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

(He wasn't projected as one of the top 3 WRs by the talking heads so only the people who REALLY study this stuff like you and @Skinsinparadise really know who he is, so clearly it's a crap pick.)

Does Willis fall out of the first round?  

Somebody's gotta trade up to 31 or 32 just for that 5th year option. I can't see him falling out of the 1st for that reason alone.

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.

Fair point,  he’s been meh for me so far so we’ll see if that changes with wentz at the helm

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 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. 

Great post, SIP.  Agree with all your saying.  He's supposed to be supersmart and when I watched film he goes down and takes angles that prevent him from getting injured, at least it seemed that way when I watched videos on him.

Now is the time of the draft where guys we penciled in as 2nd rounders start flying off the board.

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.

Can you definitely say that all the players chosen before Dotson will be better players? For all we know the 2 picks we got from the Saints could be better players than half the players chosen in the 1st round. 

[Dan T.]

After watching four :20 second YouTube clips I’m declaring Dotson a sold pick. 
 

Carry on.

I apologized to the board and didn't read a tweet correctly.  I am sorry for the mishap, TK.

You can always tell who only follows the TV shows and who watches these prospects based on the comments.

 

People don’t understand how similar Dotson/Olave are.

 

The biggest weakness Dotson have that Olave excels at is getting off the press. But while he works on his hands for that, we can utilize short motions and off the line alignments. And watching film Dotson’s feet look alright from what I see. Needs to use his hands better. 
 

Otherwise Dotson and Olave have the same strength: route running and finding holes in zones.

 

Olave doesn’t break tackles. Literally doesn’t break them. He has like 2 in his entire college career. 
 

Dotson is MUCH better at that. He is a scrappy player who runs through arm tackles.

 

Dotson 4.43. Olave 4.39.

 

Thats it. Very similar prospects.

 

I think Dotson’s physicality makes him the better player.

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.

 

I'm definitely on the same page as you.  I preferred Devin Lloyd and I am terrified that he'll end up on the Cowboys, but I'm good with Dotson.

 

I wanted Metchie at 47.  But if we're locked in to picking a WR in the first, Dotson was fine.  I was a Burks fan too, but Dotson makes sense for us.  IMO we just got the second coming of Emmanuel Sanders and he is going to be legit here.

Holy **** Quay Walker as LB1???  I never in a million years saw that coming.

[mhd24]

OMG, GB takes Walker over Lloyd.  There has to be something wrong with Lloyd.

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

How?  "If you dont accept our deal you get paid $25 million per year and have to play for a better organization, hah!

Yeah, that take makes no sense.  At all.  Zero.  Negative 10.

Meanwhile the Eagles basically parlayed Carson Wentz into AJ Brown. Oh and they still have two #1 picks next year. 

 

Wish we had a FO that could play the game like that. Our guys don't have a clue. They play 3d chess in Philly. Our guys play tic tac toe and lose.

Philly is in QB hell just like 25 other teams in this league. What have they won since losing Wentz?

I live near Pittsburgh. It's the only reason I care.

 

Ok, but if you are a Washington fan, I guess I just don't get why you are mad they got the QB they wanted without having to trade up.  Why hate the Steelers?  They aren't rivals, not even in the same conference.  

[mhd24]

Dallas probably takes Jermaine Johnson if he's there at 24.  Rumors were that was character issues.

🤮🤮🤮 a receiver we don’t need and he’s small?? Worst pick since Jamin

7 of the top 10 in receiving yards are 6'1 or shorter. Why is everyone a size queen all of a sudden. 

[jlevy08]

I am a B10 Hawkeye fan, seen Olave and Dotson first hand and a lot of their games.  Can’t say if WR was the right position

for them to pick at 16, but I can tell you with confidence Dotson > Olave.

[757SeanTaylor21]

Can we trade up for Dean at some point please and thank you.
