Coming back after the Packers draft, just LOVE hearing your opinion about not only Watson (Arod is going to get all of his potential out of him) but also Romeo Doubs, if his medical checks out, he's going to be a fun addition to put on the field on play action, Watson getting attention from the Safety and then have Doubs fly past on the backside. This is going to be a fun rookie WR class!

Thank you! Thank you for seeing things that no other KZbinr sees and agreeing with everything I have believed in since watching even the slightest amount of plays from these receivers.

Thank you for showing us plenty of players because after all not just five receivers exist lol.

Pickens: Pending focus and concentration can be like a Jerry Rice type of player but also medicals is knocking him down as well. Remember Rice didn't run a great 40 time either but the focus on his off season workout regimen was great and it showed on the field which he became a deep threat. Pickens can be as good as he wants to be depending on his work ethic...

Phillips is not “scrappy”. He is legit tough and physical. He put on some great blocks on his tape. Obviously I think he will predominantly a Slot in the NFL but I think there is some upside there and that physicality allows him to play on the outside.

He’s elite in both categories, anyone knocking his size hasn’t paid attention to league trends at the receiver position. Ball skills matter, it’s the most important trait at the receiver position. If you’re a QB you trust him, he’ll be a high volume target candidate and he’ll product. Recognize as productive as he was, his production was severely limited by quarterback play.

Keep in mind Brett that NDSU's offense is a run first offense with everything else being Watson making explosive plays of the success of the run. Watson's QB's only threw the ball at least 25x in a game once on the year. Compare that to the Ohio St. QB and Alabama's QB who threw 25x in a game a total of 22 games last year combined. Watson's drop rate is magnified because of the low amounts of rec attempts/targets he's had. But he also accounts for a bigger % of NDSU's offense overall all at roughly 33%.

I think Burks will go higher because of the Deebo comparisons. I hope my Packers get a true X receiver and then someone fast with crisp route running. I really like Watson, Pickens, and Pierce.

[@elijahwise3060]

We have the same tastes in players and team apparently lol. Everybody wants us to take Burks, I don't get it.

[@t4d0W]

I mean if LaFleur has a plan for Burks day 1 and he delivers, I think its a good marriage. But that draft pick for a WR has to hit because Rodgers isn't getting younger.

[@GodDogofVice]

George Pickens is still WR 1 for me. He's A.J. Green with more speed/explosiveness and a more physical frame.

[@jonmarshall3469]

Did you even watch AJ Green coming out, lol? He was otherworldly at Georgia, and was just as fast, more explosive than Pickens, while being bigger. I agree Pickens has great potential, but Green was miles better coming out.

@@jonmarshall3469 Green was definitely a better prospect.. but he wasn't faster than Pickens

[@jonmarshall3469]

@@22s22a why I said just as fast. Nearly identical 40s, and both their speeds are evident on the field. Difference is Green was 2in talller and slightly heavier.

Love that Steel we got in round 2 George Pickens is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and Calvin Austin is superrr quick will be a shifty reciever and kick returner to start probably let's go 🖤💛🖤💛

[@aqn1976]

With kick return capabilities, Jameson Williams IS who the Eagles hoped Jaen Raegor WAS when they inexpicably drafted him above Justin Jefferson :-///

[@BigmomaJLG]

Only player I think you’ll miss on is Ross from Clemson. Perfect fit as a big slot in Pittsburgh. And I personally think his 2019 tape (only healthy college season) was plenty of tape for them to take a tab. And you know what that means

[@BigmomaJLG]

Also you covered so many receivers - I’m doubtful you looked into Ross 2019 tape. Cause that dude took it by storm

[@mical7582]

@@BigmomaJLG Exactly. Ross and Tee Higgins complimented Trevor Lawrence at Clemson and they both balled out

[@ericclaeyborn3600]

I'd put Watson at #1, and the G. Wilson at #2. Alec Pierce should be ahead of some of the 1st RD prospects. I can picture him somewhat like a Jordy Nelson, but with more athleticism.
