If Tyler Scott is your guy you trade down, absolutely no reason to take him at 31. I like him as a prospect, for a smaller(ish) guy, his athleticism is off the charts and he is freaky strong (600 lbs squat, 16 reps of bench at 225).

I just have a hard time putting Scott ahead of a guy like Josh Downs who was more productive in back to back seasons playing against tougher competition. I think Downs will test similarly to Scott speed wise as well, Downs has some great contested catches on tape also.

I don't hate Scott but I would loathe that pick at 31.

I respect your opinion quite a bit. That said, I don't think Downs will test anywhere near what Scott does. Scott was a junior olympian and will most likely run in the mid-4.2s. His acceleration and top-end are insane. There's a better-than-not chance he tests faster than Tyreek. Downs looks really similar to a guy we already have on the roster, to be honest. I think Flowers is quicker. Scott is absolutely quicker. Downs was a feature target they manufactured getting the ball. Scott put up 100 less yards on 40 less receptions. I just think when Reid sees the tape of this kid, that big brain of his is already going to be scheming what he can do with this kid.

I'm with you. If kccrow is correct on the speed of Scott it'll be interesting, I'm not sure I saw Tyreek speed but stand to be corrected. I just thought Downs looks way shiftier. He's probably a top slot only but is Scott any more? Downs absolutely puts people in blenders.
