Dotson absolutely isn't a bust, and the only reason he's "off to a slow start" is QB play on top of already being after McLaurin in the pecking order.

Ruggs was starting to come along before he ruined his career.

Toney obviously isn't a talent issue.

Williams got off to a slow start coming back from an ACL injury, but he flashed at times this year.

I wouldn't make too much of that.

Glad were on the same page here. Franklin in this offense would be amazing

If the Commanders want to give up on Dotson we'll take him...

I'm generally a fan of analytics, I think some individuals get too caught up in a specific stat or two and will dismiss talent if it doesn't fit their statistical agenda. That 2.5 yards per route run doesn't really seem to jive with me. With all due respect to that random twitter handle, he states the 3 most predictive variables in college WR success in the NFL is:

-Draft capital (duh)
-Breakout season
-Yards per route run

Which leads us to these WR rankings:

2024 WR Class Ranking

1. MHJ
2. Nabers
3. Franklin

You cannot tell me in any world that Odunze is the #5 receiver in this class. It's insanity and a perfect example of looking too hard at spreadsheets and not enough of tape.

Also from senior bowl practice day 1, McConkey has gone way up my WR rankings. His ability to beat man to man coverage from inside or outside leverage was really impressive today.

Since we don’t have a CB thread I’ll put it in this one. I knew Quinyon Mitchell was really good…but he’s even better than I thought. Hope he doesn’t end up in the AFCW.

Ricky Pearsall. 3rd or 4th round.
[Reply]

I like Pearsall and am intrigued to see what he runs.

Legette having a great day after a rough day yesterday:

Legette looked like he was really struggling with press coverage yesterday. He looks to be having a hard time getting separation today, too, and doesn’t look particularly fluid. One thing he is doing really well, though, is winning the battle against a sticky corner.
[Reply]

Was Justin Jefferson the 5th best WR in the 2020 draft? Sometimes draft board conventional wisdom is just wrong.
[Reply]

Someone gave Legette a pep-talk maybe, looking good!

Still think he's more AJ Brown than DK Metcalk when I watch him on those cut backs, but I'm no scout.
[Reply]

I don't think he's either one of those guys....I'm not a fan of him so many question marks.
[Reply]

Those guys had question marks too, hence whey they went in the 2nd round, where Legette willl likely go.
[Reply]

Well ok then, I'm not a fan when I see people having him mocked at 28, which I've seen.
