Dol-Fan DupreeForum VeteranExcited! Woo HoO! Waddle!
Holland is a huge upgrade over McCain

Pennington's Limp ArmForum VeteranI’m not upset about the pick or anything. He has a chance to be a huge playmaker.
But I’m not going to lie, it didn’t feel like a big win. That’s for sure.
The G ManForum VeteranTo those saying we should've stayed at 3, I respectfully disagree. IMO we should've stayed at #12 and kept the extra 1st rounder we got from SF. Waddle ain't worth 2 1st's, much less #6 overall.

Panthers pick is in.... Nobody wants to trade down apparently.
At least we picked a WR. I would have been livid had they gotten cute with defense.
Doubt this was the Dolphins' first choice though. Didn't like the trade we made (I thought we got way too little in return), and in hindsight staying at #3 would've been better, but so be it. At least we got a good prospect at WR. Wanted Chase or Pitts.

Feels like it, but I won’t be surprised to hear it come out that Detroit really liked him or something. These teams know more about each others grades than we do.

Parker, Fuller, Waddle at WR.. Gesicki still there. There's skill and talent there for him now.
What if they are all injured ?
Maybe one more excuse up his sleeve.

Trades down aren't always available. But Waddle would have been available at 12. This was a huge error.
I'm surprised to see a lot of teams saying that they had Waddle as their highest rated WR. I wonder what they really liked about Waddle or really disliked about Smith and Chase.
texanphinaticForum VeteranI was kind of hoping to go all offense with the first 10.
Let's see if Denver takes a QB or if they will let Teddy and Locke battle it out.

A lot of teams are absolutely clueless. If more teams actually knew what they were doing the league would be a lot more competitive.

With all the Rodgers rumours with the Broncos, this pick becomes fascinating.

texanphinaticForum VeteranDouble CB, well that's something!
Jones and Fields slide further. I feel that New England becomes the target for other teams to beat, and I think Dallas is now much more willing to do that.
StrikingForum VeteranWhat happens if Smith is there at 18? Have to take him right?

No way.
IMO we either go for a RB, trade down or take a defensive player.

Yeah, might as well if he drops all the way to 18. At least one or two of the WR corp will be injured based on history during any given season.
A terrible play call, terribly executed.

Correct. Eagles move up.
Fields?

Divisional trade, that's something. Wonder what's up. Slater or Smith?

If the defense was the same as 2020, the team would be fine. Getting the offense up to good from poor-average is the easiest way to improve the team and get into the playoffs this year.

Adding a fourth WR isn't doing that imo. RB is a bigger upgrade despite positional value, and we don't have a C on the roster. Skura can't snap the ball.

This. It definitely isn't a 'wow' moment.
But, I feel like this is the kind of pick that we'll appreciate in October when the offense is moving much more fluidly. This is a big upgrade to our WR corps.
Between Waddle and Fuller, that speed has a chance to rip some secondaries apart.
