was interesting to hear this during the full interview. this is a guy with real football knowledge who has lived it, not some rah rah guy or young hot shot guy who happened to have a nice season somewhere.

dude has lived football for years at the highest levels as a coach and player. forget all about the pretenders, we've got the real deal now.

What if BPA @#5 is WR?

Some notable WR's drafted in top 5.

Jamar Chase
Corey Davis
Amari Cooper
Sammy Watkins
Justin Blackmon
AJ Green
Julio Jones* #6
Calvin Johnson
Larry Fitzgerald

I keep remembering that we landed Junior and LT with the fifth pick in the draft and the thought of trading it for two lesser picks just kind of scares me. I hope they use that pick on Bowers or one of the top three WR's. We may end up with a third HOF player that was taken at pick five.

I'm with you on this, I am assuming we will not have a top 5 pick again during the JH3 era.

Grab that blue chip receiving threat.

Malik Nabers ran a 4.35 40 at his LSU Pro Day today. You see his college tape, it's like watching John Jefferson. Taking him at #5 if he's there. Imagine Justin Herbert paired with a John Jefferson clone.

I wasn't that surprised by his time but I was surprised at how powerful he looked. Strength and speed. MHJ looks a little spindly to me and I remember him going down in a couple of big games.

This is playground simple. You're picking teams, who goes first? The best player period. For us that will be MHJ or Nabers.

pick 5 has been lucky for us as you note. 2 HOF'ers. Khalil Mack was also a 5th pick by the raiders when he came out

What is Malik's personality? I heard one time that he is the Antonio Brown waiting to happen. What have you guys heard?

[Kellyb72601]

I don't get that indication at all from watching his interviews. He seems fairly introverted takes his game seriously and isn't afraid to admit things he needs to work on.

Nabers is 6’0” and 200 lbs. MHJ is 6’4” and 205. So it makes sense that Nabers is going be thicker/more dense.

But yeah, during that 40 yard dash yesterday, he looked like he had the body of a running back. There’s a reason he broke a bunch of tackles and had massive YAC last year.

I still think MHJ as a true X is the best fit for us, but I will be ecstatic to have Nabers. As I’ve said, I think either would be the first receiver off the board in any draft since 2016 except for 2021.

They are weapons. Something we sorely lack

I am seeing LOTS of meat on the bone ~ @ #100.
At a variety of positions.
Including WR.
This influences my strategy earlier in the draft.
Savvy Joe Hortiz places great value
in that @ #110 he got for Keenan.
It will be gold.
