Agree with this completely and I think MM said something similar about collecting talent. I’d take Jeudy or Lamb easily. As far as guys later..say the run doesn’t hit at WR until Rd 2...I’d look Reagor or Justin Jefferson(slot) in Rd 2 but highly doubtful they are there.
I agree. Collecting talent is what the draft should be all about. When you start drafting for need or drafting a guy because he "fits", that's when this team screws up. Again, I'll throw out the names of Charlton and Hill as examples of this. We drafted them because they fit Rod's scheme. He's gone. His scheme is gone.
Jeudy, Lamb, and even Ruggs should be locks if available at round 1. But I'll admit the WR depth is insane this year. We can find a guy anywhere in the draft this year that can come in and contribute right away, especially in the slot.
a few guys I'm looking at in rounds 3 through 5:
Pittman, Van Jefferson, Bowden, Duvernay, Proche, Cephus
