B-

Rattler is trash and won't start in the league. If he doesn't become an asset in the film room, he may end up being cut.

Ford was a reach.

Last guy is quintessential I'm smarter than you Saints pick with some off the wall OT from small school.

Bum WR is whatever.

First two picks I think were as solid as can be expected.

I agree with you on Rattler’s total game, I never understood why the media kept trying to say he was creeping up draft boards like he was some great prospect.

He would need a shite TON of development, but it’s a 5th….so it doesn’t bother me quite as much

Maybe, but he was a top 100 player on almost all draft boards and projected as a 2nd to 3rd rounder. Good value pick at 150, and you can't win the QB lottery if you don't buy a ticket.

#129 player on CBS. "Early day 3" prospect on PFF. We got him at 175.

7th round, dude. Come on.

Happens to be Mel Kiper's favorite receiver:

Means has an intriguing blend of size, strength and speed. He ran a 4.43-second 40-yard dash at the combine and had a 39.5-inch vertical leap. He put up solid numbers even with some rough quarterback play. And he has huge hands and long arms. There's a lot to like here for wide receiver coaches. Projection: Means is likely to be drafted in Round 3, though he might need a little bit of development time before he reaches his potential.

Do you expect a 5th round qb to be a nfl starter? I think in the 5th round taking a gamble on Rattler with his talent is great value.

You’re literally criticizing 5th and 6th round picks lol. Ford is a reach in the 5th round?? Some of you guys are a little silly in regards to expecting starting talent this late in the draft.
