I would feel like we left a LOT of good talent on the board, and likely overdrafted a guy we could get 10-ish picks or later than where we picked him.

If we traded back, got a day 2 or future day1/2 pick and landed Brown, I would be satisfied.

Good point. I'd love for us to acquire some addtl capital and go out and still get a playmaker like Brown later.

I'd feel like killing myself. Brown is probably gonna be taken at the top of round 2. Drafting him at #7 would mean our scouting department needs to be fired.

Idk.. I just got a good feeling about this guy's future success in the league. He's a strong receiver with good size and hands and decent speed. He's gonna be a playmaker.

YouTube carried me into some rnd1 reactions after the 1st rnd selections last year. Chris Simms was criticizing Atlanta's pick of Calvin Ridley in the 1st. Said they needed dline help and that Taven Bryan was still on the board. We never really know. Give me a guy like Brown over a guy like Oliver, for example.
