Re: Welcome Jahan Dotson, WR PSU - 1st Round Pick

I'm very OK with this if he can deliver. I mean, we could have picked him at 11 anyway but now we have 2 more lower round picks to address other holes. I would have liked to see Hamilton taken, and I really hope they bolster the secondary later on, but on paper this is far from a bad move.

Re: Welcome Jahan Dotson, WR PSU - 1st Round Pick

Daniel Jeremiah said that Jahan Dotson has "the best hands in the draft". Greg Cosell said that it's "close" between Dotson and Wilson as prospects. So, I'm good. If Samuel can get on the field and stay there next season, we should have a very good WR corps.

This deep WR draft enabled us to trade down and still grab a talented and productive WR in Round 1. Now we need to put the 3rd and 4th round picks we received in the trade to good use.

Re: Welcome Jahan Dotson, WR PSU - 1st Round Pick

I think when they dropped down to 16 they were hoping Olave or Jameson Williams would be there, they won’t say that publicly of course. Slightly disappointing that it didn’t work out that way, because Olave plus the two picks would have been a coup.

Nevertheless the 3rd and the 4th rounder we picked up here should help us add two strong contributors, both of those picks will probably be guys with 2nd round grades thanks to this deep draft.

I agree. They thought Hamilton, Olave, or Williams would fall to 16. That didn’t happen so they panicked and took Dotson. Getting the extra 3rd and 4th helps, but I’m convinced we could’ve traded down to the 20’s, grabbed an extra pick or two, and still got Dotson.

That's a bad assumption

*In my opinion* Dotson was a reach *at 16*; and I’ll assume again we could’ve traded back to the 20’s, added another pick, and Dotson would’ve still been there.

And you'd be pissed off if we had traded to the low 20s and he wasn't there.

I think given the run of WRs, the team couldn't have traded too far down, if their goal was to get a WR and picks.

Re: Welcome Jahan Dotson, WR PSU - 1st Round Pick

Mayhew said they had offers to trade down from 16 and I would bet that Green Bay and Kansas City were among them looking to get the last of the top echelon WR, so it would be no certainty that Dotson would have been available at 20.

Re: Welcome Jahan Dotson, WR PSU - 1st Round Pick

If Dotson was 6'1 he would have been a top 2 WR. His speed and route running is very good. I'm happy with it, would have loved Williams but whatever.

Re: Welcome Jahan Dotson, WR PSU - 1st Round Pick

He had 2 drops last year with 91 Rec.. That's pretty damn legit. A WR Grade of 91.2

Re: Welcome Jahan Dotson, WR PSU - 1st Round Pick

I’m sober and slept on it…still seemed like a reach. I’m worried about his size and he seems like a slot receiver. Do you spend a first on a primarily slot receiver? Silver lining is getting much needed extra picks.

if Williams or Hamilton are blue chippers then we fucked up.

Re: Welcome Jahan Dotson, WR PSU - 1st Round Pick

I think it is a safe pick his floor is pretty high. I personally wanted Olave so frustrated we had the opportunity and didn't pull the trigger. If we get a quality OL with the 3rd rounder I will probably consider it an even cover of the loss on Olave.

Re: Welcome Jahan Dotson, WR PSU - 1st Round Pick

We could have had Olave at #11. It must have been hard to pass on him because I believe he was the best deep threat in this class. Reminds me of DeSean Jackson. I definitely felt a twinge of loss when we traded down but I also believe that at this stage in the team build we needed more picks. So, we got a very good player at #16 and two nice picks. I'll have to learn to deal with it.

Re: Welcome Jahan Dotson, WR PSU - 1st Round Pick

At first glance I didn't like the pick or the trade, but after mulling it over a bit Dotson looks like he could be very good. However, outside of Cam Simms there are no big WR on the team, which could be limiting.

As for the trade, the classic trade chart says we got hosed but it seems to me that trade charts are nonsense when there is year to year variation in depth and quality of the players, especially this year. So after consideration I don't dislike it, just wish the 3rd was a bit higher, a 3rd comp pick is basically just a high 4th rounder

Re: Welcome Jahan Dotson, WR PSU - 1st Round Pick

I really like Dyami Brown. Ben Standig said looking back at tape when he was on the field he got open a ton…Henike just didn’t care to get the ball to him.
