    Is he a real option at 18? I think he could be the guy. He is flying up boards and is being compared to DEZ BRYANT except without the attitude problem. I really like him from seeing his highlights and tape. He's 6-3, 215 lbs and ran a 4.4 at his pro day. Pretty impressive.

    Why did he not get noticed early in the Draft process?

    Wondering what the reaction would be if he was our 1st round pick.

    He's not Dez Bryant. Doesnt play with that physicality, but he's a very good player. I dont think he's worthy of the 18th pick, but in the 2nd I would really like him.

    I think Dez Bryants teammate, Terrance Williams is a better comparison (although I think Latimer has a slightly higher ceiling).

    Do you think he will be there in the 2nd? I've heard end of the 1st but I don't know who needs a receiver before us in the 2nd round.

    It's the existence of the numerous guys like Matthews and Lattimer who make me feel like any WR at 18 isn't a good value. Granted you're less likely to get your #1 choice, but if there isn't a massive difference between your #1 choice and #5 choice, get the #5 guy later.

    Im not sure. IMO he's grouped in with guys like Davante Adams, Matthews, Robinson and Benjamin (who I want no part of). I think his value is about the early to mid 2nd, so if he's there then you grab him.

    I don't think I would be happy picking him at 18 but maybe in the 2nd round. I'm a little put off by how he was kind of off the radar and suddenly is shooting up the order.

    Haven't seen any of his cut ups so don't know too much about him, 4.4 is definitely fast and he has ideal size at 6'3, where is he projected to go?

    This is what happens when scouts have too much time on their hands...guys like Tom Savage and Cody Latimer get first round consideration when they are day 3 guys.

    I'd gladly take him round 2. I think people are starting to get a little receiver crazy. There's no way everyone can go first round. Watkins, Evans, ODB, Cooks are locks - guys like Matthews, Lee, Benjamin, ect could possibly slip because guys like Landry will be there round 3. Didn't last night Mel/Todd have Bruce Ellington first round lol

    Watched his tape vs Michigan St and Missouri two top defenses. He had a few grabs in the Mich St game including a TD on Dennard, in the Missouri game he went off also had a TD.

    He's a perrfect fit for a WCO, rarely drops balls. I wouldn't take him at 18 but if he's there at 49 I'd be all over it.

    That's the beauty of a 'receiver deep draft'. You can use your 1st pick elsewhere and STILL get a really good WRs later on.

    This draft has 3 good OL, 2 good safties, and 3 really good DBs. If you want one of those, better grab him early. But WR? There's like 15 really good ones. Plenty left in the 2nd-3rd rounds.

    Lattimer is flying up the charts and might not be there in the 2nd. I like how he catches away from the body. Maybe we go TE with Amaro at 18 and maybe Moncrief or Matthews in the 2nd. The second tier WR are just as good.

    Agree with Ozy and FG214 and as much as I like Lee as a prospect I think our first pick will surely be BPA. I'm bracing myself for an OT, S, or DB in the first and a WR in the 2nd.

    I would be pissed off if we took him at 18... with our 2nd it would be fine i guess..

    He is no Dez btw... More an Eric Decker IMO

    Idzik has said "we will not abandon our value grades" to fill a need.

    He'd be a good option in the 2nd if he's still on the board.

    Yes my jaw dropped. It's not surprising though on average they get what 2/32 picks correct lol they know nothing more than we know.

    I think they intact know less than we know. Was it a Kiper pick? I think McShay is one of the slightly better draft guys but I think Kiper is a tard.
