Didn't you draft Engram the last time you said that? Turned out alright

Hey, that's a good point. Appreciate you pointing that out. I said something similar when I drafted Deion Jones the year prior too in the 2nd. Maybe there's something there.
If @JoeyFlex5 were playing this game. Anthony Miller would have been taken already. Probably in the first round AND he wouldn't have looked back. Miller has a chance to be the best WR in this draft class, but also has a low floor. Seems to be like that with a bunch of WR's in this class.
Yeah he was never lasting longer than 25 unless an absolute humdinger fell in his place - he’s been my target since before the draft began - he’s one of the final pieces in my juggernaut
I thought I was gonna have to “settle” for Hernandez (who I also really like) but need 100% met BPA for me there - my OL is gonna be flatout dominant
So this may seem like a bit of a puzzling selection given the falling prospects still on the board, especially since I traded up for this selection. Miller can be a bit of an enigma. His lows are very much concerning, especially the drops that have come on the simplest of throws, i.e. screens, slants, etc. It is in part alleviated by the fact that he's capable of making adjustments to off-target throws and high-point the ball in 50-50 situations. I also am a fan of his cuts and ability in the open field. He seems like he plays with attitude. Otherwise, I just thought that he was the ideal fit. I have my big-bodied WRs in Michael Thomas and DeVante Parker. Miller should be able to rotate between the slot and the outside, with Thomas rotating between the two as well. And aspects of Memphis' offense are either already implements in the Saints current regimen or could be once/if Lamar Jackson takes the reigns. It was very much reliant on triple option RPOs, play-action roll outs, and jet sweeps. With Ted Ginn Jr. gone, I needed a WR who could be a threat as a gadget, and I feel like Miller fits the role well. There's a significant chance that he may not develop into a traditional quality starter, but at least he won't have to. That stands as a concern for each of my first three picks, those being Jackson, Jones and Miller. But if they do pan out, behind that OL, this offense could be fairly exciting in the future years.
It's happened to everyone who has played this game atleast once.
I'm sorry. I honestly wouldn't have thought at all that Miller would be your target. I thought I was reaching here.

No big deal. Kudos to you for going after your guy. Honestly, fuck what the media says about Miller, he’s going to be a top WR out of this class. He is special.
Appreciate it. I think he has special traits. Speaking of which, I like the Gesicki pick. The tape was already there, but that Combine was extremely eye-opening. He put up good-to-terrific numbers for WRs.

Goedert is a better all around TE, but it boiled down to me really needing pass catchers and Gesicki has the potential to be pretty elite in that category.
And great minds think alike!
I thought from the get go you were taking a TE. Earlier this morning I looked at your depth chart and thought your top choice was TE and 2nd WR. I was close.
Agree, Gesicki has some serious potential.

Easy solution, just pick one of Saban's boys when you're on the clock.
