Dont sleep on Jahan Dotson from Penn State.
The Real conubrum will be if LB Lloyd & any of the Top 5 are still there, (22-26Pick), after Wilson & Williams are long gone…Say Lloyd vs. Burks??..IMO, there are more good-to-excellent wide receivers still available then similar LB’s…Dean, Lloyd, then 2-3rd round material…I’d go for LB Lloyd in that scenario…Just sayin.

I want a WR that’s tough as Deebo Samuel. Personally, I’m not in awe of any O$U receivers. Why? They don’t play against top competition and with some many other talented players, if tough to gauge how good they will be.
I’ve been watching more and more video of Treylon Burks. There is a LOT to like with this kid. I would LOVE to see him in a Lions uniform.

Burks is gonna go top 15 IMO…top WR…I hope teams sleep on him.

I think I prefer Williams over Wilson given what I think the Lions most need. I think for opposing Defensive Coordinators Williams is the scariest player in this draft. His combination of being an elite deep threat AND a YAC virtuoso is pretty sweet. Both of those guys (and London) likely go before the Rams pick.

Burks may be the wild card here in that he may displace one of those 3. There is only 1 player that if available would keep me from drafting a WR with our 2nd pick is Devin Lloyd.

When say competition, I was referring to weekly. Big 10 doesn’t have great corners and O$U is so stacked that it’s hard to really gauge. Don’t make the same mistake like you did with Okudah is all I’m saying
Nice catch but how my receptions did Wilson have against Clemson?
4 for 47 that year when he was behind Chris Olave, Binjimen Victor, Austin Mack, and KJ Hill on the depth chart as a freshman.
He actually only had 2 for 52 against Clemson the next year too, but with what the game plan was that shouldn’t alarm anyone. Ohio State took advantage of Clemson’s pass defense with its tight ends and downfield shot games. Olave and Jameson Williams had the speed to just run past the Clemson secondary for Fields to throw it deep like he did all game, and OSU’s TEs were such a mismatch for the Clemson personnel that every underneath thing basically went to them or Trey Sermon out of the backfield. Wilson actually got behind the secondary once too that game, but there wasn’t a lot designed for him.
This is why I think Wilson is a better fit than Jameson Williams or even Olave. He’s better at everything that has to do with being a not deep threat WR, and Goff needs that. We tried getting a bunch of deep threats that didn’t pan out because Goff can’t throw it that far.
I’d also like to point out that not shown in this clip was the hurry up play we ran where Dobbins was walking into the endzone that was blown dead so they could review this.
We ended up with 3 on this possession.
Those damn refs…
You could have made this same argument against Marshon Lattimore, Michael Thomas and Terry McLaurin, all of whom have turned out to be good pros. Even in the SEC, high draft picks don’t face off against other high draft picks very often, there’s always projection involved.
Interesting, first time this trade was offered Lions drop one spot. I noticed after I took Ross that Pickens was still available and I would have taken him over Ross from Clemson.

I don’t know if I really agree with the conclusion that the B1G doesn’t have good corners. Ohio State plays in the B1G East. That division is about as stacked as a division as there is in college football. Plus, these Ohio State WRs are going up against Ohio State DBs daily in practice. Which is in the running for DBU. Not to mention they make the playoffs most year. Its not like MSU, UM, and Penn State are garbage at CB. They recruit athletes. I think this year, the SEC seems to have the advantage in top CBs, but I don’t think its that skewed most years.
That play is 1 good example of his body control.
Here is another that caight my eye from him.
Just a shallow crossing route, but the QB throws it high and well behind Wilson.
.
.
Check out how he had to jump and turn his hips at least 90 degrees back, and still has the flexibility and awareness to get his head turned looking for where the defense is located behind him.
.
.
As he lands, his hips are now turned 180 degrees from the momentum of his twisting jump.
.
And… as he turns upfield… he has now turned 270 degrees… and is able to quickly get more YAC.
.
That type of body control… combined with his sudden acceleration… and his movement reminds me a bit of Torry Holt and perhaps Donald Driver for my comps. 
Obviously… those are lofty comps and he may not match their success in NFL… but those traits are high on my list for evaluating WRs.

I’d nominate PP as well. I like pictures almost as much as I like Magik Beanz!
