That 2016 draft is looking pretty damn good about now too. Though we had to trade 2 turds to get good players out of them.
Rd 2: Chris Jones - stud
Rd 3: KeiVarae Russell - bust
Rd 4: Parker Ehinger - traded for Charvarius Ward
Rd 4: Eric Murray - traded for Emmanuel Ogbah
Rd 4: DeMarcus Robinson - solid
Rd 5: Kevin Hogan - poopoo
Rd 5: Tyreek Hill - stud
Rd 6: D.J. White - bleh
Rd 6: Dadi Nicolas - was fun to have a guy named Dadi for a while [Reply]

Pretty fucking good, Dorsey.
Having the cap space to keep both is pretty Veach.
Also, flipping two meh picks for two legit defenders is great. Overall, I really liked Dorsey and am also very happy with the transition to Veach. [Reply]
When Tyreek first began playing at WR, he was really just a speed guy, but over the last three years or so he's really come a long way in his route-running. Watched these recently, and just liked the breakdown on just how Tyreek has evolved as a route runner:
So here's a video discussing Tyreek in 2017, with Alex Smith as his QB. Notice how most of the time he's just using his speed and quickness to get open. However, you can also see that he's a quick learner, as evidenced by his two plays against Aquib Talib. If the first instance, Talib wins the battle by getting a really good punch on Tyreek, slowing him down and also completely disrupting the timing of the play. In the second instance, Tyreek uses his footwork to disrupt Talib's footwork and blows right by him.
Yeah - and I wonder if that sore shoulder led to a couple of his drops after that play - including the back shoulder throw that Mahomes put right on the money. [Reply]
