Dotson could win OROY just based on having the most TDs…….right? that would be great if he won the award 

Just came in to ask that. If Dot pulls ten tudahs of whatever they're called now, does he win it?

Final update.  I was going to say that this would end here since only some of the rookies would get playoff stats, but as it turns out, none of them are on teams that made the playoffs.

 

Jahan Dotson - 35 catches for 523 yards, 7 TD's.  All in all, I'm really impressed with Dotson.  Had he remained healthy, his stat line projects to about 50 catches for 750 yards, and 10 TD's.  We'd have been ecstatic about that and he would have been in the offensive rookie of the year conversation.

 

He was well worth the pick, especially when we traded down and still got him.  I went to the 2022 NFL draft and attempted to follow what all happened in the aftermath of the trade down, and this was the best I could do because there was a ton of moving around.  Essentially, we were missing a 3rd rounder this year because of the Wentz trade.  A 3rd rounder was one of the picks we got from NO to move down, which turned into Brian Robinson.  I'll take the combo of Dotson and Robinson over any other rookie WR on the board, no questions.  The other pick was harder to follow due to multiple trades back and other swaps, though Sam Howell and Cole Turner eventually resulted.  I'm aware we could have had Howell at many points so I won't count that.  Essentially, we traded down from 11 to 16, got Dotson instead of Olave, and got Brian Robinson for our trouble.  I'll do that trade every day of the week and I look forward to the two of them for the next several seasons.

 

*Other receivers people wanted:

 

Chris Olave - 72 catches for 1,042 yards, 4 TD.  Definitely had a better stat line than Dotson even though he didn't find the end zone as much.  Stayed relatively healthy.  Had QB's who have arm talent but are pretty inconsistent.

 

Garrett Wilson - 83 catches for 1,103 yards, 4 TD's.  Wilson would be my pick for offensive rookie of the year.  Besides stats, I tend to look at the help someone had.  Though they spent time hurt, Olave does have other very good receivers on his team and New Orleans has a good running back.  The New York Jets are a crap sandwich.  They ended the year with someone named Zonovan at RB, Zach Wilson appears to be a disaster, Mike Brown sounds like a create-a-player, and the other WRs are castoffs.  For Wilson to be able to put up the stat line that he did surrounded by the garbage he had helping him is a minor miracle.  There are a couple RBs (Etienne and Kenneth Walker) who put up good stats but I'm not sure if Etienne counts or not.  Regardless, Walker has help at the other skill positions in Seattle.  Wilson was a diamond among ****.  Also gets extra credit for staying healthy and playing all 17 games.

 

Drake London - 72 catches for 866 yards, 4 TD.  London came on at the end of the year, he recorded about 50% of his season receiving yards in the last five weeks of the season.  Also played all 17 games.  Shows promise but didn't have the stat line of the two guys above him.  Also, notice the 4 TD's for all of them.  I appreciate Dotson's nose for the end zone even more now.

 

Treylon Burks - 33 catches for 444 yards, 1 TD.  Played 11 games, minimal stat lines, jury is still out here.

 

Jameson Williams - 1 Catch for 41 yards, 1 TD.  Man is this a weird stat line.  In addition to Williams' 1 catch (on 9 targets) for 41 yards and a TD, he also has a single rushing attempt for 40 yards and a TD.  The two times he actually had possession of the ball, he scored from 40+.  So I guess that's something positive?  Otherwise, it was mostly a lost season due to injuries and he's something like 4/5 on the Lions depth chart.

I loved Olave going into the draft and turned out to be right about him, BUT I'll take the trade everytime. I don't think there is that much drop off between Olave and Dotson if any at all, plus we got Robinson out of it who looks like at the very least a quality starting RB. Value wise we came out ahead.

 

I admit I hated the trade at the time but Dotson turned out to be better than I thought and getting Robinson out of it as well has made up the value.

**** olave’s yards, if it were up to me, I’d name Dotson the OROY because of the 7 TDs

We got Howell too, who has a chance to be a winning lottery ticket.

 

We could end up majorly regretting the trade down, but right now the jury is out and I still think I'd do it.  But we're going to need for either Dotson to end up being really good or for Howell to pan out, because Olave looks like a future star.

Totally agree. Hopefully my 25/1 pre-season bet is still in play 🤔 He had garbage throwing to him, missed some games and still scored 7 TDs.

I remember when the trade happened and then virtually a cascade of WRs came off the board in the next 5 or 6 picks. I was so mad 😂. Fortunately we ended up with Dotson who is an outstanding player and value for where he was picked.  Had he not missed a bunch of games with the pulled hammy, I think we’re talking about a potential ROY on offense.
