I like him. he is the guy you go after if you miss out on the top ones. Kadarius Toney would fit that description too. There are so many WRs in this draft I am almost tempted to pass at number 7 but I dont want to because I want 2 WRs out of this draft.

I will need @broncosmitty to give his stamp of approval before agreeing to this guy.
Id be cool with him late.

My Broncos had a nice offense last year. Damn near 200 yards a game and he was a starter his last three years.

Prolly blocked like two or three NFL caliber dudes a season though.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to draft two WR if they somehow acquire an extra (s) day three pick.

Maybe someone like Nico Collins (there's others to mention) but the FO appears to be leaning towards speed as their type of WR - at least in Free Agency.

Two local WR prospects fit Detroit Lions’ new mold - Pride Of Detroit

No longer are the Lions pursuing big frame guys just to fight for the ball like a Kenny Golladay or a Quintez Cephus, they want burners. Ratley, Williams, and Perriman are ultra-high RAS players, and Raymond is a kick returner with tons of speed. The team still needs two or three receivers, so drafting one is a strong possibility. Unsurprisingly, they are looking at really fast receivers.

Today at Michigan’s Pro Day, another tall and fast receiver got a good look by the Lions. 6-foot-4 Nico Collins, who did not play in the 2020 college football season, clocked in at a Tyrell Williams-level speed. While the good Pro Day showing should raise his stock some, Collins was only regarded as a good, but not top-end prospect before now. Given the blend of incredible size and speed now on the books, Collins could be a nice hometown option for Detroit to select on the second day of the draft.

I think we all need to reevaluate the way the term “blockbuster trade” is used. Swapping a few draft picks certainly doesn’t fit the bill.

Seems like this increases the odds of Chase/Waddle being there when we pick :nod:

Jags Lawrence
Jets Wilson probably
49ers QB3 my money is on Jones
Falcons QB4 maybe? I'd say they're the biggest wildcard at the moment, but they've got pretty good receivers
Bengals OT is their biggest need, but TE or WR are a definite possibilities
Dolphins WR seems like a lock

I thought we had 7 picks but we only have 6 so I will have to forgo the 2nd WR.

So far here is where I am at:

7 WR Waddle AL
41 S Moehrig TCU
72 DT Tufele USC
101 TE Long BC
112 LB Werner OH St
153 OT Little Stan

yes, indeed it does.

I'm leaning more towards Waddle over Chase.

Waddle is more explosive in burst and acceleration whereas Chase is the more physical type for contested receptions. idk

I would hope they'd get two WR this year whether actual draft or one in draft and one in UDFA.

I'm not sold on the Jets moving off of Darnold and drafting another QB. That O-Line is atrocious minus Becton who's coming off his rookie season. I sure could see them drafting Wilson.

Jones sure does fit the Shanahan mold/type

Falcons most definitely the biggest wildcard. They're pretty set at LT, RG and McGary at RT might be a question mark. WR Gage and Ridley both are young and they're too deep in money owed to Julio as well as M. Ryan also for the next couple years.
