still available. If not, I'm looking at either Paul Dawson, Eric Kendricks, and Todd Gurley.

In the 2nd, I'm taking the chance at grabbing Chris Conley from Georgia. I like him. His hands look natural, he goes up to get the ball, and he showed he has the speed at the combine. Added on to that, he's 6'3- the tall target Tannehill needs in this offense. That's the receiver I've targeted for this draft if we can't get our hands on Kevin White.

You don't spend the 14th pick on a guy with that much baggage , our team has needs and we don't have te luxury to gamble like that . Also , pairing that guy with a proffesional vet would be a better situation . Pairing him with Wallace is the equivalent of squeezing out another turd .... No way in hell.

Id take a DT or hell .... Even Trae Waynes
 
I'd be ok with him. He's a freakish talent and he was a model citizen at Oklahoma last year by all accounts.

While I'd be ok with him, I'd probably rather have Strong at this point after his monster combine and production. I don't know why everyone on this board seems to have a late first - 2nd round grade on Strong. He's 6'3 215, he just put up a very good statistical season in a good conference and his combine really shows him as a true NFL talent. Of we don't take him, I'd be surprised if he lasts until pick 20. I think at least 4 wideouts go in the top 20.

Part of the reason is he didn't look as fast as that 40 time he put up. Guys his size you always have to worry about them being able to separate on the NFL level. I like Strong also, I think 14 is too rich for my blood though . . . and I do realize he won't be there at 47. I'll have to pass then.

If he's going to be that much of a problem, no thanks.
 
I would absolutely love the idea!
 
Risky move for a 1st round, but if he impresses on the field (So far at the Combines, he has), and interviews well, with the big three receivers gone, then yes, unless a huge defensive talent of need (DT, I-LB, DB) is there waiting to be taken.

Other then receiver, I do not want to waste a 1st round pick on any other position on offense (No RB w/the 1st round, don't care if he is the flavor of the month). Fix Guard in FA, and then in the later rounds in the draft (2nd or later).
