What If - Feb 16

[SpringStein]

What if our first three draft picks go like this? Will you be excited? Livid? ( that would be LGM for most picks) or Blah.

Todays comes from FanSided:
20. Matthew Golden, WR, Texas
51. Chris Paul Jr, LB, OL Miss
85. Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas

Would not be my favorite route but what do I know? I do like Helm though and would be good value at 85.

How about this:

20. Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan
51. TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
85. Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson

Why don’t you post that for tomorrow’s What If? That way we don’t get the comments too mangled up. And some of us are quite good at mangling - and strangling!

First of all seeing that many more Longhorns might drive me back to being a Steelers fan! (That was for LGM)

Secondly, I know first round is supposed to be for value, not position - but WR isn’t my preferred position in round one - unless it is someone like McMillan from AZ or maybe Burden from MIzzou - those would be value. I don’t think Golden screams value.

I’d say the exact same thing about Paul Jr in the second, that screams reach for a position of need. Now if we took him at 85, no issue.

Helm at 85 is great value and obviously a poison of need.

Overall, I’d be disappointed and give a maybe generous D+.

I'm not in the bad category, but Golden is a poor man's Mims. So poor choice there.

Helm at 85 is a steal, love this pick. I can see him being an Ertz or Andrews type of guy.

Chris Paul is a reach with our second pick. He's the small tweener without great speed. Liked him better at Arkansas than last year at ol miss. Like a ST's version on Strnad.

Overall Golden is a great wr and weapon, Helm is a day 1 starter. Paul is a bust. Id sat C+ or B-
