100% - Downs is exciting - he's like Flowers if you strapped a jetpack to his back
Downs might go R1
he's the sort of guy that creeps higher and higher on my board every time i watch him and i imagine the possibilities

100% - Downs is exciting - he's like Flowers if you strapped a jetpack to his back
Downs might go R1
he's the sort of guy that creeps higher and higher on my board every time i watch him and i imagine the possibilities
i could see it depending on who's on the board
looks like 25-35 might be the sweet spot for a nice clump of WRs in this class
right now im only dug in on WR and EDGE so tough to tell
have heard the CB class is excellent though

haha too early for that
go and have a look at him though and see what you think
undersized but explosive, balanced, twitchy, fluid, great body control, good at the catchpoint, plays above his size in contested situations but most importantly has the kind of functional speed that does funny things to defenders
doesnt play that well through contact in the route, not super alignment versatile (probably limited to slot, z and motion work)
man i feel like im talking myself into him just listing all the traits though lol
dont think anything changes about the need with or without roman

Agree the need does not change. In fact the need is probably only greater. I'm talking about the type of WR

I’m with you thinking that Addison is WR1. However, this news could be beneficial to us. Maybe we can trade back acquire another a 3rd round pick and still get the pick of the litter after Addison. Or just stick at 22 and pick Addison.

I'm just hoping people either WAAAYY overdraft these WRs so we can get another stud at CB. ORRRR we see another Hollywood style draft where the first WR is off the board really late and we can take Addison

I can only see Addison and Johnston going top 20. But I can definitely see us drafting a CB. Either way I would be happy tbh

Keep an eye out on Charlie Jones out of Purdue.

I didn't watch any Purdue really this year. Looked up this highlight video... that kid looks pretty cool. Things I noticed. He seemed to have a free release basically every time he made a play which is a tiny bit concerning. Maybe not elite speed either. But boy did it seem like he ran the entire route tree, had a knack for finding the soft spot, knew what he was doing downfield, and showed some ability to make contested catches.

Charlie Jones a white boy? Sorry.. he’s a patriot.

lol, could also be a Ram, but yeah most likely a Patriot.
