If posters on here think WR is a must at #66 please post who you would want and why. Be realistic on if they will be there at #66.
Totally onboard for a playmaker at #66. Hoping a TW's trade (multiple picks) results in a round 2 pick for OT.
Realistic shots at WR for #66 below but a few may not drop that far. Would love to land Claypool from ND. Like his size, catch radius, contested catch ability & toughness. Nice compliment to TMAC.
Michael Pittman Jr., USC (SR, 6'4", 223 pounds)
Jalen Reagor, TCU (JR, 5'11", 206 pounds)
K.J. Hamler, Penn State (rSO, 5'9", 178 pounds)
Chase Claypool, Notre Dame (SR, 6'4", 238 pounds)
Donovan Peoples-Jones, Michigan (JR, 6'2", 212 pounds)
Tyler Johnson, Minnesota (SR, 6'1", 206 pounds)
Bryan Edwards, South Carolina (SR, 6'3", 212 pounds)
Antonio Gandy-Golden, Liberty (SR, 6'4", 223 pounds)
John Hightower, Boise State (SR, 6'2", 189 pounds)
Isaiah Hodgins, Oregon State (JR, 6'4", 210 pounds)
Collin Johnson, Texas (SR, 6'6", 222 pounds)
Gabriel Davis, UCF (JR, 6'2", 216 pounds)
Doesn’t mean he won’t but I tend to peoples Jones or Pittman if the speedster hamler is goneIn a poll of 17 NFL executives by The Athletic's Bob McGinn, scouts were torn on whether Notre Dame's Chase Claypool will be a wide receiver or tight end at the next level.
As McGinn notes, some teams are vehement that Claypool can succeed at wideout in the NFL after starting 33 games at the position in college, but other clubs are viewing the 6'4/238 Claypool as a tight end. Landing spot will be massive for Claypool when it comes to his future success. Many in the draftnik community believe Claypool can absolutely succeed as a wideout after he blazed a 4.42 forty at the Combine. He joined Calvin Johnson as the only player bigger than 6'4/235 to run a sub-4.45 forty in Combine history. Claypool is Rotoworld's Hayden Winks' No. 8 wideout and a fringe first-round talent.

I doubt first round but wow. I thought he would be there in the 3rd.

Chase Claypool- because I think he will be a TE.
Gabriel Davis
Denzel Mims
Leviska Shenault
Michael Pittman
As far as what to look for - look for whoever would blend best with McLaurin and Haskins, because those 2 should be the foundation of our offensive skill positions for the next 10 years.
Still, I think we need an OT and a TE more than a WR - even though we do need a WR. But it might make more sense to add a veteran WR than draft one - since our WR's are so inexperienced.
I do it in tiers, for the most part. If players are in the same tier, take the one who fits your needs best, but if a player is in a higher tier - pick him even if he doesn't fill the need you're looking for.I agree but it also depends who is on the board at the time. For example what if Hamler slips and the Auburn OT is the best OT on the board. Who do you take? I take Hamler.
Ah yes the combo pack and the correct way to do itI do it in tiers, for the most part. If players are in the same tier, take the one who fits your needs best, but if a player is in a higher tier - pick him even if he doesn't fill the need you're looking for.
Hamler is in the 4.3 range but small, less than 5'9" and less than 180 lbs. He claims a 4.27 at PSU in 2019.
lol. Mims at #66? The guy is a first rounder early 2nd. I gotta research Davis.
If he is gone in the early second, he won’t be coming here probably then.
that being said, most places have him going mid to late second. This means he may be available at 66 with a small slide.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Baylor WR Denzel Mims played through a broken hand in 2019.
It didn't hold him back much because he finished with 1,020 yards and 12 touchdowns, but it does go to show you his toughness and lessens minor concerns about his drops. As it sits now, Mims is on the Round 1/2 borderline as a second tier receiver prospect with high upside. Expect teams like the Vikings, Saints, and Packers to have interest in the later part of the first round.

So where is Mims actually ranked in this crop of WRs?

So just how many WRs do you expect to go in the first round?
1st round=Jeudy, Lamb, Ruggs, Jefferson, and Mims
2nd round = Aiyuk ,Higgins, Regaor, Pittman, Shenault, Hamler,
3rd= Claypool, Jefferson, Edwards, Peoples-Jones, tyler Johnson
Im hoping Hamler lasts until the 3rd. Claypool might go right before we pick. I like Edwards, should be there in the 3rd.
So the eighth to thirteenth ranked WR will go before 3 to 8 people ranked ahead of him, or are you suggesting your personal rankings of WRs are perfect?
I only ask because you made it seem crazy that I have Mims as a POSSIBILITY of lasting until our pick while providing 5 or 6 actual sources of WR rankings.
