Nice to see some newer members chipping in!
The Niners just set the franchise back a few years.
Stupid pick.
Stevie Wonder promises to put on a show.
I think NFL teams are forgetting not every WR class is a sure thing. For years 1st round WRs bombed out. Recent years with dumbing down and offensive friendly league has been a bit different..I'm guessing it will swing back into majority BUSTS though.
They don't forget, they just know the will not be penalized and scrutinized. We see it in the Recent Busts thread - none of these teams are raked over the coals when a black player doesn't work out for them. If it were a white player drafted highly that busts then it's a different story.
But it speaks to the black quarterback hype machine that playing one year at an FCS schools has elevated him to the third overall pick. He is also getting Josh Allen comparisons - another fine example of a black player receiving the favorable comparison to a white player when the inverse never occurs.
To play devil's advocate, Carson Wentz didn't play a lot at NDSU either and he went second overall.
Carolina's pick is great news for Sam Darnold!
I could see Denver going with Field's.
It will be interesting to see who picks up Mac Jones now. Barring a trade it seems to me the Patriots would be the best fit - especially with Belichick's predilection for Alabama players.
