He's a really good blocker and he catches pretty much everything within reach. Look at his 2016 tape and you'd question his speed and quickness. Look at his 2015 tape and you definitely would not. Assuming he gets back to that 2015 form (no reason he shouldn't...), we may have locked WR2 down for the foreseeable future.
Great post! Sounds like a future weapon for PM2. Good hands and blocker, plus it looked like he has a knack for getting behind defenses, based on his highlight video. Solid Pick!! :-) [Reply]
Anything after the 2nd, maybe early-mid 3rd is a complete and utter crapshoot. Maybe this guy adds some depth, but probably not. Just like every other player taken around him.
If Mahomes is legit, he'll make this guy look better than he is either way, something Alex Smith is incapable of doing. This draft will be a success or failure based entirely on that first move. We could send Tupowhateverthehell to the Hall and the RB could have a Holmes or Charles career and it won't mean dick if Mahomes sucks. [Reply]

Probably another yearly Dorsey Preseason trade where he ships one of our bottom WRs to the NFC.
Junior spent three years playing sandlot ball with Denard Robinson under what may have been Michigan's worst-ever coaching staff. Chesson may already be more polished as a receiver right now than Hemingway is after 5 years in the NFL. [Reply]

Correct...but this guy probably would have been available in the 5th.
And now Denver of all teams, just drafted Jake Butt.
Yes he's injured and may not be back til 1/3 way into the season, but hes a 1st rd talent that could have been had at the end of the 4th rd. When players like that drop you have to snag em. That would have been helluva value pick. [Reply]
