Would you take him at 24?
No, but only because there are other WR's I like more that I think will be available. I would personally ranking him as a late 1, early round 2 type prospect. I know a lot of people have him as a second rounder but I've always thought he had a really impressive skill set. Devonta Smith has sort of opened the door that a skinny dude can be really good in the NFL.

Pat McAfee got Bill Belichick to cover the entire draft with his crew. :lol

I'll be watching there this year.
Really? That does sound pretty interesting. The year or two after Parcells retired and did that for ESPN was great.

Wonder how honest BB will be if he expects to be back in the league next year, though.

Belichick was always kind of shitty at drafting so it's not that interesting to me really.

Honestly Parcells did a much better job of enabling an organization to draft well than actually drafting well.

He and Belichick were really hit-or-miss as GMs. But the changes— in structure and how coaches and scouts engage— Parcells brought to Dallas made us much better at drafting overall to where we’ve had multiple successful drafts post Bill.

Pre-Bill, post-Herschel we were mostly God-awful.

During Bill’s time we’d have missed out on Ware without Jerry (hard to admit), and Bill forced the reach for Barbie Carpenter. But we got huge building blocks like Canty, Hatcher, and Ratliff that Jerry couldn’t have drafted in a million years— and that was directly because Bill’s system gave a stronger voice to the scouts

We regressed during Jerry’s “special teams draft”, but have mostly since enabled scouts to find late round contributors. It’s in the higher rounds where coaches still overpower the room and fuck us up with Charlton, Bossman, Wright, and Mazi.
