I cant imagine anyone really thinks Richardson is worth taking #1 overall. He's a lottery ticket. Honestly he shouldn't be a first rounder based off play, but his measurables and hopes of what he can be will put him top 10
There are people actually talking about Richardson going #1. Now these are of course just media people but we don't know what GM's are thinking. People are really freaking out over what he did at the combine. I'm more with how you feel about him, maybe a little higher on him than you are.

Well at 9, I think WR might just be the most productive play if JSN is the guy. Follow that up with picks in the trenches on day 2 to fill out the roster with talent that can protect Fields, and this team goes from "Fields can surprise you by putting up 30+ points" to "The Bears are a threat to go an entire game without punting."

But any WR that improves this team next year will do so from the slot. And I would really like to follow that up with a pick to Darnell Washington. Putting the tallest TE next to the shiftiest WR would be a nightmare to cover completely.
Some already had D.Washington going end of the 1st round and that was before he killed the combine so would be hard to get JSN or Flowers and Washington.

Right? I'd have no bad feeling about Floyd coming back to where it all started, but I'd rather Robinson take someone else's money.
Always liked Floyd but he will not be cheap in a weak Edge market.

Robinson will be cut and will be lucky to sign a 1 year prove it deal, he was even worse than he was his last year with the Bears.

The problem with Zay is he has NO floor. None. He is either a blazing comet or a hunk of dead iron. He is too hit or miss for me. So, I get it, but I’d rather have a big slot like Xavier Hutchinson or Mingo, who tested very well.
I'm really high on Zay. I'm JSN, Zay, Addison. Would like to get R.Rice, X.Hutchinson or J.Reed in the mid rounds.

In this mock, the first major one from PFF since the combine, they have the Bears trade back twice, Texans and Carolina. He then goes on to say that he wanted to draft JSN. He ultimately drafted Paris Johnson. I’d be happy with that pick.

I like Zay, but nowhere bears the draft price he’s being projected. Too much of a gamble. Let a team
That has pieces get him, as I see him as a luxury pick for teams that already have weapons.

If Carolina is giving up three first, I would judge it unlikely that they are also giving up any seconds this year. Getting solid players in the second round are what makes up for not having future first rounders.

Just consider the difference of SF's trade to get lance. While the scenario is different (third best QB instead of first, and moved from 12 to 3) the compensation should be held next to that to establish a floor.

Three firsts and a third, mirroring that trade, is a floor to consider.
Wait a minute, if Miami got 3 1st and a 3rd for the 3rd best quarterback in the draft, and you're saying that trade is the floor (which I agree with) why are you then saying that Carolina giving up 3 1st and a 2nd as unlikely?

Maybe, I dont know what to think of mock drafts made by fans and entertaining broadcasters, but I think that his game tape says that he should be something like #50 overall. Aside from one really nice catch, I dont think Washington did anything that was unexpected. He looked exactly like the kind of prospect that he showed on tape (which, to me, is a major point in his favor).

I'll continue to dream of JSN running a stick/out from the slot with Washington running a late slant behind him. In this dream, the two of them can beat any coverage combination, and forces teams to give them the attention that opens Claypool or Mooney to win a 1-on-1 on a deep pass.

Exactly. These teams aren’t paying to move up, they’re competing with each other and have to pay Poles to not take more. There’s a QB tax, an Anderson tax, and a you’re not the only one who wants it tax.

Houston, their 1st, 12th, 2nd, and Cleveland’s first to Las Vegas’ 1st, 2nd, and next year’s first. Make it happen. Too much? The price went up. Put your money on the table.

There’s no reason that can’t be done by Bijan and Kmet. Just sayin’!

Three firsts and both 2s this year is far steeper a price to offer. I dont think it is an unreasonable demand, I think it is the kind of trade that would make Carolina wilt and say no-thank-you

I wouldnt hate Bijan at 9, but JSN running the split-out in the slot is something we all know is a competitive play in week 1. Bijan is a good receiver as a running back, he is not the best receiver in the draft.

I do think that he would be running wheel routes a few times a week for Chicago. There just arent a lot of LBs that have the coverage skills to keep up with him on that route, he has the burst and agility to get north-south in a hurry, and I would bet the only way to really cover that for most teams would take a DB out of coverage.

EDIT - also, in this dream, JSN and Washington have to be covered by a LB, NB, and S together to stand a chance at stopping a first down.

Well, you didn't say both 2nds. You said 3 1st's and a 2nd
