Honestly if Mike or anyone in the war room is unsure of who to take then ask Joe himself.

Name one superstar WR tom Brady has had besides Randy Moss.

People will say Welker and Edelman and other names will get tossed around.

Brady looks amazing because he has always had a strong O-line that kept him clean. (His Super Bowl losses are win the Giants sacked him and pressured him endlessly.), he is a talented QB and being a talented QB behind a really stout O-line he was able to elevate the play of average WRs, not too mention the system in New England was damn near perfectly built.

Give Burrow an offensive line of studs (we don't have the scouts and development that New England or Pitt or others have so you have to take the sure things on the line) and watch what he can do when he actually can step back, set his feet and look over the field. The kid can be amazing if they do the right thing and protect him.


Then in rounds 4 and after you look at:

DYAMI BROWN, NORTH CAROLINA

Brown has got some of the best releases of any receiver in this draft class. And he better with how often North Carolina’s offense asked him to get vertical. His career average depth of target in three seasons for the Tar Heels was a ridiculous 17.1 yards downfield. For comparison, Rashod Bateman’s is the second-highest of any receiver in this top 10 at only 13.7 yards.

For those of you wanting a deep threat...


or

TYLAN WALLACE, OKLAHOMA STATE

With 205 catches, 3,424 yards, and 25 touchdowns in his career, Wallace trails only DeVonta Smith in the draft class in terms of raw production. He’s a former track standout who can separate deep and also win at the catch point, with 44 contested catches in his career.



But what about TE Murdock... we want Pitts...


No worries... got you covered as well...

BREVIN JORDAN, MIAMI (FL.)

Per 247Sports' composite ranking, Brevin Jordan was the top tight end prospect in the country coming out of Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas. Jordan racked up 63 receptions for 1,111 yards and 13 touchdowns during his senior season. He had 31 offers in total — a list that included nearly every blue-blood program in the country — but ultimately signed with Miami. Brevin’s father, Darrell, was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the 1990 NFL Draft. Jordan showed up at Miami looking like a running back but being called a tight end. His usage was closer to that of a running back, with an average depth of catch of only 3.4 yards downfield. After filling out his frame a bit more, Jordan still looks like a running back, only now that running back is Derrick Henry. Jordan has a very clear path to success in a Shanahan-Kubiak scheme that runs its tight ends on a lot of drags, flats and seams where speed and YAC are king. The problem is that he'll have to prove to defenses that he's a legit inline threat first.


So... he is a big bodied bad ass weapon that wasn't used to run deep routes, but was used on short crosses and then used to blow up defenders... gee that sounds like how we use TE's in this offense.


or...


Hunter Long, TE, Boston College


 Long had a good 2020 season, showing solid pass-receiving ability for the next level. He could be a solid tight end who could become a starter or a good No. 2 or 3 tight end. Long is a solid blocker and looks like a potential starting Y tight end for the NFL.


In the passing game, Long has good size does an excellent job of winning contested catches. He uses his build to wall off defenders with skilled body control and awareness to put himself in between the ball and coverage. Long has soft reliable hands and good concentration to secure the catch while defenders are initiating contact. Long is a good red-zone contributor as a result, functioning well on underneath routes. Going down the seam and along the sideline, Long is a weapon to make catches over defenders when nothing else is open.



There is talent in later rounds at TE and WR that can come in and start on day 1.

There is talent in later rounds on the O-line but they are developmental guys that will need work or coming off major injury like Landon Dickerson.

This is a must get it right moment and the right is keeping Burrow from a 2nd major knee surgery do to shit O-line play.


CarolinaBengalFanGuy - The only part of this that was directed towards you was the agreement on Brady lol... sorry, I just got off track as I typed.
