why I think WR is an underappreciated need for round 1 or 2

If golden or egbueka dropped to 2nd round I’d be somewhat intrigued. But don’t see that happening.

They might drop to the early part of round 2. Would the Cards move up to get one? Seems doubtful based on their recent signing.

Yeah I wouldn’t trade up for either.

I think Monti has positioned himself to just take the BPA regardless of position in the 1st.

I expect him to move around in the 2nd and 3rd for semi needs. But I do not see WR as one of those. That would be RT/G and defensive front 7 (edge, NT and ILB)

 

[CardNots]

Nah, we're going D...for an off-ball linebacker.

If Grant is there we go defense. I’m actually thinking we could or would move up a couple of spots to ensure his selection.

If Grant and possibly Nolan is off the board then CB or OL drops to us. Do we pull this trigger or move back?

I keep changing my mind on the draft.

You could argue that the DL is now one of our stronger groups and that OL, ILB and even WR need more adding than DL.

You could argue that. If you are counting beans and making piles that makes sense. But we could well have a chance to create a dominant unit with one more special, dynamic piece.

I would absolutely take Grant or Nolen if they are there.

 

[Chopper0080]

That would be a great athlete pick. Those don’t have a history of consistent success.

While I don't disagree, if you are going to be a draft and develop team who drafts outside the top 15, these are the types of players you have to be able to hit on IMO.

It depends on how you measure need vs positional value vs ceiling for success.

If I am staring at Grant vs Will Johnson vs Jihad Campbell...I am taking Grant. Will Johnson vs Membou might go to Membou. Johnson vs Kelvin Banks I am taking Johnson.

I would not take an ILB in round 1 of this draft.
