Trading up to draft a WR in round 1, would also make me happy as well. The only receivers I would want at #33 are Jameson Williams, Drake London, Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson or Jahan Dotson and I don't see any of those guys falling that far. There are a ton of teams with receiver needs in round 1.

You realize Lockett isn't even on the trade block, right? 

Someone put a tweet out from a fake account to start that rumor. 

I listened to a former scout turned analyst on the radio the other day talk about Dotson and he got me pretty fired up about the prospect.Dotson played more than half his college snaps from the X position despite his size.

No, I didn't. I thought he really was on the trade block. That sucks. Not that we would've traded for him anyway. 

I'd love Dotson, but we'd have to trade up to get him. No way he gets passed Green Bay and Kansas City.

However, I still think this offense is TE centric in the passing game. I expect a lot of routes over the middle with the RPO. A lot of safety valve and dump off's to the RB's, etc.

The WR's in Pederson's system historically seem to be showcased as if he's playing a game of pool. And what I mean by that is it seems like Pederson specifically uses the running game, the TE position and RB position in the passing game with the intention of getting the offense within that 30 - 40 yard range from the redzone to start taking a shot with the WR position. "Call your pocket" so to speak. It's like, I hit the 5, 6 & 7 in a row (Run, TE catch, RB catch). Now, watch me crack this 8 from left to right (Deep shot to WR). He did it routinely in Philadelphia. I don't expect that to change.

Between Kirk, Jones & Jones and Shenault they might get a good group of production out of them overall. I just expect one of them to be a focal point each week with none of them truly separating themselves from the pack and being relied upon over and over again on a weekly basis. I know people don't want to hear that because of Kirk's contract. But, again, I can only go by what I have seen on film and on the stat sheet.

And, again. Historically? Pederson might as well be dressed up like the Nesquik Bunny because he's clearly big on sharing the wealth.

I really hope Brian Robinson falls to the 4th.  I seriously doubt it but he will be one of the steals of the draft if we can get him there.  I'd honestly  consider him at 70.  I don't want to draft a RB that early but if a RB is at the top of my board I'm taking him.  Probably the most underrated player in this draft imo along with Kaiir Elam, 2 studs that don't get talked about

Brian Robinson will probably be available in the 5th or 6th round. This RB class is loaded with a lot more athletic guys, which should push him down the board.
