Figured it was worth taking a shot on him. He doesn't have to be great right away and would get a lot of work in the red zone.

Can't agree more, get him to learn from behind and unleash him when he's ready

 

[jsimcox]

Freaking seahawks rob me of my guy!!!! Oh well..

With 64th pick the draft the New England Patriots select:

Devin Funchess, WR, Michigan

I was in thirds as to whether to take Coates, Funchess or Jackson.
Decided on Coates in the end as I think he has the potential to be in the top couple of WR's from this group a couple of years down the line.

Was actually going to look into trading back up for Jackson, just my luck that all three guys go of the board one after another lol.

 

[Tron]

with the 66th pick, the Tennessee Titans select....

Alex Carter, CB, Stanford

I was guessing Funchess would be your pick if he fell to you. Obviously didn't make it to you though, but curious if he would have been the pick if he was still available?

I can see Coates being around for a good few years, he's a bit raw right now, but I can see him being a top WR in a couple of years - and staying there

Yeah that's pretty much what I saw too. Somewhat of a Demaryius Thomas kind of prospect for me. All of the physical tools, just needs to put it all together.

Was toying with Funchess, he does have that 'something', I think he could be similar to Jared Cook, a WR/TE hybrid...

but Carter was my first choice here in the 3rd, surprised he was left on the board tbh

Yep, he seems the type of guy that needs the right type of co-players, and coaches and he could sky-rocket...

 

[Rams Until I Die]

I have a feeling Coates will be pretty good when the light switch goes on.

the more I'm looking at these young guys, yes talent IS important, but I think a huge percentage of success depends on the supporting cast & coaches, can they be guided on the right path, coached correctly etc...

So true!

All of those things, along with the most important in my eyes: work ethic. How much does this guy want to be the best?
So many times in the NFL the best players have been the guys that don't have the best measurables, but have the greatest desire to succeed. That's the biggest thing for me.

Forgot that one! you're right how much do they WANT it. I hate seeing guys with God given talent and athleticism just waste it, or just do enough to get by. Hats off to you @jsimcox for bringing that one up!

It isn't the lights. It's those stone hands. And you typically don't see guys who drop shit tons of passes, suddenly start reeling them in in the NFL. You can either catch, or you can't.

I never noticed he had stone hands but then again I've only seen a few of his games.

 

[Barrison]

With the 67th pick the Jacksonville Jaguars select Kevin Johnson CB Wake Forest.

Nice pick. I had him just below Rollins on my board.

 

[Barrison]

Nice pick. I had him just below Rollins on my board.

I was really torn between him or Donovan Smith OT but I figured since the Jags just cut Will Blackmon, that CB just jumped up the list of team needs.

 

[Athos]

Shit. Bunch of guys I was looking at disappeared with the last handful of picks.

Chargers are looking for a 5th to move down. Otherwise they'll grudgingly make their selection.

 

[Boston Ram]

I think you made my he right call going with him over Smith.
