    Zay Jones in the 3rd.
    We have to stop other teams from scoring.

    OJ Howard shouldn't be ---- I have a feeling JROB is gonna make a strong run at Jake Butt in the 3rd.

    So because Ebron flopped no one should ever take a TE at #5?

    Very interesting perspectives. We absolutely need a big time receiver, I would love to get Solomon, but I would hate to give up on Dodd. Hooker would be amazing but he's already hurt.

    I hope to Jesus they could trade down to around 12, take Davis then take Reddick/Foster. We hopefully would pick up an early 2nd and we can grab Budda Baker or Adoree. Howard is a luxury.

    Exactly. Ebron had inconsistent hands and wasn't asked to be much of an inline TE. Plus he had off the field issues.

    Trading down is of course the best option. This thread is just about if we have to pick somebody @5. I feel we have way more options than ppl realize. It's everybody's personal opinion though.

    Like you mentioned having a big time Wr is near the top of our needs. I think Ross fits our need at the position the most out of any of the WR prospects and he is worthy of top 5 consideraion.

    If not for his nightmare injury history I'd agree.

    At 18 he'll yes. But at 5? Nah.

    Not even in this draft with so many prospects graded nearly the same after Myles Garrett?

    I watch a guy that has things we have struggled with for almost two decades to find in a WR that has put it all together. A guy that can consistently win 1 on 1 matchups with good route running and speed. Has reliable hands. Also is a high character football player.

    Another big factor is this guy isnt a project, and he isn't a one trick pony either.

    I know most ppl may not get past his injury history. I get that. But look how he has bounced back from all of them. Minor shoulder surgery shouldn't scare ppl off. Heck he played through it most of the season. I won't be surprised if he turns out to be the best offensive player out of this draft class.

    Ross has had 1 good yr. in his freshman and sophomore years he combined for 31 total catches. Please find me a top 10 drafted wr who was so unproductive early in college....combine that with his injury history and the fact that he isn't even 6 feet tall and their is no way he is in consideration as a top 10 pick....speed is the one thing he has going for him. I do not think he is a very polished route runner. And speed gets negated in the red zone when you really need to be more physical.
