@rossihunter2 Have you looked at the white boy Charlie Jones yet? I think he could be a cool 4th round pick or something

he doesn't have that Jahan Dotson "play big" attitude, even though he's 6'4. I was a big fan of Dotson because of his ability to high point the ball, catch with his hands, and play physical.
not yet graded him - watched him in passing vs a lot of CB prospects though - nothing has really shone out to me as being someone i want to take a particularly long look at yet...
was seeing not much separation and glanced at this stat graphic:
notice just how many more contested targets Jones has vs everyone else - obviously that doesnt tell the whole story if it was just the stat but id say it someone supports what im seeing so far
have you seen anything that you think should get me to move him up my watch list a bit?
I don't know if this was posted or shared, but the Ravens were glued to the hip of Flowers today and made it hard for other teams to talk to him.
was interesting that he decided to go to the shrine bowl instead of the senior bowl

Yeah let me add this one to that.
Realistically he's not a viable WR target in the NFL. He's like Proche or like Omar Bayless. Had huge college production but is not a great athlete and separation was definitely a problem.
But he's probably one of these core special teamers and round out the back end of the roster kinda guys.
I know nothing about him, or many of the prospects this year, but I was reading from people who have watched him and they opined he's basically Lamar if Lamar played wide receiver.
ill have to take a proper look to see what i think
but if he's got nothing to him as a WR, im not gonna draft him for special teams - he can come in as a udfa for that - normally special teamers are better athletes than he seems to be
i think that doesnt do him enough credit lol
he's a shorter receiver who does have that sort of change of direction, explosion and speed that would remind you of lamar
but he's a legit WR and not just a YAC gadget guy
Everything I've read is that he's the real deal and that he was fully held back by the quarterback situation. The Lamar comment was specifically about his insane agility and explosiveness that leaves ankles looking like spaghetti.

I feel like posting #SIIE but I ain't there yet LOL.
as it turns out, Marvin Mims is the brother to Denzel Mims of the Jets

Would love to double dip at WR but I'm feeling kinda down about the team rn. Like of all years to really need a big draft class it's this one. But we have so few picks and no second rounder.
Plus with Lamar almost certainly playing on the tag the WR isn't going to be meaningfully addressed in FA. They say the room is getting overhauled but I seriously doubt it.
Bateman stays
Assume Duv stays
One generic FA WR that does not matter
One WR draft pick
Maybe you keep Tylan. Maybe you bring back DRob. Maybe Watkins but he ran his mouth like an idiot.
Point is I don't see how the room could really be all that different with the total lack of resources.
MOTHER-FUCK HIM.

I remember this board was highly annoyed when the Ravens too Dobbins instead of Mims lol

This is an interesting stat. I watch a lot of Big 10 and Charlie Jones made a lot of plays all the way from bubble screens to deep shots. Covered all the bases. Looking at this tho I am thinking day 3 but what all is involved with these stats. Could the QB have been inaccurate, late on his throws or just forcing the ball. What kind of defense was employed? Were these contested passes more on the intermediate/deep throws? Was there double or blanket coverage? Could there have been botches by other receivers causing closer coverage? Was the OC a pupil of Roman? Last one a joke but hopefully you give him a look. Now that Jalin Hyatt..........Wow!!!!! Also have to take a look at Hamdon Hooker at QB
yeah a lot of us wanted Mims, but Dobbins has been very good when he's been on the field. Some wanted Epenesa also.

I was on the Epenesa train lol and I still like him. Flip our 6th for him.
although not quite the same player, Madubuike has done better and played more snaps.
@lost was also on the Epenesa train.
