[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 869647"] Thanks for the upadate. Elsewhere I mentioned Higgins in a trade down into the 2nd. round as a good value proposition in the likely scheme of things The board might roll out that way and if Gutekunst wants to add this one more big perimeter guy to the long list I wouldn't necessarily dis the pick. I might, though, if there's an exceptional value at another position of need being passed up. I just don't see a categorical imperative that the first or second guy taken be a WR receiver. Those kind of imperatives lead to reaches. As for FOMO, that's faced at every pick all down board and if you succumb to that you likely to end up with a lot of reaches. The value clusters at expected points in the draft are where overall value can be accumulated. Zerlein's ranking is just one guy's, a guy we happen to agree is pretty darn good at this. Each GM would have his own grading, the rankings all different. But the general idea of where the WR value is clustered still holds, with guys of widely varying skill sets to pick from. I doubt that perspective is much different in most GM's boards. In the case of Zerlein, note that he's taken his grades out to two decimal positions. I think that's new. Every guy I've looked at from last year's draft has an x.x0 grade, indicating one decimal point grading. The grading guide is still stated in terms of one decimal point. There are a couple of questions begged here. Anyway, if we take all those 2020 Zierline grades and round to one decimal position as appears to be the case from last year, [B]you'd have J. Jefferson at #6 with a 6.4 and G. Davis at #16 with a 6.3.[/B] That's a wide swath of splitting hairs well into the 3rd. round. I'm not arguing a 3rd. round WR is what should or will be done. Gutekunst hasn't shared his fave raves or his moneyball perspectives on value clusters, and until the board starts to fall out even he won't know what he'll do next with certainty. I'm illustrating somthing in the realm of plausibility. [/QUOTE]
