Re: Welcome Jahan Dotson, WR PSU - 1st Round Pick

Who knows (you don't), Dotson may have been graded as high or higher on their board than those three. You drop down to the 20s and you're probably out of 1st round worthy receivers at that point - otherwise GB or KC would have come away with one.
He's not a big guy, a couple inches shorter than Williams and Olave, but gimme a break. He's seven pounds lighter than Williams with better hands and a better knee, he's four pounds lighter than Olave with better hands and as good a route runner, and he's just as fast as both of them.
I know it's easy to hate this team and EVERY decision they make, but quite honestly not everything they do is wrong, disappointing, or reactionary...
In my opinion, this is a Big W on day 1 of the draft.

Since you quoted my post; I’ll preface once again. *In my opinion* it’s a good pick, Dotson’s a good player, and I’m glad we added two picks; BUT *In my opinion* He would’ve been available in the 20’s. We’ll agree to disagree.
