Deepest WR class in YEARS and we want to move up? Doesn't really make sense imo. If the price was a first and a third I think that would be reasonable, anything more I think would be a mistake.

When it's all said and done, what player do you guys want most out of this draft?

Apparently Watkins said that Mayhew said that he is "very high" on trading up for him and that hes "very serious"

I would like Dennard or Barr in the first then Allen Robinson later imo

agree with you there. I hope we can trade down with someone like the Cowboys (donald) or Jets (OBJ) and still nab Dennard/Barr

I really dont mind if we trade up or down. I think the only mistake we could really make in this draft is taking a CB at 10.

The more I think about it, Mayhew knows that he needs to win now or else get fired, so I think he might actually trade up to get that "elite" prospect whether that is Mack or Watkins and whether it is a good or bad move for 5 years down the road

Am I the only one who isn't buying the Watkins hype? He's small compared to all of the elite wrs in the nfl now. All or the best one are huge athletic freaks (calvin dez Marshall thomas Jeffrey green gordon etc). I think a 6'5 230 mike evans is going to be a much better NFL reciever.

I think Evans will be better too, but Watkins would be better for this team. Speed kills and he would be a real deep threat.

However, one aspect of Evans game that is overlooked is his ability to block. Tate is an excellent blocker as well as is Calvin, our receiving corps would probably fare better than the Miami Dolphins O-line lol

I don't think that's a mistake. We need a CB that can come in and be an impact player right away and we simply aren't getting one with our younger guys. Someone like Justin Gilbert could fill a void that we've needed filled for a long time. He's got the size, speed, and hands for it and a CB like him would help against a team like the Bears who have big, physical WR's. I'd be fine with a CB.
