Interesting that Spy comments that one of the things they looked for and saw in the 5 players drafted so far is… humility (in addition to competitiveness). Doesn’t exactly give you the feeling that Shaduer is in their consideration for day 3…

It could also be a message directly to him.

"If" we were to take him, the humility would need to be there.

This is where he’s projected to go anyways so I don’t see how he’s a value here.

Simply - strength of this class pushed some talented guys down. If this was a normal class - he would have been drafted by now.

Possibly because he’s only been a corner for like a week and a half :shrug:

Look, I’m not hating on any of these dudes but it seems like there was a better version of a position we ended up drafting that went right in front of us at least twice. As a rule I’d just rather have the better player than a bunch of draft picks. That’s all I’m saying.

I am in the same boat as well. I kind of feel we dropped back a bit too much and lost out on some better prospects. I’m fine with Porter and the W&M tackle however. Not so keen on Bech and the OG.

I feel as though we could have gotten a better player earlier in round 2 than to drop back again.

Turns out he's more myth than legend.

Oh he’s a legend alright ! People will be talking about this for decades to come. At this stage I wonder if he is draftable. Knowing full well the media circus that will follow Sanders being picked this late in the game is he worth the hassle? He’s toxic at this point

I think grant sits, gets stronger and becomes LT. Rogers competes at guard. Both had very good athletic scores, Bech was a solid pick. He catches everything and blocks well. He’s also got size. Porter is a wild card and I don’t love the pick because he’s older and hasn’t played corner much but he wasn’t a reach. I always want o linemen and we got two of ‘em.

It’s pretty clear that either Brady kept his mouth shut or Deon didn’t listen to Brady. I’m going with Deon didn’t listen.

I’m going with the whole concept of their “close relationship” was always overblown. It was used as a reason as to why Sanders is the chosen one and Brady may not have liked it. He’s been labeled as a “Brady” guy and then presented himself in quite the opposite fashion.

Remember when Deion was saying he wouldnt let the kid go to certain teams

Well this is the 32 teams saying No fuck you we decide not you

Wonderful karma

Remember when there were rumblings about how he was expecting partial “ownership” of the team that drafted him !

Ayomanor fits this too.

Tory Horton and Tez Johnson would be decent additions too if we grab another WR. Ricky White in the 6th/7th would be a decent swing too.

Some defenders out there I like…

Bradyn Swinson
Billy Bowman
Jack Sawyer
Josh Farmer
Smael Mondon
Jeff Bassa
CJ West
Danny Stutsman
Lathan Ransom

Easy to second guess for the reasons you state. Spyguy and Pete plainly wanted to more picks. And they were happy with Bech as a fall back and Rogers was clearly part of the Day 2 plan—as was Grant to a lesser extent, if there (I think GM’s viewed him as a bigger project/risk than draftnicks). Porter was an obvious Day 2 target and as all the CB fell, it enabled Spyguy and Pete to go for more picks.

but he was a receiver, like Travis... which is a bonus as far as understanding the routes and ball skills.

from what I've read it's his take on in tackling that's stunted... anyone who's played at any level knows the receivers have the most pussy soft practice regimine on the field.

he will have to learn to love contact, it can be taught.

Value is not reaching. Arif’s work shows that (non-medical/non-character) “steals” are overrated. Players fall for reasons missed by draftnicks (if character/medical, it’s just buyer be ware).
 
I don't really care other than we chose the positions we all see need addressed... I just get my player evaluations from internet guys that are ripping each other off anyway... time will tell.

like that guard we took... I didn't even notice his name and here he's an athletic freak of the highest order.. :shrug:
