Jaelen Strong.

This guy is gonna be a beast. He's similar to Benjamin but he's faster and possesses more consistent hands.

 

I agree.  I LOVE the guy.  I just don't think we're interested.  I haven't seen that we've visited with him in any way during the pre-draft process.

Marcus Mariota...

 

Dude is ridiculously hyped up by the media. He had an average Pro Day that showed he needs more work than what was originally thought. That deep accuracy is poo!

 

Yeah, IMO his NFL career may hinge on whether or not Chip can swing a deal to land him.  Chip knows exactly what he's getting and knows Mariota can run his system the way he wants it ran.  I'm not sure Mariota would translate to the NFL for any other team.

Twitter rumor this morning that Gregory has some mental issues or something scaring teams away. Like, he's not even on a few teams boards AT ALL. I think he could slide a huge amount. Ray and Collins as well, but those three are known sliders at this point.

 

I could see Melvin Gordon sliding into the middle of the 2nd, unless Dallas trades up for him at the end of the 1st or something. Landon Collins as well.

      I've just seen enough highly touted prospects who pretty much everyone was high on end up busting to assume anything.

      Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.

      And you would've probably said the same thing about a lot of highly drafted WRs who busted.
