Exactly!!! For years we’ve picked guys that “the consensus” says should have gone later and fans had to say, “Yeah, but what do they know?!?!?”raiders93 wrote Fri Apr 28, 2023 6:17 pm:I must say this draft has been refreshing - actually taking guys that probably could’ve/should’ve gone earlier.
Mayers easily the best TE in this draft imo. He’s not quite as athletic as some of the others but he’s got great hands, is tough as nails, blocks well and his football IQ is off the charts. Great value, great pick.

I wouldnt have guessed that...Raidernation1979 wrote Fri Apr 28, 2023 6:05 pm:Player A is Kelce. Not saying Mayer will be him but a very similar comparison.

Not really. I have seen organization reach for needs. I know what it looks like and I know what it yields. Now, to state that Z may have picked who he thought was best player available while others do not agree and see others as that player.... Yes, of course, but that is really not important. The important part is that Z is attacking this draft by picking those players who he believes are the best available and not allowing need to dictate his picks. If Z did, then this draft would look different.Jeevo wrote Fri Apr 28, 2023 6:59 pm:BPA is a fallacy, ten different guys have 10 different BPAs and the deeper the draft gets the more divergence you get.

I saw this dudes name a lot on this board, getting him where we did was a steal it feels like. He is huge and definitely looks more like a lineman. I am all for it.signal » Fri Apr 28, 2023 7:37 pm
Plus he is a nasty disposition. You need some of that on both sides of the ball.Jeremyturner1976 wrote Fri Apr 28, 2023 7:33 pm:I saw this dudes name a lot on this board, getting him where we did was a steal it feels like. He is huge and definitely looks more like a lineman. I am all for it.
Back to a hell of a set of weapons again if he performs as expected.

BPA is almost as dumb as saying great value pick which seems to be the popular phrase this yearJeevo wrote Fri Apr 28, 2023 6:59 pm:BPA is a fallacy, ten different guys have 10 different BPAs and the deeper the draft gets the more divergence you get.

He went to Covington Catholic, so that means he is probably a bigot.
