What do you think about Will Fuller?

This year is easily the least tuned in I have been on the NFL draft in ages. I'm hoping that Fuller can be a good #2 receiver behind DeAndre Hopkins.

It's so hard to know much about college football prospects unless you watch A LOT of college football. You just kind of have to trust the "experts". I'd check to see where McShay had him ranked. I trust him more than Kiper.

Wills highlights bother me. Every catch was a body catch. Never went to get one with his hands that I saw.

We do need a down field threat, though, and his speed can let him do that

-picks 1 and 2 went the way it was expected.
-The Chargers shocked everyone taking Bosa, they would've been better off taking Ramsey or Buckner (if you look at the money they have invested in their o-line, you realize that OT was never an option at this stage in the draft)
-Cowboys are so stupid. Not only did they completely reach on taking Elliott (They just signed alfred morris, and with that o-line they dont need to spend an early selection on a running back, they shouldve waited till round 2 (Henry) or 3 (collins)), but they were offered a a trade to move down to #6, and refused because they were worried Elliott would be picked up at #5. That makes absolutely zero sense.
-49ers have Buckner fall in their lap (Buckner + Armstead will make a nice pairing), then they traded up to grab a guard that was mostly regarded as a third round prospect. (49ers had one of the best picks in the draft as well as the overall worst pick in the first round)
-Ravens, Titans, Raiders, Falcons, and Steelers all reached
-Other than that, lots of defense, and questionable wide receivers. Still a ton of talent left on the board.

Aw man! Hunter Henry was #1 on my wish list for the Texans.

Are there any other Tight Ends of his caliber in this draft?

Yeah, I'll pass on that guy! :lol:

I like the Texans selection of Nick Martin. He'll likely start for the Texans right out of the gates.

Cool move by the NFL playing Purple Rain for the Vikings pick!

Jags got a rookie class of Dante Fowler, Jalen Ramsey, and Myles Jack next year.

Combine that with Malik Jackson, Tashaun Gipson, Prince Amukamara, and a healthy Senderrick Marks.

Like the Raiders draft.

Is there anyway we can have your GM. We don't like ours in Big D.

I've said this before, Fuller looks like a mini Randy Moss, or poor man's Moss. Watching him in ND, his pure speed puts him on another level, above everybody else. Fuller does have flaws, which is basically his average size and below average strength. I had Fuller going in the late 2nd round but i also expect him to make the pro bowl in a few years.

If Fuller ends up being a pro bowler, it won't matter if he went in the 1st instead of the 2nd. I don't see Fuller ever competing for #1 WR in the NFL, but i do see him with multiple 1000 yard seasons.
