I never heard of him, a quick search seems he was a 4th round prospect who is a special teamer, outside LB/safety hybrid.

I really, really wish they would have taken Queen in the 1st then Mims in the 2nd, and Burgess in the 3rd.

 

Naw man. We had to go get our new franchise... I mean backup qb.... I mean gadget player.... with the important 2nd round pick that we had to keep. 

Make sure good people surround Wentz...

2020 is just wow.

CB- Amik Robertson, Bryce Hall

I see the potential of a steal here. Something to be excited about.

You can find starting caliber wrs in the 4th rd

Which WRs do you like in the 4th?  I could see Donovan Peoples-Jones.

Gandy-Golden, Peoples-Jones or Tyler Johnson would be my picks.

DPJ or Watkins. Gandy-Golden if he falls

DPJ had some pretty bad qb play at Michigan. He's better then what is production shows

Don't get your hopes up on another WR

I dunno. Hurts was historically moronic even for us.

nah, Jon Harris, Danny Watkins, Jerome McDougal, SIdney Jones LJ smith, Agholor, the list of not so great high picks is long, we just don't draft well consistently. Every now and again we hit some home runs, but it's more rare than common occurrence.

I agree, we have yet to draft any lineman, or DB's

Please.....there's always guys who end up being better than they are but you aren't finding a starting receiver in the 4th round. Not this draft.

KJ Hill

Gabriel Davis

Still a lot of talent left at WR tomorrow. Plus you know, Jalen Reagor. 

Those guys aren't day 1 starters. This draft had day 1 starters out there in the 1st and 2nd round.

You're positive? How do you know?

Where do I go to rate our draft cause this crap is the "p” area

Yeah I know. We got one. DPJ, Johnson and Gandy-Golden have that potential as well. Most pundits have said there are starting caliber WRs into round 5 this year.

This team with the way they draft is more apt to draft a injured QB who would have been a 2nd rd pick if not for injury, and a Special Teams player Project and trade away one of your 4ths for a late 3rd next year.

This may be the draft that puts Howie back in the basement

This guy is a baby as far as football goes read his story..really only 2 years of D1 Football And he has the quickness you can't teach great vertical.

He can be a hybrid with that speed ...NEVER forget without Jims okay this kid don't get picked. And he ran faster at his pro day ..DavionTaylor was rated as a prospect with tremendous upside . After posting a blazing 4.39 in the 40-yard dash at Colorado’s Pro Day, he upped his draft position to become a possible 3rd Round pick." https://denver.cbslocal.com/2020/04/23...

Traits-based linebacker project with rare speed and explosiveness who may need an extended developmental runway to counter his lack of experience and awareness. Religious beliefs prevented him from playing high school ball (other than a single game) and he is still in the early stages of learning and applying proper technique and fundamentals in all phases of the game. While his inexperience shows up plenty on tape, he has flashes that show off what he could be capable of in the future. Scouts say he's very coachable and that he's one of Mel Tucker's (current CU head coach and former NFL coach) favorites. At best, he develops into a playmaking starter after two or three years. At worst, he should be a plus special teams talent fairly quickly.

 great instincts. 

Curious. Where did you determine this? Most knocks are about his inability to put himself in good position against elite linemen and misdiagnose breaks from receivers.

Yup GM's fall in LOVE with----------------------------------------------------------POTENTIAL.

I thought they said they were going to take production over potential, actually on field play vs combine warriors? Could have sworn Howie or someone said that at end of season.
