Capable is a big step up from what we've had other than Thielen and Diggs.

We no longer have Diggs, so he is replacing Diggs. I hope he reaches his potential but I am really afraid of him against press coverage. Im hopeful he turns into a stud but he reminds me of Steve Smith from the Giants. Good at everything but elite at nothing.

Give me SMU's Proche on Saturday or local boy Tyler Johnson (or both), just in case Jefferson doesn't translate to the NFL.

Hey we drafted a horned frog. Maybe another today.

I'm glad we got a horned frog. Who do you think we might nab today? Blacklock or Niang? I was surprised that the Eagles grabbed Reagor at 21, but not really. That dude is super talented. It was interesting that Lamb slid and then Reagor went way sooner than most thought.

I don't see Lamb's ceiling as that high. He'll be a great WR2. I'm not sure where he ranks if he has to be a WR1. He's in a good place with Dallas now, playing beside Amari Cooper.

If I were a Fantasy FB playing guy, I'd grab Lamb. He's going to be great for the Cowboys, unfortunately.

In addition to Proche and Johnson, I'd really like my Longhorn Devin Duvernay. He's built strangely for a WR--looks more like a RB, but he's super fast despite looking like a bowling ball, and offers YAC possibility. His highlights also show a guy that can take the top off a D.

Thielen and Jefferson can both threaten vertically, but I'm with you in seeing value in a guy who can truly take the top off a defense. I didn't look into Duvernay. What kind of speed does he have, and is he able to track the ball well?

Either is possible.

Ran the 40 in 4.39 at the combine. Watch his highlights: he tracks the ball well.

Surprising to see how many of his highlights are on deep shots. You expect a guy with that build be a bit more of a RAC specialist. I love the idea of getting a WR with that bowling ball build to add to the mix, and the speed and versatility to allow him to work all over the field is appealing :thumbsup:

In games, he has a lot more RAC contributions. They didn't seem to make the cut on this highlight reel :lol: .
