George Pickens will be ours! I have ESB!!!,,,

I know nothing about McBride, but maybe they feel he'd be a better weapon for them than any WR that might drop that far. They could still grab an EDGE with the other 1st round pick.

The guy ran a 4.56. If you can get the next Kelce at the end of the 1st on a 5 year rookie deal you do it. Kelce will be 33 this year. I wouldn't hate the pick at all given all the other picks we have.

Dustin Colquit is still a FA? wow...thought that dude would have retired by now...

Agreed, but that’s a pretty high bar

The pro comp I read for McBride is Austin Hooper.

He was ascending before going to that dumpster fire in Cleveland, so I’ll give him a break for his last two years.

He’s a very competent NFL TE, which is probably a fair expectation for McBride.

Not sure I would pull the trigger given some of our other needs.

Id be all about McBride at pick 50. 29 or 30 would feel like a serious stretch.

Dulcich in the 3rd would start to get really serious consideration from me if he fell that far.

The way he moves in space gives me SERIOUS Kelce vibes. Extremely fluid; looks much smoother than he should for a guy that size.

No, I don't think he has the raw athleticism of a guy like McBride but we're not talking about a WR here. For a TE, fluidity in space is far more important and that's where Kelce's been killing guys for years.

It's an area that I think Dulcich excels at.

I 100% believe that we’re going TE in the 3rd round.

So where is Odell gonna sign? I'm getting my hopes up.

Sweet.

So we get to fill in another spot in our communal mock?

Ojabo
Jones
Williams
Tolbert
Dulcich


How you feel about Nick Cross here with this other 3rd? Or one of these hybrid linebackers that run like a deer? And of course there's always Calvin Austin (maybe...probably not)

As long as they're not trading up, I'm pretty good with whatever they do.

I’d be okay with:

Cross, S
McCollum, CB
Andersen, LB

I struggle with the need. I actually think that is an area we are set. To me, we have far bigger needs in other areas. If you have little belief in Gray and Forston, than I see it.

Nate Taylor wrote an article earlier this week outlining Reid and Veach moving away from SMALL fast play makers to making a concerted effort to get BIG and TALL while still fast playmakers. Change in offensive philosophy. Another elite tight end would make sense. Pickens seems to fit that mold as well. Christian Watson surely does. Obviously been discussed ad nauseam but DK Metcalf sure as hell would fit that mold of they are going all in for an elite receiver. Id think guys like Olave, Dotson etc may be off the board. They are emphasizing elite size moving forward.
