Pickens has an injury history, up and down production, and he is a headcase...but he has X traits. Watson has X traits in spades too, but he is very raw and I just saw that deep ball clip that he just completely whiffed on yet again and I believe 33 is just too early for him also.

WR is a no mans land from me after the top 4 who should all be gone by the early 20s and the next tier of WRs who I think shouldn't go before the 40s or so. I think the right answer is take something that isn't a WR at 33 (Cine, Mafe, LB, etc) and do whatever it takes to get Pierce at 65 or with a bit of a trade up.

I really like what I’ve seen of Pierce. Dotson is a good receiver, but he isn’t really an X. Problem is that I  think Pierce will be gone before 65. So if you feel like he fits us better than Dotson, do you dare ask overdraft him at 33?  

I like Mafe. But the only way I take him at 33 is if I go tackle at 1. If I go defense at 1, I’m not taking defense at 33. I’m coming out of my first 5 picks with OLine and pass catchers.

Pierce could definitely go before 65, but I wouldn't be surprised if he made it there either. I don't think it would take that much to trade up from 65 to like 55, that's what I would try to do.

If the NFL has taught us anything recently, waves of pass rushers is what wins games. Allen, Aidan, and Mafe could be holy crap levels of good. He's probably like my 18th or 19th favorite player in this draft so if he is there at 33 he's very likely to be BAP by a full tier.
