Fast, physical enough, good route runner, by all accounts a willing blocker/teammate.
May not work out, in which case we'd be looking at someone like maybe Ayomanor or Kyle Williams. Lane could be in that group as well in the back of the 3rd or into the 4th. Maybe Jordan Watkins in the 7th round or De'Corian Clark.
But I think they want someone out there that can be physical and also be athletic enough to do the 'run-offs' that they like doing with someone like Watson or Watkins before him. They don't always use those receivers purely as pass-catchers and right now I think their 'big 3' are all guys that are somewhat lacking in those sort of gritty areas that they like to have someone occupy.
I'm not sure Lane does that. He feels more like a Skyy Moore replacement than a Justin Watson one. Remigio already gives us the Skyy Moore replacement. I don't see anybody on the roster who they'll want doing what Watson did.
I'm starting to get a bit of a crush on Royals, though. Be awfully happy if we get him but I also don't think we'll see a ton of him this season. He's still pretty green.

Royals reminds me of Khalil Shakir who was 3rd in the NFL in YAC last year. I love his fit here.
He’s still green but I think we could work him in early if needed. Love his size, explosion, hands and downfield speed. He’d be awesome here.
We need bigger athletic WR’s. Last year really exposed that flaw with Rashee out.
If this kid is there at 63 I’m taking him no question.
