I think a lot of people are going to be surprised at how well our current bunch of WR's do. And for goodness sake, NO MORE BOLDIN. Hes gone, get over it.

Exactly. I'm not sure why this Boldin pipe dream keeps gaining more momentum.

The Boldin pipe dream comes from the fact that very few people believe our WR's will surprise anyone, and that based on who is out there, he is the best remaining (unless you want to take a chance on an oft injured Victor Cruz). It isn't so much a love affair as a last resort. I am in the group that thinks that we have seen the best of Perriman, Wallace is streaky, Chris Moore has shown nothing, Campanaro can't stay on the field, and neither can the majority of our tight ends who constitute the walking injured as far as I am concerned. Every TE has missed an entire year or multiple games, every single one, either injured or suspended. Other than Wallace, I don't see a reliable every down receiver on this team. Just my opinion.

Perriman only had 66 targets last year. That's just over 4 a game in his first year of playing in the NFL. A bunch of his targets were those horrible screens or 2 yard outs.

You think we've seen the best of a guy coming off of consecutive knee injuries in his first year playing?

You may prove to be right, but he's only had one season. Lets give the guy a chance before burying him.

Humphrey wasn't a bad pick from a player stand point, he needs some work but obviously doesn't have to be a starter right away. I just thought it was a bad spot to pick a corner considering how deep this draft is with them. Trading back and grabbing him later or a OT would have made more sense if that was going to be the guy. Pass rusher, even if it was a bit of a reach at 16 would have been more impactful right away, or Reuben Foster but who knows what his situation is right now. Feel like the first round pick needed to be a guy who had a legit shot at being a starter right away and not just a depth move. Long term though, adding Humphrey was smart, thats's really what I think this pick was about since Carr may not be here long and Jimmy is always hurt.

I thought Bucky Brooks made the best point. In a deep draft, you just have to not strike out in Round 1. There are boom or bust prospects and there are solid but not spectacular prospects. This looks like the latter so far. If this guy turns into a #2 corner for the next 6 years, it's a win with the pick.

I'd rather have picked the next Brandon Carr than another hail mary type player. If he turns out to be Shareece Wright, we'll all have reason to complain, but everything I've seen so far says he'll be a solid B player for the next few years.

Ozzie's had plenty of bad 1st round picks, especially lately. But this is the worst ever.

Havent even seen the kid play, pump your brakes....would say the worst 1st rounder we had are between Michael Oher and Matt Elam

The guy that started at RT when we won a Super Bowl is the worst 1st round pick we've ever made? Elam I can see being in the argument but Oher started a lot of games, and while he wasn't the consistent pro bowler we have all gotten used to from Ozzie, he was a consistent starter and was only a 23rd overall. Even Elam was a #32 pick.

Travis Taylor at #10 in 2000 or Bowler at #19 in 2003 would be worse value picks than either of those guys when you take into account the strength of the draft spot.
