I chose for all 32 teams through two rounds this morning and ended up with Penning, Williams, and Metchie.
A pair of Alabama WRs coming off of ACL's. Mocks are fun, but the different scenarios lead different thought
patterns. If it weren't for the injuries, would either of these receivers be available to us where we pick in the
first two rounds? I'm thinking probably not. Fit? An elite outside deep threat, and a super twitchy speed slot.
That pairs up perfectly with CGM. Do I think we'd take two high picks at the same position coming off serious
injuries 4/5 months ago? No. But if we did, I can see a reason for it.
So we would have:
- Winston returning from ACL
- Mike Thomas returning from Ankle
- Maye returning from Achilles and suspended a few games
- Kamara suspended for a slew of games.
- 2 high draft picks returning from ACL
We're likely to struggle out the gate this year. Especially if AK starts the year on suspension. Neither of the
two receivers will get much work if any in the offseason and camp. The first half of the year could be a little
like the end of last year when we were just trying to steal a win where we could with the players we have available.
But then, somewhere around mid-season... AK's back. Maye's back. MT is back to form. Jameis is back to form.
And we have two absolute burners come off the bench to join them. A whole new offense and a whole new ball
game.
