I like Dotson.  He was a reach at 16 but he's good.  He lit Ohio State on fire in 2020 and basically ended Shaun Wade's first round pick candidacy.  Those cut ups are some of the most impressive you will see from any of this year's WR prospects.

Hey everyone…

 

Want to point out… @Going Commando @Skinsinparadiseand I are all on the same page here. That doesn’t happen for our draft picks. 
 

So either this is the worst pick of all time or Dotson is pretty good.

You know when the last time this fanbase was flipping out about a pick and @Skinsinparadiseand I were trying to talk everyone off the ledge?

 

Antonio Gibson. He has worked out pretty damn well no matter how I feel about him as a bellcow. 
 

Dotson is a good player. We’re going to like him a lot here. 
 

I understand frustration given Hamilton and Lloyd and Williams (wonder about the medical on him). 
 

But let’s tone down the dramatics a little folks.

 

Today IS the time for the dramatics.  People have seen selections they have been pulling for, defending, explaining why the team should select just slip through their fingers.  Add some alcohol and it is howl at the moon time.

 

Tomorrow is soon enough for back to reality time.

No. We need quality players… I’d take a stud over a few lottery tickets all day. This FO screwed the pooch and forced a WR who had no right going this early.

 

I really want to be wrong, but I won’t be.

We will see my guess is you are wrong 

[sebestian]

Just finished watching highlights of Dotson.  He's better then Olave for my money.

[Dan T.]

Now THAT is a cool moment. Good for Pickett.

Dotson is a fine player. I have no issue with him overall. He's actually my 2nd favorite WR in this draft class.

 

But at 16? Gross gross gross.

 

so then it sounds like your problem is from picks 8- 16 you just felt were fundamentally wrong

Yep, best hands in the draft and as stated by Daniel Jeremiah he reminds him of DeSean Jackson.  A win for the Commanders.

Can't shake the feeling that a big motivator for picking Dotson was to use as leverage against Terry in contract negotiations this summer.

 

Doubt it, wouldn't see why Terry would care, if he wanted to leave just refuse to sign any offer ala Scherff and hit FA.   Supposedly Terry wants to stay, I think they work things out.

 

I think it was a little early for Dotson but I get it.  He's a good player.  You may recall just a few weeks or so ago I said are you and I the only Dotson guys on this thread?  I was rewatching him and got resold on him (after being a big fan during the college season and then losing interest in the off season for a spell) but then a bunch of others including @KDawg pushed him too.

 

If they reshow the Hey Rookie episiodes on ESPN its a must watch IMO now, it showcases Dotson in a good way.   He hits me as a good dude from a nice family.

 

Keim kept saying they like Dotson for weeks.  I think he was the last of the Mohicans I am guessing on the board of their top tier fav WRs.

Dotson is a good player. If he does turn into Santana Moss 2.0 it works out. But as of now when talking about value its a bad pick.

Olave would’ve been dynamic 

We got a touch slower, tougher Olave. What’s the issue?

I’d be a bit more excited if we didn’t have Scot turner running the offense 😂

You have no idea what Scott Turner can do, because he's had Haskins (RIP), a one legged Alex Smith and a noodle armed Taylor Heinicke trying to run a pro-style offense.  

 

He's done about as well as anybody this side of Bill Walsh with that cast of misfits at QB.  They were actually somewhat middle of the road offensively last year with a backup QB, and missing Samuel and Thomas all year, and down to their 4th center.

I agree completely

I think Dotson is more dynamic than Olave arguably, Olave gives you very little closer to the LOS whereas Dotson can create for himself after the catch in a big way

They all play the same too I feel like. For the most part atleast. They can all fly tho. Should be interesting if they can stay healthy. 

 

Also kinda feels like Samuel insurance.  He only got a 3 year deal and they burned through 1 already.  Probably don't trust that groin either until they see it hold up.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Does Willis fall out of the first round?

Sometimes admitting you made a mistake is a positive sign

How many mistakes are they allowed lol. Curtis Samuel, Dyami Brown, AGG, are all busts so far with this team. I dont get the feeling they know how to scout WRs.

And here I thought actual scouts were doing it right watching film year round when all they have to do is read a couple tweets and watch a couple YouTube highlights. Imagine the time they could all save.

Simple: Olave was picked by another team, so we should already anoint him to the HOF, duh. And since we passed on a sure-fire HOF game, our pick is the worst pick in the history of picks ever, of all time.

hahah that poor baby in that woman's arm!!! that is the meme moment of the night!

I would feel better if we had rolled the dice on Sam Howell. 

 

Pretty good chance he's still there in the 2nd or 3rd. 

[Redskins 2021]

Datson as good as Olave. You can make complaints that we did not get London or Hamilton but I am not going to say Olave is so much better then Datson.
