Bill surprised everyone. I would have bet that he would trade down before picking a receiver. Let’s see if he can confound us one more time, because most of his WR picks end up as busts.

As that Pats pick arrived I thought they may take Irv Smith or Drew Lock actually but Harry could be a shrewd addition for Brady & Co.
Irv Smith Jr, Jawaan Taylor, Greg Little, DK Metcalf, AJ Brown, Byron Murphy, Greedy Williams, Cody Ford, Hakeem Butler, Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Parris Campbell, Dalton Risner, Rock Ya-Sin, Drew Lock...
I think it's gonna be fairly difficult for the Jags to screw this pick up even if all the O-linemen go ahead of us. Lots of good talent that could/should(?) easily have gone in the latter half of R1 is available.
Having read up on reactions from people who know more than me, the Bradbury pick is growing on me. Elflein hasn’t been all that at centre but played a lot of guard in college so can easily slide over while Bradbury is being compared to Kelce so hopefully can hold down the middle of the line for years to come.
Taylor, Ford, Little and Risner are still on the board and I wouldn’t be all that shocked to see us trade up a couple of spots to get one of them.
Zimm's not going two rounds without signing a corner.
Oh no doubt, if we get in a position to get one of the top remaining they might look at dealing Waynes too, I’ve seen a few local journos say it’s possible.
That pick makes sense with Murray gone, looks a bit of a bruiser back to pick up the tough yards from Dalvin. We now have NINE picks tomorrow. I’m pretty sure we literally can’t afford to pay that many players so have the freedom to move as and when we want to for a player we want.
I know he won't go early in the draft, he probably won't be selected until round 4 or 5 but every time I've seen him play (admitted only 4 or 5 times) I've been impressed with Hunter Renfrow.
Hes quick, can catch throws coming from all sorts of angles and really pulled Clemson through at times BUT he is on the smaller side and therefore he struggles when going for a contested catch. Won't be breaking many tackles but get him the ball when he's open and he won't drop it.
The negatives force him into day 3 of the draft but I'll be really interested to see where he goes and how he adapts to the NFL.
Our window expires this year. Ramsey will eclipse this (and quite rightly - pay that man); Ngakoue will demand big money (again quite rightly); and so will Jack (three for three, what a 2016 draft class we had).
But... oh man, we're going to have to throw around SERIOUS money to keep hold of our young talent. God knows how we're gonna do it.
Yhe, good luck to him and hope to see him back soon. The Ramsey situation at the Jags is intriguing. I wouldn't be surprised if he is traded by this time next year.

Why would we trade him? Assuming Telvin isn't playing this year, we're saving $13m in cap. That can then roll over to next year, and with the cap increase and other savings (cutting possibly Dareus, for instance), we'll have plenty of room to pay at least him and Ngakoue.
He's possibly the best corner in the NFL and I have little doubt we will pull out all the stops to retain him.

Rock Ya-Sin to the Colts at 34. (Coolest name in the draft)
Great bit of work from the FO to snag him in round 2, and I don't think we gave much up either.
With two third round picks as well, I'm hoping for another killing draft class...

Speculation of course, but I think his mental health is in a bit of a state and I want him to take all the time off he needs.
In terms of how this affects the team - he was pretty rubbish last year tbf, and with Jake Ryan signed, we can probably find ways to cover him.
But #10toesdown Telvin, all the best man.
