I'd be happy with it if it didn't include Walker and Hart.

I like WRs who can catch and CBs who can flip their hips and stay in phase with WRs through the route break.

To be fair those were specific knocks on Rice and Sneed coming out.

Sure, but I feel like both are significantly worse. A big reason I don't like CBs that are much over 6'0" is that they "usually" struggle with transition and staying in phase. I get he's a mid-round flier but I'm not on board at all. He can't stick with guys that can run routes but he looks great in a straight line. Honestly, I'd like him more putting on some weight and playing FS.

To be fair as well, Rice's drops followed him to the pros. He was productive but his drop rate wasn't great. It was atrocious early on before evening out around 8%. I'm worried about Franklin's, that's my biggest knock on the kid, much less Walker who is significantly worse.

Ironically Hart owned Tez Walker in the Senior Bowl drills. I remember reading that Walker was a mid 2 range prospect entering the Senior Bowl. He bombed hard though that week.

Apparently he was the worst player at the Senior Bowl. Wonder if that pushed him to rd 3?

Pretty sure everyone owned Tez Walker at the Senior Bowl and when it wasn't that way he dropped it. He had an atrocious week. No player hurt their stock more than that kid did. I have serious reservations about putting him in round 2 but sometimes you just have to chalk it up as a bad week and look at what he did all season. I think that warrants someone taking a flier in round 2. Not a great track history with NC WRs though. He's a lot like Dyami Brown and that scares me because I liked Brown more than I should have.

He wasn't struggling to separate too bad, that's why the drops seemed so egregious. Also I think his college drop rate was below 7% so not great but not awful.

I guess the bigger issue is his lack of production when combined with that. I know there were mitigating circumstances but maybe I'm just finding excuses. Either way if I like a WR it's the kiss of death.

I could be speaking out of my ass but I'm quite certain it was 8.5% this year. The Shrine Bowl made Toney look good though.
