??? It’s going to get ugly and prove Pete and John no longer know what’s going on during the draft.

If not, they're high on Fuller and Lewis proved a decent replacement in his single game of action last year.
If you're just randomly assuming a rookie would slot in and do any better, especially a late second rounder, then I'm not sure you understand the reality of the NFL. Far from a sure thing.
The floor for a late 2nd rounder is still probably better than Fuller has played in his career thus far.Maelstrom787":3d5a793d said:If you're just randomly assuming a rookie would slot in and do any better, especially a late second rounder, then I'm not sure you understand the reality of the NFL.

Eskridge is nice to have, but seems more like a luxury pick. Josh Myers or Creed Humphrey would've filled a much bigger need.

Easy now. Some think that 3rd receiver spot is the most important position on the field, when in reality, its not. Any cheap free agent would have been just fine. Eskridge was a luxury pick.
Whose -> O-U-R , Not -> "ARE" ....s#*t, I am half drunk :irishdrinkers: an hour & a half away from kickoff on OUR first pre-season game, and even I KNOW how to correctumly spell the rite words... sum uv you all need some skooling...PM me an I'll learn ya, OH KAY? :vodka:zchurch74":1ff3sk7v said:???

Much respect to maelstrom but with what we have at WR1 and WR2, and with our OL history, I take a C prospect all day over WR3. I personally believe that OL depth is priority and I’m puzzled at folks who do not.Maelstrom787":18mrvq2u said:pittpnthrs":18mrvq2u said:massari":18mrvq2u said:Eskridge is nice to have, but seems more like a luxury pick.

Way to completely misrepresent the argument regarding WR3.
Pocic may be average, but he and Haynes are made of glass and can't be counted on to play when needed. Doubtful that improves with age.Maelstrom787":ujzd69qr said:Not really. You have a dead average starting center in Pocic and a guy who has constantly pushed him and may have even won in camp regardless in Fuller, along with developmental Haynes and emergency (but very good) option in Lewis.
WR3 on the other hand? Swain. And then zip, at a position that needs a lot more depth than center, at which C1 plays 100% of the snaps. It was a bigger need than is being acknowledged.
Really hard for me to get on board with center being a bigger need at the time than depth at WR. Maybe if we were back in 2000 and the I-form was still a supreme option.
Most were hoping to upgrade Center either in free agency or the draft, but once again it was neglected. The Adams trade likely the cause.The team already tried to replace/aggressively push Pocic by signing B.J. Finney during last year's free agency period. In the end, Pocic won the job after Finney showed up to camp out of shape.
Pocic is a solid center. However, his weaknesses are consistent and cap certain elements of the offense. For instance: he struggles one-on-one in pass protection or in the run game, which could really frustrate Waldron as he tries to get his center to reach block dudes one-on-one on outside zone runs.
