It's possible.

Allen and Williams each have issues either by injury or contract. Chargers need to clear space.
I still say Chargers

I dont know what his separation skills are but I do know that he has a ridiculous catch % on contested passes. I wonder if people are drawing the "no separation" line because he is so good at contested catches.

Because instead of watching the games they make their conclusions based on YouTube highlights. They see Rome making 15 contested catches in highlights and assume he can’t separate.

I agree with you here. While I think Jones had enough talent before injuries to win in this league. No reason to argue when it is clear Jones is an injury liability. Too much history to ignore.

So, I want to trade up if the research reveals a force multiplier at QB(used force multiplier for you) Go get it. The only non QB I would take at 6 is MH jr. Trade down sounds good to me too without a QB. I REALLY want a QB.

The Eagles had a terrific OL and defense. Basically all they were missing was some weapons. The Chargers defense is atrocious and the OL isn’t far behind. I wouldn’t be shocked if they went WR again because it’s likely the best value but the two teams were/are completely different situations

Verse, Turner could possibly vault into top 5 with great combines. Happens every year just about... Defensive End/edge guy increases their draft position signnificantly by having very str9ng combines. Last year it was Van Ness and McDonald, this year there is less high end talent this year and that could mean teams will put a premium on those guys

I'm not disagreeing with the different situations, and clearly what you noted is why the Philly traded for Brown rather than drafting another WR in 2022. But the idea that a team could only be as foolish as the Millen-era Lions by using their first round pick on WR in consecutive years is a bit silly, IMO.

Unless you're drafting for need, there are going to be times when the BPA by a mile is going to be at the same position you just drafted in the first round the previous year. Ignoring that talent to address a need is how you end up like the Giants of recent years, IMO. It would be like passing on Carl Banks because you had drafted Lawrence Taylor a few years earlier.

The WR position has become ultra-premium and you're almost always going to have more than one of the field at the same time. I'm not sure why anyone would scoff at using back to back picks there, especially when last year's pick didn't exactly take the league by storm as a rookie.

Oh we are going to play with names like a little kid... Ok JoeyDumbass... see how stupid that sounds even though it fits you. No there isn't ... He will run in the 4.4s... people that prefer Nabers say he has better separation and he does. They say Odunze catches to many contested catches and he does. However no one says Odunze can't separate much less 60%. You hear I want Nabers because he is better at separation and you hear Odunze can't separate. That is on you the reader which is why dumbass would fit you.

Just like if I said I want Nabers because he has an amazing 3.1% rate which is better than Odunze. That doesn't mean Odunze at 3.8% has a bad drop rate. He has a great drop rate, but just not as good as Nabers.

If it was 60% of BBI I shouldn't need to look at archives and I don't need too. I know that it isn't true. You say you don't want to do research for me, but really you are just wrong and that is ok. You can be wrong, just don't double down on it.

I am not sure what I said that you think made me an internet tough guy. Well actually it makes sense. You tried to make fun of my screenname, I then showed you how childish it was by making fun of your screenname. You hear I will beat you up! It really does come down to reading fundamentals.

Again I’m doing your homework for you. You like Nabers better Odunze, that’s fine. But to think Odunze is not on par with Nabers on a prospect is wrong, and that’s what I’ve seen a lot on BBI. I’m not doing the work.

You want to take personal shots, and don’t get mad when a stray comes your way. You soft ass little bitch you.

Ohhh ... Now you have seen that Odunze is not on par with Nabers. Not that people said Odunze can't separate. This is a good backtrack but still... Most of BBI love all 3 WRs including Rome. It is true a lot of BBI has it MHj, Nabers, and then Odunze, but that doesn't mean they don't like Odunze. Most have all 3 WRs super close in talent. I have it super close as I have stated multiple times. Saying I like Nabers more than Odunze doesn't mean I don't like Odunze. Again you really have a reading problem.

Look I get it... you made a stupid statement. Probably looked for hours trying to find even one example and couldn't. You only saw that people say they want Nabers over Odunze and so you want to change course on your statement. The problem is you are still wrong and it is because you can't comprehend words.

Plus the constant I am not doing your research for you... trust me I would never want someone who has no reading comprehension to do research for me so you are off the hook.

Draft the player not the position. I love Odunze  
mittenedman : 2/15/2024 9:18 am : link
but I do wonder if his skill set is Daboll & Kafkas ideal WR. Odunze’s more of a classic outside X who would’ve been great in Gilbrides O. Daboll might want one of those inside outside flex WRs. There’s the Diggs/Tyreek Hill stuff and they loved Zay Flowers last year.

To me, and people will groan, if big bad Joe Alt’s sitting there projecting as a squeaky clean 10-year Pro Bowler it’s Zack Martin all over again. The Giants need great football players.

Agreed. But WRs (and the best TEs) create the most separation due to their understanding of defensive leverage and savy route running.

If a pass catcher can make a defender hesitate for a split second, that can be more valuable than any sort of timed number in shorts

I'm honestly trying to understand what your point is. Because Robert Gallery busted at T 20 years ago you can't draft Joe Alt now? Follow the draft closely, you find busts and failed strategies no matter which direction you go.

Can I just say "Josh Rosen" and kill all discussion of adding a QB? Let's raise the level of discourse here.

Not to mention they have Josh Palmer who's a solid #3 as well and has flashed when he's been given opportunities. LAC seems like a prime trade down candidate to me.
