That's a lot of versatility and brings a real size and toughness to the edge that would compliment Hill and Hardman really well.

It just seemed like every time I watched a Colorado game, they talked up Shenault and then he didn't do shit because he was battling something.

Well one upside is he is tough as shit and plays through injury. I think the biggest thing he battled was having a shitty QB.

Yeah it isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things but also what were you thinking, you dumbass

Tons of Jews have hit him up on twitter to say it’s no problem at all, inviting him to Passover dinner etc

“Offense is offense,” Gettleman says regarding potential scheme changes. “Somebody snaps it, somebody catches it. It’s all just offense.”

Everyday I am grateful that Dave Gettleman is not our GM.

If you take a center in the 1st round dude better be an all pro several times.

We will draft OT next year, not this one. And our priority needs to be keeping Mahomes healthy.

We need to get a run game going more consistently and Johnathan Taylor I feel like fits. I would love Dobbins, but in order for that to work we need some hogs inside.

Yea the problem though is I'd rather look for good value interior lineman in rounds 3+ than use my playmaking rounds on them when we need WR CB and LBs.

Pairing a physical guy like Shenault with Hill and Hardman wouldn't be fair to the rest of the NFL. Doubt he's there though, unless being nicked up half the time the last 2 years knocks him down to us.

There's a good chance he will be because he isn't a blazing speed guy, the NFL is in love with speed now so all the blazers are going to move up, also super deep WR year may push him down as on most lists he's like 5 or 6.

Someone tell me about Collin Johnson, WR from TX. Everytime a Longhorn game was on, I saw the dude making freaky plays.

[duncan_idaho]

And while we're talking about big WRs, can I throw some love out for Denzel Mims out of Baylor?

He's everything you get with Jefferson (size, catch radius, dangerous in jump ball/high point situations), but he's a little faster and more explosive on intermediate routes and short routes. For a big dude, he creates separation very well on shorter routes (Critical for Reid's offense), probably due to his background in track.

He's likely a second-rounder, might be available at KC's pick. I think it's a best of all worlds situation... you get the big receiver, but it's still a guy you can line up anywhere and have success (though with Hill, Hardman and Kelce around, slot snaps for this WR would presumably be low, anyway).

Also OU and the Big 12 in general has had a ton of failures at the WR position, I kind of wonder if he is going to slide a bit because of some of that.

Love to see him drop. He is my pick for rookie impact playmaker.

No, He isn’t fast, but he is biggish at 6’2”. He does need to add some bulk tho.

And his strengths are YAC, good hands and was complimented with great routes.

He has been a big time producer at OU while mostly sharing catches with Hollywood Brown and catching from 3 different QBs...
2017: 46/807 yds 7 TD 17.5 YPC
2018: 65/1158 yds 11 TD 17.8 YPC
2019: 62/1327 yds 14 TD 21.4 YPC

Good Lord...if we could get Shenault (and he stays healthy) and if Hardman continues to improve, who in the hell would defenses cover? Pick your poison. Shenault is incredible in terms of YAC. Tough as hell to bring down. And he's not a total blazer, but it's not like he's not fast. I would pounce if I were Veach and he was available.

On most lists he's behind...
Jeudy
Lamb
Ruggs
Higgins

Then depending on the list he's right with Jefferson, Aiyuk, Hamlin and Reagor depending upon the list.

So it's very possible he drops, he's much different than what most teams seem to be looking for though he's 6'2 220 in a time where everyone seems to want the pure blazer.

Big boy at 6'6". Don't follow college ball but as you know, in Austin sports talk is about UT 98% of the time so I certainly heard a lot about him. They seemed to struggle more when he was not available and most teams doubled him quite a bit.

The one that I think is interesting from UT and probably available at a lower round though is Devin Duvernay. Smaller guy at 5'11" but seems like a good possession type receiver. Probably mostly a slot guy at the next level.
