I think one guy that will certainly have a dog in the fight is Jamari Thrash.

Yeah I might agree on Worthy. I could absolutely see his 40 being a disappointment. I like Thrash. I mean man there's LOTS. If we miss on one this year I'd be bummed. I'd probably hope we double dip tbh. Maybe a couple within the first 4 rounds, 1 in the top 2

We definitely need to add two WRs in the offseason. It doesn't have to be 2 in the draft, and I wouldn't advocate for it the way Andy uses rookies there. Darnell Mooney was a 1k receiver in Nagy's offense in Chicago. He's tailor-made for this offense. Grab him in FA and a rookie high. I can't believe we haven't traded for him, to be honest, but maybe they are asking too much. I'd bring back Hardman too. I can live with his 500 yards from the slot over whatever the **** Skyy Moore is. I had really high hopes for that kid coming out but he's proven to be dogshit.

Worthy hit 21mph on his punt return this week. His 40 might be disappointing, but he is one of the fastest players in CFB with his pads on.

I'm still not sold on us drafting him, but he has really cleaned up his drop issues this year...which gives credence to the theory that his hand injury last year was a significant contributor to his drop issues..

He has the lowest drop% in the Big XII so far this season.

Does anyone think the NFL is going to put Johnny Wilson at WR? I just can't see it happening. I think he's going to be a move TE.

That list is referring to the other Wilson, "Roman" from Michigan. Sorry for not including first names in the second half.

Where do you think Jonny Wilson stacks up as a TE in this year's class?

Really wish they would have put Theo Johnson down a couple notches. Kind of liked him being somewhat of an unknown still. Not even looking at Bowers. Like Lachey, would like to see how well he tests after recovering from the broken ankle.

Lot's of available WRs in the offseason too: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-age...ide-receiver//

ESPN is also predicting the following names will become available: Cooper, K. Allen or M. Wiliams, Aiuk, & Lockett.

Adams, Hopkins, PIT WRs, and others may also want out of their current rosters.

Might only need to grab 1 WR in the draft + 1 vet WR.

Yeah I think he's a Hyatt type. Good long speed but hs 40 not that impressive. Not sure I like him him. He just seems a bit, rigid.

You honestly think ESPN rankings somehow uncover an unknown steal that scouting departments don’t know about? Like, you and Veach are the only ones that are aware of this prospect? Am I reading this right?

You just decided to jump both feet off the assumption bus today.

I'm saying that a media outlet like ESPN with it's reach putting him in their top 5, when he has been ranging in the top 15-20 of TE prospects can raise his exposure. I don't know what Veach thinks, don't care to either. I was merely trying to point out it sure would be nice for ESPN to keep him in that top 15-20 range, rather than top 5.

What impact do you think ESPN putting a player in the top five has on NFL scouting departments?

Why don't you tell me since you seem to give a damn so much?

I don't care what a NFL scouting dept. does. You are just trying to start an argument where there doesn't need to be one.

So many of this year's WRs are 6'3 or taller!
