The Random Thought Thread

Am I delusional or am I right on to think that Ruggs could drop to like pick 20 and we could move up for him? I don't know how the board feels about him. I just salivate at the idea of having Hollywood and Ruggs and Boykin. Feels like a slightly worse but same ballpark Tyreek Hill, Mecole Hardman, Sami Watkins.

I'd say you were delusional, but the draft can be soooooo unpredictable.

I'm not going to celebrate any of these moves until a Ronnie Stanley extension is announced tbh.

I think ruggs is the least likely to fall that low, teams are going to really covet him, and lamb seems to have a stranglehold on consensus WR1. Jeudy being of smaller stature and having and average combine and lots of slot production as opposed to playing on the boundary, could be in for a fall

I didn’t agree with you when you said Ruggs could go in the first but with everything going on I could definitely see and believe Riggs goes in the first. I think the Combine will be even more important and weighed heavier than ever due to lack of visits and inability to go to Pro Days.

Wait, you didn’t think ruggs would go in the first round at all?

I didn’t think he was a lock like you did.

I just want to make sure you’re aware that you are quite literally the only person who didn’t see Henry ruggs as a first round lock for basically the last year

I think he was a lock since high school. Not many kids were recruited like Ruggs.

Would you personally trade up 8 spots for Jeudy?

for me that would depend if mims is on the board still

depends on what it would cost me. Although I like Mims a lot, I think Jeudy is more of a sure thing @rossihunter2

Are you saying you'd take Mims at 28?

Absolutely.

it depends what you're looking for i guess - jeudy to me is safer for sure but safer as a contributor early but no guarantee he becomes a superstar and the ceiling on mims is outrageous and the only 2 parts of his game where jeudy is obviously ahead is in lateral agility/quickness and route tree diversity

you could say that mims is in jeudy's realm in basically every other category of evaluation and probably exceeds him in many

in a heartbeat - he's WR 2 for me only behind CeeDee Lamb

dont get me wrong jeudy's right in that range also but i have mims a tick ahead

i realise that's not what the consensus is saying and that outside of this forum it would be regarded as a wtf? kinda pick potentially but id be all in on mims or ruiz at 28 if either of them make it there (not guaranteed they dont get sniped earlier)

hard to pass up if you're trading a 2nd. I'd seriously consider a trade up and typically am not an advocate of trading up. Lived with too many Skins trade ups and not having any picks in drafts. I'm pretty sure where this comes from.

There are arguments for both sides of the argument though, absolutely and none of the arguments are wrong.

I wonder whether one of them (or both) are looked at as trade up candidates by our FO. Who'd you jump for if both are there at #20?

i dont love the idea of trading up for a WR in general in this class - you'll be able to get a comparable player wherever you pick to who you'll get 5-10 spots higher basically the whole way through the WR draft class
