And with my first blocked poster I now feel like an official fan.


Like the move.   People stating they still want a WR with the #1 pick in the upcoming draft, couple questions.

1. If there were a clear cut #1 TE on the board would you think about picking that player?
2. Is there still a bigger need for an alpha WR over a dominant shut down corner?

1.  If we're picking at #5 overall, then no.  If we win some games in the second half of the season and are drafting around the middle of the first round, it would be on the table.  However, it would need to be a player projected to be pro-bowl caliber.  Otherwise, the positional value isn't there.  Tight ends sometimes fall in the draft.  We have needs at other positions that are less likely to do so.  Personally, I would resign Engram and replace Arnold with a mid round pick to develop.

2.  Prior to Ridley, I would say wide receiver.  After Ridley, I say cornerback.  It's not to say that I wouldn't like to upgrade Zay Jones, but our bigger need is cornerback.  Given his high salary, I don't see Shaquill Griffin being back.  I think Tre Herndon sucks, but even if he didn't, he's a free agent at the end of the season.  Assuming we don't sign someone in free agency, it leaves Chris Claybrooks who is a good special teams player, but a disaster at cornerback and Montaric Brown, a seventh rounder who has yet to take a regular season defensive snap.  Assuming Ridley is reinstated, I think the odds are heavily in favor of cornerback being taken in the first round over wide receiver.
