Tell you what I'll bet you $100 right now that we take a WR in the first round.

You don't think Beckham runs good routes?





Him on Jason Verrett one of the best CBs in the draft:

He's going to say it was against bad competition. He's gonna keep saying the same dumb shite at this point it's not worth debating it with him.

That's a sucker bet because knowing the Saints they could take anything from a WR to a DT to a QB depending on who's available.

I've said if the best player is a pass rusher, we will take him. If it's a receiver, we will take him. Anything outside of FB, K, and P is on the board in the first round(though with the way HB is going in the league that might be off the board too).

If Mosley, Manziel, Cooks, and Verrett are all there I honestly could not tell you who'd they take because I have no clue how they have them rated.

My point to you is just because we meet with a couple of receivers doesn't mean it's a lock. It just means we are doing our homework to make the most informed decision, and that WR is ONE of the targets in the first.

So does that mean you wont take the bet?

They have always said that but they always kinda show their hand in the off season as the direction they are leaning if you watch what they do. Look at the people we have signed and resigned.

Look I'm not trying to argue with you.

I might add I always call what position we draft in the first and most of the time the person. Not trying to toot my own horn just stating facts.

Since Payton got here I have mocked the pick correct every year except Bush because I thought the Texans would take him, and Robinson threw me off.

Of course not because the fact they are looking at WRs means they are looking at WRs.

But that doesn't make it a 100% lock. I'd give it maybe 30%, depending on who else is available. Say all the top CBs and LBs are gone, along with no one else rated highly dropping far. That definitely ups the odds dramatically.

But what if Lee, Cooks, and Beckham are gone(along with the top 2 guys)? That would tank the chances of taking a receiver.

It's not just what we do, but also what other teams do. And at 27, that's 26 other teams/players affecting what we ultimately do.

But congrats on your record to this point and congrats again if you get it right this year.

Beckham runs better routes than any of the guys going in the first round, IMO.

He gets way more separation coming out of his breaks than say Landry does.

I think one of Cooks, OBJ or Lee will be there. but only one of them, I really hope its Cooks but I'm afraid the Eagles will take him to replace Desean Jackson.

You think Brandon Cooks is as polished a WR as Beckham?

You are out of your mind.

He's faster. But, not nearly the natural WR Beckham is.

I think you're right, but we've seen crazy things in the draft before.

Hell, maybe teams feel the draft is so deep there that they don't want to use their first round pick on a WR and all 3 fall to us. Who knows.

That's all I'm trying to say. There is just so many variables that I think saying 100% for sure it will be this or won't be that is futile.

He just started telling himself that and now assumes it's true. I doubt he can find examples of this "bad route running". There's a reason guys like Mayock were saying he was the smoothest wr in the drills at the combine.
