    Getting faster in a spread em out league which is something that has murdered our boys. Adapt, overcome, and conquer... After blowing off some steam with the first pick,things are getting clearer were soldiering on good first 2 picks.

    Well they weren't lying when they said they wanted speed.

    Speed Kills.

    he can line up in the slot. he is a great pick and no way does he last long on day 3. he is fastest player in draft. I am happy. he could bring more to the table than any wr left on the board as far as explosiveness

    100%. There is now no acceptable reason to put AB back on punt return ever again.

    I would've loved Archer in the 4th but I wanted Desir

    4.26 40? Damn. Maybe this spells the end of Brown doing punt returns?

    I think I called this at some point. They're hungry for that explosive small speedster.

    He's explosive but about 2 rounds too early for my taste, considering what we still need. Oh well, maybe he will be a good weapon for us.

    That's pretty awful. Wonder if he can return punts so AB won't have to anymore?

    Way way way way too early. Would have considered him in the 5th, not here.

    I hope they use him like Sproles if they think so highly of him. A head scratcher here.

    Wow…. I did not see that coming at all. It definitely evokes images of McCluster. I wonder if this was Ben's big WR? :cool:

    Yup, too early. Lack of a true 3rd this year hurt....

    100%. Haley had his hands all over this pick.

    I wanted a scat back, but not in the 3rd round. I think passing on a legitimate WR or CB here could hurt the overall draft. We tried this with Chris Rainey, it didn't work.

    Just don't get it? Loved the first 2 rounds, but no CB?

    I think Desir may be available in the 4th.

    don't worry, they'll pick a WR the next round, then a TE, then a punter, then MAYBE they'll squeeze in some room in their draft to pick up a CB which is clearly not a priority for them.

    Lmao I'm to the point of just laughing at all the reactions on here. Brown can't return kicks anymore that's asking for him to get hurt. Let's see here I think McCluster tore it up in a haley system and he wasn't as ffast as Archer. This kid is faster then Wallace. He fits our offense and we needed a home run hitter.

    I have been sitting here watching Desir fall, thinking he would get snatched up, and then we don't pick him? Think there is any way he is still there when we pick tomorrow?

    we have a lot of picks left and there are some good players left. I bet we have 4 or 5 cbs targeted for the 4th. I think with archer wr becomes less of a need. I know I am in the minority but I am happy with these three picks. no way archer would make it to 5th round. 4th maybe but if we wanted him we had to take him here

    This was the comp for Wallace and they replaced him with a guy that is faster if you can believe that?
