I just have a hard time putting Scott ahead of a guy like Josh Downs who was more productive in back to back seasons playing against tougher competition. I think Downs will test similarly to Scott speed wise as well, Downs has some great contested catches on tape also.
I don't hate Scott but I would loathe that pick at 31.

I respect your opinion quite a bit. That said, I don't think Downs will test anywhere near what Scott does. Scott was a junior olympian and will most likely run in the mid-4.2s. His acceleration and top-end are insane. There's a better-than-not chance he tests faster than Tyreek. Downs looks really similar to a guy we already have on the roster, to be honest. I think Flowers is quicker. Scott is absolutely quicker. Downs was a feature target they manufactured getting the ball. Scott put up 100 less yards on 40 less receptions. I just think when Reid sees the tape of this kid, that big brain of his is already going to be scheming what he can do with this kid.
