Like probably most of you, I've been watching more tape on players, and specifically on some of the later round quarterbacks just to see what potential is out there.

So while I was watching some game tape of QB David Mills from Stanford... this guy just kept popping off the screen, so much that I finally looked him up and started to just watch him, and it was really hard NOT to like the kid.

6'3 and 222 lbs, posting a 4.37 and 4.42 40-speed (he looks faster on tape), and makes acrobatic catches in ways that reminded me of Smitty. Just some crazy ball awareness and control. You listen to his interviews and he's got a good head on his shoulders too.

ProFootballNetwork  rates him as an early Day 3 https://www.profootballnetwork.com/simi-fehoko-nfl-draft-player-profile-stanford-wide-receiver/

PFF algorithm compares him to Hank Baskett, but I think he could be so much more. https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2021-nfl-draft-comps-stanford-cardinal-wr-simi-fehoko

I know some have brought up maybe taking a receiver with the 1st pick. I'm not in that camp, but I would be pretty happy if we could get him in the 3rd round cutoff like we did with Chinn just to make sure.

I'm not sure why the projections on him are Day 3, so I may be missing something. But see for yourself! What do you think?

Yep, I've mocked him a few times now.  He's actually in my latest mock.  I know the Panthers are looking for a tall red zone target since they have Zoomed with Strachen (sp), the small school WR product that's 6'5".  Fehoko would be more polished coming in being from a Power 5 School.

I'd add UNC's Dazz Newsome and WFU's Sage Surratt to the list.

Newsome in particular is intriguing as a Samuel replacement. He doesn't have Samuel's game breaking speed, but he has better hands and is a much better route runner coming out of college than Samuel was. He has similar versatility. He's be a great 3rd day pick.

Surratt is a more typical pure receiver, but he's a good one. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he ends up being picked on day two.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
