I agree but I had Delpit higher than McKinneyWhen Cee Dee fell to 17 . I knew with 100% certainty he was going to be the pick. He was the 6th rated player on their draft board.
Kinlaw and Henderson were my two top realistic targets but they were off the board and I wanted Xavier McKinney over Chasson if it came down to those two.
I consider Lamb at 17 a no brainer and a miracle he fell to us.
Garrett would have drafted like thati was hoping for Lamb....but thought they'd go with the DE.
i am still in shock n awe they stuck to their board and made the correct pick...
CEEDEE LAMB
ExceptedI'm not clear is this means wanted or just expected.
Hope:
- I had hoped that Javon Kinlaw would fall to #17.
Never Expected:
- I was shocked that Lamb was available. I still can't believe it.
Expected:
- The most likely scenario appeared to be K'Lavon Chaisson.
- I tried to convince myself to like Chaisson but I just couldn't get comfortable wanting him to be the pick.
Hope Alternate:
- I preferred Diggs at #17 over Chaisson or even better a trade down and then Diggs.
- Hopefully Diggs after the 1st turns out like 2003 when I wanted them to trade back into the late 1st to draft Jason Witten.
- Side note: The only time I've ever been as certain that a draft pick would be a great player as I was with Witten was when Tim Duncan was drafted in the NBA.
Him, or another defensive end!When Lamb fell, I expected it to be him.
Under the old regime, Marinelli would throw a fit to be Chaisson, and I would have expected it to be him. Or some one else.
I was hoping for Lamb but thought they would pick Chaisson. I was hoping the Falcons would pick Chaisson.
