Blake Freeland, OT, BYU

We have zero shot at him but Treylon Burks is one of my favorite players to watch. He's my WR number 1

Oh yeah. He's my WR1 also, really since March of 2021 when George Pickens tore his ACL

Is that 40 time slow enough to drop him to us?

where will pickens go? his 40yd dash was strong.
Anyone interested in Danny Gray in the later rounds?
6'0
186 lbs

4.33 forty

Overview
Two-year starter on the FBS level with athleticism and play speed to project a continuing ascent at the next level. Gray stepped into a top playmaking role for SMU in 2021 and showed an ability to work all three levels of the field. His long, gliding strides separate from coverage on attack-oriented routes but he has the bend and agility to become a quality target working underneath. He needs to get a little stronger and limit the focus drops, but Gray has an inside/outside skill set with intriguing upside as a future WR3 with more work.

Strengths
Explosive and loose-limbed with three-level ability.Sinks into soft spots of zone, making himself presentable.Bends and swipes for quick slip of press.Routes filled with athletic movements.Long, fluid strider in space.Maintains speed through turns and route stems.Relentless hand fighting as needed inside the route.Gains late separation to haul in contested deep throws.Plus catch-and-run talent.Makes effort to find positioning as blocker.Kick and punt return ability.

Weaknesses
Below-average wingspan for NFL wideout.Needs additional play strength to battle bully corners.Disoriented finding football against physical coverage.Drifts through stems, allowing coverage to drive and contest.Focus drops pop up on in-breaking routes.Dropped would-be touchdowns passes in 2020 and 2021.Inconsistent vertical push on intermediate patterns.

Agreed.

So....

-Precursor to a player trade?

-Planning on another move up the board for a specific target? QB maybe?

-Targeting some specific players they believe can be had in the teens?

Disagree. Outside of TB, division is garbage. Have a top 10 defense, 2 1st rounders (now), and a functional quarterback to go with 14+ games of Kamara/Thomas is worth at least 8 wins. Dennis Allen is probably a step back from Payton, but they still have most of the coaching staff in place.
