If Jeanty, T-McMillan and Will Johnson are on the board at #9, who are you taking? (18 Viewers)

McMillan gives the Saints the big-bodied receiver they haven't had since Michael Thomas was no longer available. While he isn't the burner Shaheed is, he opens things up for both Olave and Shaheed. Given these choice, as much as I really like Jeanty, I'd select the WR.

Carr gonna get the blame he gets because he cursed himself with bad mojo. DAT Chipotle event is bad mojo and he reeks of it.

If fans cannot get past a trip to Chipotle, then we're the problem, not Carr.

He may be the right pick at #9, I'm just saying he's not likely going to be a guy that has the speed to take it the distance like Thomas or Nabors. Cam got a bad 40 on Tet. Most are saying that he ran in the 4.55 range, maybe 4.57, not 4.48.

I still think he's going to be a very good player for short to intermediate routes, he's just not likely to be a guy you count on to take the top off of a defense. Not that he won't occasionally get open deep on people.

Beyond that, he's the perfect fit for the kind of WR we need. Although his lack of separation in college is a bit of a concern.

A guy doesn’t need a 4.4 time to be able to take it the distance. He just has to know how to run clean routes, get his guy off balance/reroute them, and if the ball is placed correctly, then it’s a house call. Sure speed is a killer, but a lot of 4.5 guys were big play guys. Colston, Lamb (currently), Chad Johnson, and Dez Bryant comes to mind. Antonio Brown, D Hop, Davante Adams, Mike Evans I believe were in the 4.5 range. Anquan Boldin and Jerry Rice were 4.7 guys.
I only referenced BTJ bc he was selected in the 20s last year. So, he was able to be had, unlike a guy who is selected in the top 5, who we never have a chance at drafting.

I have to go with Jeanty.

Hard to pass on Jeanty, but would have to say for the odds , I would go with Tet because I don't think Olave will last long with the concussions. In fact I might actually consider trading Olave for whatever I can get before his contract is up.

Take the big receiver and then get a capable RB later in the draft.

If Scattebo doesn't fall to us in the second round, then take the best guard you can get or corner

That's fair. It just sounded like in your original post that you meant that we should take McMillan and should instead look for a guy who is a game breaker like Nabors or Brian Thomas, Jr. I agree that a slower guy can still make big plays, especially a guy with YAC like McMillan, but he's not the kind of guy you expect to do that game after like say Shaheed, Thomas, Jr., and Nabors. But, I apparently misunderstood.
