2022 NFL Draft Talk

[HarveyWallbangers]

Waddle is not top 10. You’re missing Tyreek Hill and Stefon Diggs, among others. McLaurin wasn’t a 1st round pick.

[Bretsky]

[QUOTE=HarveyWallbangers;1114198]Waddle is not top 10.


Hill and Diggs horrible misses. Probably Hopkins too. Didn’t waddle have over 100 catches with a crap qb though ?

[Bretsky]

OOPS

It slipped my mind that we picked SuperStar TE Jay Sternberger in front of Terry

NO NEED TO SAY IT WAS ROUND 3

He averaged under 10 yards/reception, so I'm not impesseed. Very Jarvis Landry-esque.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Hill and Diggs horrible misses. Probably Hopkins too.

Two 5th round picks and a 1st round pick. Some others:

Mike Evans, Brandin Cooks = 1st round
Michael Pittman = 2nd round
Keenan Allen, Chris Godwin, Tyler Lockett = 3rd round

[Joemailman]

What stat are you using for this ? When I think of the top 10 WR's in the NFL

Adams 2nd round
Copp 3rd round
Chase 1st
Jefferson 1st
Waddle 1st (I think I'd consider him top 10)
Lamb 1st
Samueal 2nd I think
Metcalf 2nd
AJ Brown 2nd
McLaurin 1st



I'm sure I'm missing some; I just did this off the top of my head for the list

I used receiving yards from 2021.

Man, when is this damn draft going to happen? Feels like the NFL drags it out longer and longer every year, to try to stay in the news and getting clicks.

Just draft some people and let's all wait our three years to see if they pan out.

Just draft some people and let's all wait our three years to see if they pan out.

It's normally the last weekend of April. This year with the last Thursday being the 28th, it's as late as it can possibly be.

[RashanGary]

Waddle is not top 10. You’re missing Tyreek Hill and Stefon Diggs, among others. McLaurin wasn’t a 1st round pick.

Bretsky, when you look at it, the later round receivers really pan out. Almost as often as the first rounders, and often times better than the first rounders.

This years draft is no different. Dotson, Watson, Metchie and Tolbert could all out perform the first round. Im more than ok getting our guy in the second. Even if we have to trade up. Those two first round picks cant be wasted. Grab BPA and then go get your guy in the second.

DJ Moore
Round 1 Pick 24
6'0" 210
4.42 40

6.95 3 cone

4 out of the top 10 were picked before pick 5 in the second round.
4 out of the top 10 were picked between round 2 pick 21 and round 3 pick 5
2 were picked in the 5th round

So you're about as likely to land one in the second to early third as you are from the first to early second.

Odds are if we're going to find one it's going to be before pick 6 in the 3rd round. Could easily move up in the second to find our guy or even sit tight.

GREAT DATA

I absolutely do NOT want them to trade up. I would welcome a trade down and with it a selection of Dotson, Watson, or Moore.

I wonder if we could somehow maneuver #28 and our 3rd round pick and end up with two 2nds out of those ?

Wants to pound table for not our guy, but our "2" guys

We've ignored this position long enough !

And I'd add a late round upside flyer in addition to the 2 high picks.

LET"S SET HIS TEAM UP FOR GRAHAM MERTZ after GB ditched LOVE and drafts him in two years ))))))))))))))))

Players 10-20 I'm going to include a couple injured players. AJ Brown, Allen Robinson, DeAndre Hopkins and Calvin Ridley

AJ Brown
Round 2 Pick 19
6'0" 226
4.49 40
36.5 vert

Allen Robinson
Round 2 Pick 29
6'2" 220
4.60 40
39" vert
7.00 3 cone
4.00 shuttle

DeAndre Hopkins
Round 1 Pick 27
6'1" 214
4.57 40
36" vert
4.5 shuttle

Calvin Ridley
Round 1 Pick 26
6'1" 189
4.43 40
31" vert
6.88 3 cone
4.41 shuttle

Mike Williams (pro day)
Round 1 Pick 7
6'4" 218
4.54 40
32.5" vert

Keenan Allen
Round 3 Pick 12
6'2" 206

Chris Godwin
Round 3 Pick 20
6'1" 209
4.42 40
36" vert
7.01 3 cone
4.00 shuttle

CeeDee Lamb
Round 1 Pick 17
6'2" 198
4.50 40
34.5" vert

Tee Higgins (pro day)
Round 2 Pick 1
6'4" 216
4.59 40
31" vert
4.53 shuttle

Michael Pittman
Round 2 Pick 2
6'4" 223
4.52 40
36.5" vert
6.96 3 cone
4.14 shuttle

So 10 of the top 20 were taken before pick 6 in the 2nd round.
8 of 20 were taking between pick 6 in the 2nd round through the end of the third round
2 were taken in the 5th round

You're still looking at about equal likelihood in the 2nd and 3rd rounds as the first and early second.

It looks like the likelihood of drafting a good receiver drops way off after round 3.

Round 1 through pick 5 of round 2 gets the best results.
Rounds 2 - 3 get good results
After round 3 you're very unlikely to hit

[RashanGary]

14 of 20 were over 200 pounds.
4 of 20 were under 190 pounds.
7 of 20 were 214 pounds or heavier

You're more likely to find big guys than small guys. But 195-213 is the sweet spot.

the slowest time is 4.62
15 of 20 ran 4.56 or better
9 of 20 ran 4.49 or better
6 of 20 ran 4.43 or better

Other than Dionte Johnson who is an outlier, bigger guys can run in the mid to upper 4.5s and still be very successful. Smaller guys who succeed tend to be fast.
