My one and only (huge) reservation is how has such an amazing athletic specimen produced at such a completely pedestrian level? He has 41 catches for 712 yards and 2 TDs in his entire three year college career. 

Yeah, you definitely see flashes of elite ability. But damn... I mean that's some truly uninspiring production. Two TDs for a guy who should be a top redzone target? It just doesn't make sense.

Yeah I haven't watched much tape but he's basically an extra OT as well. I doubt that Georgia offense would be coasting along without that extra  QB/RB protection. Could be too gimmicky for the NFL at the end of the day

Don't get me wrong. I won't be surprised if he's a MUCH better pro. It's just that level of production (or rather lack of it) is eye opening for a supposed top prospect.

I mean, if this guy is a Darren Waller type player and that's who he reminds me of in terms of height/weight/athleticism then damn... UGA has been really misusing him.

Yeah in regards to the OP, I haven't seen him mocked to the first. I've just been grabbing him in the 2nd or 3rd because we need to take another swing at TE. The Bama TE is interesting as well

With his measurables I won't be shocked if he sneaks into the late 1st.

I mean, imagine if you're the Cowboys. CeeDee Lamb is damn near your entire receiving offense. If you think this kid can be a Darren Waller type and there's not a receiver you absolutely love on the board, how do you pass on him?

I’d rather spend money on Geseki in FA. TEs take to long to develop if we pair a rookie TE and QB together 

I mean, I'd rather spend a 2nd round pick on a boom/bust prospect than dump $50M+ into Gesicki. If you think that's outlandish, go look at Dawson Knox's stats vs. Gesicki's. Knox got $53M over 4 years with $30M+ guaranteed.

I don’t think it’s outlandish but I think it’s necessary all the best Os have good TEs. Wouldn’t be such a hard pill to swallow if we didn’t have Ian Thomas’s contract already on the books

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
