Re: WRs - Again, I must reiterate I haven't watched much of them yet like I have in the past, but Toney definitely seems like the real deal to me. He seems like a guy that should go top 20 in a normal draft at worst. Moore looks really good but his injury issues the last two years are very concerning; you have to go back to his freshman year to really see him at his best (but he was as good a freshman WR as pretty much anyone in the history of college football). Atwell...I don't know. Even in his highlights he doesn't jump off the screen the way Toney and Moore do, but he does seem talented and versatile, and I know Daniel Jeremiah views him as a 1st round guy.

Re: RBs - I get it. If that ends up being the pick at #30, I'll be disappointed but I won't be legitimately angry about it. But again, I just think it's a lot more important to use draft picks on valuable positions. If you hit on a pass-rusher at #30, you're paying a guy $1 million that you'd ideally be paying $15+ million. If you hit on a RB there, you're paying him $1 million that you'd ideally be paying $2-5 million for. I definitely get it in terms of targeting more versatile RBs if you're gonna do it, and I agree with that thinking, but at the same time, we just saw the Chiefs do this with Edwards-Helaire last year (who I liked a lot as a draft prospect) and then the season played out and there were 5+ rookie RBs that were better than him.

Edit: I meant to mention this before, but we could potentially go back to the Carolina Pipeline and target Curtis Samuel if we want to replace McKenzie/get more receiving out of our backfield that way too.
