Best WR out of the 2024 draft class and you can’t convince me otherwiseÂ
Poles has hit on the big choices. Ben looks like a hit. Caleb is starting to look like a hit. Rome is starting to look like a hit. Darnell, false starts and recent injury aside, is a hit (not a star, but still very good). It’s still way, way too early for Loveland, but at least he showed exactly the kind of movement ability we drafted him for in the Dallas game with a big 31 yard catch (hopefully he just has a badly bruised hip and will be back for the rest of the year).
And Poles even hit on some other guys. Kyler, Brisker, Tyrique, maybe Gervon (still can’t quite tell if he’s good or not). . .
But then it’s like **everything else** where we’re just not hitting on mid to late rounders. Most teams will hit on a guy like Maxx Crosby, someone they pluck out of the middle rounds, and that pick carries major dividends. We just don’t have any of those picks. . . and it’s not as if Poles hasn’t had chances.
I get the people who wanted OL/EDGE with that pick, but Rome is the perfect receiver for Caleb.
Not ragging on Poles, but…. Caleb and Rome were the two most obvious picks of all time. Any GM with a pulse would do the same with how the draft went.
But keeps fields and draft Marvin Harrison Jr! /S
I’m sorry but nailing top ten picks should be the bare minimum expected of a GM
Kid is so goddamn smooth with the ball in his hands. That touchdown yesterday was just a little hiccup move after the catch and in
I’m not really a poles hater but I also don’t feel like we need to give him a ton of credit for picking the guy literally everyone was hoping would still be there at that pick. Credit for not overthinking it and doing the easy thing, but it’s not like he was taking a shot there either.
Rome was a clear consensus safe pick.
He should’ve done better in 24 weren’t the team so badly coached.
But Nabers has an speed element that Rome doesn’t.
The one before it too – Wright is a stud.
MHJ being thought of as the ‘worst’ of the three big WRs that draft is kind of shocking. I convinced myself early on when we didn’t have a chance at Nabers and Marv that Rome was the better player delusionally lol.
He’s a great player and will likely make the pro bowl this year
He’s definitely working better than MHJ or Nabers.
And hey he doesn’t even spit on people either
Edit: lol wrong draft
Hilarious. 2 weeks ago this reddit was dogging on Poles with jokes on how he drafts receivers and ignores the trenches. Now 2 weeks later it’s a flip flop
As a UW grad this is best case scenario. As the dawgs and bears both rebuild at least I have Rome doing stud things
True but we literally all wanted him too, didn’t exactly find a diamond in the rough
Anyone know where I can cop that sweatshirt? It’s sick
I’ll never give a GM credit for making obvious picks lol. Rome was a really good prospect. I judge Ryan Poles on his selections after the first round, and so far they’ve been terrible.
The NFL record is 23 receiving touchdowns by 2007 Randy Moss. I hope Rome has an opportunity to make a run at it this year.
Remember folks, people wanted to keep JF1 and draft MHJr instead of having Caleb and Rome. Give Poles some grace when he gets it right.
Honestly I never had a ton of issues with Poles early picks, it’s mostly the mid rounders that leave me confused
Thank the Falcons
I thought ATL was going to draft Rome, but they ended up going with Penix. Odd choice then and now
He was actually the guy I had hoped for. I was super excited when we drafted him. I was nervous abt him going earlier since New York took Nabers early but we def hit the jackpot w this guy.
and the pick 8 picks earlier too 🙂
I’m loving Rome!
Guy he picked b4 him also pretty good pick
He just kinda fell into our lap though. It’s not like he struck gold on a guy nobody else was sure about, the general consensus was that he would have been the top receiver in just about any other draft.
Rome was the easiest pick for any GM ever. It wasn’t even sprint to the podium it was T-Mobile to the Lectern
There’s one…. Gotta get lucky sometime
How many balls he drop this game?
Once Rome starts to haul in the really difficult catches man it’s going to be an unstoppable tandem.
The selection of Gale Sayers and Dick Butkus in the first round of the 1965 draft remains the only time a team has selected two Hall of Fame players in the first round of one draft. Could Caleb and Rome be next?
To be fair or unfair
Caleb almost forced him to make this pick
And how many other picks did he hit on? I thought Rome was kinda seen as a cant miss prospect or a guy who many expected to succeed so idk how much credit he should get for drafting a guy like that. The rest of his picks are good and/or injury prone at best. Ijs
Poles got a good player with a top ten pick?!? GM of the Year!
