You know who's never hurt? BA lol.
All these FO guys saying they don't need to pay up for BA because this draft class is loaded are fibbing.

I really like multiple aspects of his game. Rude route runner. Aggressive hands. And he wants to be a hammer after the catch. pic.twitter.com/aqHzTsranr

I dont think he drops past the Bills, and not sure I'd trade up. But BT has a big frame for Brock. Deep speed. Can track the ball. Would be a fantastic number 2 WR next to BA. He can play inside and out. Gives you another big slot. Can play WR3 as a deep threat in year 1.

Drafting a WR high doesnt necessarily mean we dont want to pay BA. It'd be that we dont want to pay BA and Deebo forever. Bring in some talent, see what happens next year and then make your business decisions.

Ive started to take a liking to him. He's another one of them guys that I see going anywhere from 2nd to 4th. In thevmocks ive been doing. He's not being there in the 3rd a majority of the time.
One of our 4ths would be awesome. 3rd seems ideal. I wouldn't hate him in the 2nd.
Where you targeting him?

Yeah I'm not really a fan the more I watched and read up on him…
ranked as one of the worst perimeter WRs in this class against man coverage.
43% of his yards came off of go routes and now it comes out he was red flagged for injuries?
IMO he's Torrey smith 2.0.

You take those numbers way too seriously. You have to look at how these guys are being used and how they'll fit with us. Those numbers don't tell the whole story.
2020 is perfect example. The numbers suggested that BA wasn't good at contested catches. If you watched his whole film you noticed he didn't have that many contested opportunities. Same thing with the notion he couldn't beat press man. If you watched his non targeted routes you seem him wide ass open alot but wasn't thrown the ball.
The numbers suggest Justin Jefferson was primarily a slot WR. his Freshman year tape showed otherwise
The numbers don't always tell the whole story.
That said, as it relates to BT I've cooled on him as well. Seems to be 3 routes. Stops or sits, Go's & drags. So we don't know if he can or can't run routes because LSU hasn't asked him too.
I'm still intrigued but not as high on him as I once was. The quintessential boom or bust pick if there ever was one

I agree it's just a part of the evaluation…I'm not all analytics, but im gonna use it too. What I saw does back up those numbers. Sure you have to wonder why most of his yards came off one route and why he stunk vs man coverage.
He's interesting because of the athletic profile. I think he's a Mike Wallace or Torrey smith guy. I just like other guys later over him.

This is my favorite fit in the first round. We saw what Tank Dell did in a similar offensive system with Houston, and we know what Mike McDaniel has been able to build with so much speed at receiver in Miami. Worthy gives Kyle Shanahan a similar weapon.
