Fingers crossed that it's a position of need. I see alot of mocks with Murray going early which I dont see happening also the QB from Duke which I also don't see happening. Fant and Irvin may fall out of the first round completely.

I was in Rennes before, now I'll be working in Paris or around.

This is the reason I’m cool picking at 22. Typically good talent will slip.

Matt Miller has us taking:
1st rd: D.K. Metcalf (WR) Ole Miss - Cody Ford went 1 pick later to the Texans
3rd rd: Devin Singletary (RB) FAU
4th rd: Beau Benzschawel (OG) Wisconsin
5th rd: Cameron Smith (LB) USC
6th rd: Jordan Brailford (EDGE) Oklahoma State
6th rd: Blace Brown (CB) Troy

I could live with it, also I'd take a RB much lower and a EDGE instead. Banogu and Walker were available, two heavily underrated guys.

A RB I like in the later rounds is Devine Ozigbo. Fast guy, every down back, catches well out of the backfield, although only basic routes.

You sure there would be an edge rusher in 3rd as good as Singletary is at RB?

I really like this and would be ecstatic. Surprized Brailford would fall that far. Really covers all the bases except safety. We'll end up with more picks than this tho. I see at least 8 or 9.
Is Metcalf better than Deebo?

He has more potential, but Deebo is more likely to be successful, in my opinion. Personally, I'd take Deebo for us. I'd actually probably take Harmon over Metcalf too.
I don't really care that Singletary is a good RB, I don't want a RB early. We could take Forrest Gump and make him a 1000 yards rusher in this scheme. Not investing in the pass rush could kill this team next year or the year after.

With a limited qb like lamar I want a guy who doesn’t just rack up 1000 in our scheme, I want a guy who will make the absolute most out of this scheme, a guy who make plays in any scheme but completely take over the game in ours.
I want an elite RB on this team more than anything aside from an elite C
Okay but why? Why want a one dimensionnal offense when you could build a whole passing offense around Lamar and force DCs to make decisions and leave favorable matchups all over the map? Why do people think that investing a 3rd on a RB is going to put this offense over the top when in all reality it'll give us maybe a 1500 yard rusher compared to 1100 for Dixon or Gus? It's as low a return on investment as you could get. Getting an outside threat to consistently win the 1vs1 that this offense is going to give is definitely going to make a bigger impact for the offense.
And, well, do I really need to argue that pass rusher is an absolute need?

Can't draft for need in round 3, unless someone like Houston smokes weed and that drops him down the board. Who cares about the project pass rusher if there's a better player available - just take the best guy.
Well I'm taking D'andre Walker or Ben Banogu before Devin Singletary everyday of the month. I don't even think Singletary is special.

Also, we will be able to mitigate some needs through FA this year, which will further improve our chances to have a BPA oriented approach.
And Singletary vision/elusiveness is a great upgrade over what we have now at the position. He ain't no Barkley but I'm def happy if he's there in the 3rd

Because you’re a shit ton more likely to get a stud/gamebreaker/blue chip rb in the third than any other position, this wr class is laughable and I have 0 hope that we can find that guy in the third, and a rb is gonna touch the ball so much in this offense that you want that guy to do as much damage as possible because lamar is gonna have to be limited as a passer at least for a few more years.
If you can get a wr in the first, or a pass rusher, do it, but chasing “our guy” in the third when that player doesn’t even exist is just poor use of picks. In a bad wr class I’m not reaching for one in the third.

I think we address safety and pass rush in FA too, really strong FA class for both. I think this leaves our first round pick to go after a WR, any one of Deebo, harmon, butler, or arcega-whiteside would be a good pickup for me, many of them could even be had after a hefty trade back.
I see the WR class as much better, both at the top and in terms of depth, as the RB class. The RB class is shitty and I'm taking Dixon before all of them except Jacobs and Montgomery, Henderson and maaaayyyyyybe Harris. On the other hand you could easily give a massive boost to the WR group with an early pick and a later one. I'll say it again, Singletary isn't anything great and behind him it's laughable. So no, I'm not touching a RB in the third.
