Snags:
This kid is crazy quick and fast…but small, only 5’9"-175lbs. I’d still like to see him on our roster, might make a good slot receiver and punt returner.
The kid is lightning in a bottle!

We drafted a guy with similiar talent last year in Jason Huntley
Similar in terms of size and quickness.
But they play different positions.
Huntley is a RB/KR… not a WR.
Not similar at all really but okay
i think we’re going to see the four smaller guys, i.e. Rondale Moore, Elijah Moore, Dwayne Eskridge, and Jaelon Darden go later than the draftniks and prognosticators project simply because you have an over-supply of similar WRs.
After the big three, Toney, Bateman, Marshall, and Wallace may all go before any of these guys are taken. Dyami Brown could squeeze in there as well.
We can nickname him Splat.

Looking back, I was close:
NFL Draft: 2021 / Round: 2 / Pick: 49
Lyonfan1:
I like him. Here is how I rank the “lightning bugs”
J Waddle- top 6-12 overall = zero value at #7 imho . With a trade down to #10-12 I’d consider him with an extra 2nd in tow… heck I suggested trading down to #10 with Dallas and picking up M Gallup. That hypothetical trade plus adding Waddle would give us a really nice WR room with diversity of skill sets!
Elijah Moore - very late 1st- early 2nd = solid value even in a trade up. He comps somewhere between Tyler Lockett and Ty Hill. . Super crisp routes, amazing change of direction, 22 reps at his size shows his strength. I don’t think he tracks deep balls quite like Lockett, or is quite as a xplosove as hill obviously, but call him a solid blend of the 2… a better Brandin Cooks.
Darden/Eskridge/R Moore- I’d take any of them in round 3 , and again if we could swing a Dallas trade involving Gallup it would solidify the WR room in 2021. Value in round 3= excellent
My preference is E Moore after trading down in 1, adding a 2nd and 3rd…then trading up to top of 2 to take him
Trade down
C Barmore
E Moore- trade up with 4th
A Learherwood /W Davis/L Eichenberg
D Moses/J Cox
???- FS
Glad we stayed at #7 and got Sewell…
and glad we got ASB in the 4th round.
