OK interesting. So not caring what other people think, if you're EDC, and Mims is on the board at 20,are you trading up 8 spots for him?

I completely understand where you are coming from and this really depends on how the Ravens have evaluated the players and what tier level they have Jeudy, Ruggs, Lamb and Mims. I hear what you are saying and agree with it on many levels.
dont love the idea of trading up in general - i think the eagles will be in on any receiver that gets near them at 21, the vikings have 2 picks at 22 and 25 and one of them may well be a receiver to try and replace diggs, the saints at 24 would definitely take jeudy or mims if they get there - they've been linked with shenault and jefferson a lot but i think mims would be a great fit there with michael thomas there already, dolphins could take whoever, seahawks probably not in on receivers but always do something wacky
but that run of 21, 22, 24, 25, 26 would be a threat - wouldnt love having to give up the capital to get up ahead of the eagles or vikings but swapping picks with the pats at 23 depending on what it costs could be well worth it to get ahead of the saints if we love one of the receivers left at that point
honestly dont think we'd trade up for a receiver tbh but happy to be proven wrong
but i dont think any receiver trade we make in the first will take us higher than 23 because then the compensation starts getting fairly steep
depends who else is on the board but its unlikely there's someone i like more at that point
that being said i dont love the idea of trading up for a WR in the 1st at all given the depth and quality all through the class
but if i had the 20th pick and mims was there id definitely take him - trading up for any wr is what has me stumped in this scenario

I meant Ruiz/Mims but I guess I got the answer.
ah i see what you mean - got confused
i have mims rated higher on the board but id be more likely into trading up a few spots to guarantee ruiz because of the relative positional value and the dearth in quality of interior OL in the rest of the class - they're close enough comparatively on my board that id go after ruiz in a trade up
that being said again not a huge fan of trading up in general in the 1st round
steelers havent added enough talent and dont have the cap or draft picks to transform much this offseason - big ben isnt going to change enough for them to be a juggernaut type team
it could be the bills if josh allen takes another step, especially with the afc east legitimately up for grabs for the first time since 2003 basically - could be the browns but hard to have more than 1 great team in the same division consistently
it should be the texans but BOB seems hell bent on destroying that team
colts are loaded but rivers is basically a bridge qb which could be enough for 1 year (maybe 2) but not much longer
my guess is it would be the colts or bills
would be awesome for the future of the AFC though if it was the bills and texans so that we had 1 juggernaut in each division
denver's a wildcard but they're in the same division as KC which makes everything a lot more difficult
Yea im thinking bills but i just dont trust allen.. i def dont trust rivers, i feel like he costed chargers their SB chances but with a new scenery who knows hiw he will turn out.. i think lamar is giving qbs motivation to get better. Idk if thats just me being biased or what but i mean pat mahommes def was/is motivated by him.. maybe allen and baker will too this season and put that work in.. this abouy to be a wild season
it really should be watson and the texans but who knows how low BOB can pull that franchise

Oh @Ellicottraven . Requesting your descriptive thoughts on the poetry of motion shown in the video. Something like what Ray Hudson would do would be greatly appreciated.

He looks noticeably bigger.
is he looking a little fumble footed though or is it just me?
what does fumble footed mean? (genuine question if that wasnt clear lol)
i was watching those fluid but sharp cuts didnt notice anything particularly striking about his footwork at all
His routes dont really look all that good here.i know its basically free lancing but sheesh
Yea i agree.. i noticed

Just like kinda stompy and heavy footed. Maybe it’s so up close and I’ve basically only ever seen nfl WRs running routes from farther camera angles
