    Man I sure hope Sewell doesnt end up in Detroit.
    Did the niners have to give up the picks to move up and get Jones at three?

    Yes ... I think it was #12 plus3rd in 21, 1st in 22 and 23. Quite a commitment to whoever they are taking at #3!

    They obviously want who they have targeted. Jones would surprise though at 3. I think its a bluff?

    I am, but not like those guys. I feel like he creates less separation and just wins on physicality and the receivers Miami have, don’t get enough separation. The just I want the most is DeVonta Smith even though he’s the “lowest” rated out of this

    okay I want Pitts more but smith is second

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I get that. It's weird, but I get a Jerry Rice vibe off DeVonta Smith.

    Not necessarily draft related, but I suppose could impact it:

    That works too. I actually used to think Harrison was the most Rice-like of the star receivers of that "next generation" (which I loosely viewed as Moss, Owens and Harrison in terms of the superstars).

    I think it comes down to the smoothness into and out of cuts when running routes and how natural they look catching the ball.

    his route running is crazy polished. He also knows all the coverages the defenses are in before the play starts. People think they can just jam him since he’s skinny but he is too quick for that. He burned all the top cb’s in college, and was barely touched in the championship game

    jerry rice/Marvin Harrison are good comparisons but receivers are so hard to predict.

    A real home run for my dolphins would be take Pitts/Sewell at 6 and then trade up from 18 for Waddle/Smith at like 9 or 11.


    If not I want bpa at 18

    So I guess Rodgers is wanting out of GB. I understand I spent many years working out of Wisconsin and the weather is the pits, really. He's engaged to an actress and probably would like to go to a decent weather local at his age. He's given GB many good years nows the time to trade him.

    You mean send Wilson back to Wisconsin for Rodgers?

    They love him in Wisconsin....

    As a cowboy's fan I am hoping they get Surtain/Horn in the first and Holland in the second to shore up their secondary.

    I think he means Russell Wilson also was unhappy where he is and made it known. So this Rodgers situation is Wilson 2.0.

    That's...interesting. As a 49ers fan, I wouldn't want to give up #3 for Rodgers in general BUT...I'd rather have Rodgers than Mac Jones.

    Regardless, I don't think an actual offer was made and I don't think the Packers are interested in moving him.
