Good thing because 10 draft picks aren’t making the team. We need to combo picks to move up.

Las Vegas and San Fran would probably be my targets to see if they would bite on most of the 6th/7th picks to move into the 4th round. I'm not sure they would do it.

I meant morso with a WR and TE, lol.

Oh gotcha. I don't know about TE but i definitely expected a WR to be selected in the first 2 days. With Dan Arnold getting healthy and signing Evan Engram I don't think TE is a pressing need early, but if there's good value in the mid to late rounds I can see taking a flier

We signed two big contract WRs in FA.

Why would you expect one to be drafted early?

Makes no sense.

Paraphrasing Trent: It's better to make one room really good than to make another just average. I think their comments acknowledge that we can't fix it all this year. I was just hoping to be able to watch an exciting offense. Maybe we still will.

The running theory is that we have a bunch of Y's and Z's but no prototypical X. 

I think the guys we have are at least slightly more versatile than that, especially vs zone coverage, but that's the reason many thought a pick was coming.

I'm guessing maybe we draft a third string running back since there are a lot of good running backs left

... indeed.

This. I figured that the focus would be to give Trevor Lawrence every bit of help and extra tools and weapons to help him succeed and thrive in this league. I'm not at all upset about the way the draft has shaken out but I did expect a pass catcher to be selected between rounds 2-5 (back then we had a 4th round pick when I was conceptualizing this)

Titans got malik willis

Love lloyd and muma, but unless we are reverting to a 4-3 it makes 0 sense to draft both

Willis seems like a nice kid, but I expect him to bust so I'm ok with it being the Titans who grabbed him.

Same.

QBs in this draft are below average.

One of these qbs might make it as a back up.

i guess there's no point in following the draft anymore.... none of these guys will make the team anyways.

Pretty soon it's about Back ups unless you get lucky and hit

i wish there was a WR worth picking... but Justyn Ross is the only guy - and he has injury issues. 

Could use another OL but everyone here on out is practice squad material.

Use one of those 6th-7th round picks on a RB and Kicker.

Still, it makes no sense to think the organization sees WR as a need to be addressed high in the draft after the investment in FA.

You would be considering it a wasted the pick that could be used on more immediate needs if the expectation is that they will be buried on the depth chart due to what you did in FA.
