Quote:Good for us then. If we wanted a speedy deep threat receiver, Devin Smith is the better player anyways and still available.

Really?  Smith may not go until the 3rd.  If he is so much better, why did Dorsett rise so high on all the team's boards and end up in the 1st? 

 

Not saying he wouldn't be a good pick at some point, but Dorsett seems to be the better player in the eyes of the people that do it for a living.

 

For the slot, I'd rather have Tyler Lockett in the 3rd, who is smaller, but faster, runs better routes and is not just a straight-line, fly pattern guy like Smith.  Catches a lot more balls and has better hands.

 

On Hilton:  " considered a poor man's T.Y. Hilton by some scouts, his best fit is likely as a slot receiver and day one return man on special teams."

 

On Smith:  "He is most effective on downfield routes and defenses must respect that, but is limited everywhere else on offense with shaky hands and a raw route tree, struggling to smoothly transition at the top of his patterns or set up his breaks."
