All this chatter about Hunter or Tet with the #4 pick. I'd bet Will Campbell will be the guy in the end.
In the end I really hope Vrabel and Wolf have enough confidence in him to take them there. If that's who they chose I'll forget all about arm length.

Given what I know which admittedly is not much I like other guys more.
 
You've had some crazy takes in your time my friend. This might be near the very top of the list.
King Tet only played WR while Hunter played CB also.

Here's a list of all starting LTs in the NFL since 2000 with an arm length under 33 inches:

Fine, he's Keyshawn Johnson. A receiver archetype that last saw its heyday 2 decades ago. Those types of receivers do not succeed in the modern NFL. You still need to separate if you're tall. Jump balls aren't an offensive plan. It's like 2000s basketball, iso your one good player, and clear everyone out to the other side.

Outside of *maybe* Mike Evans, although he's become a much better route runner in the NFL and always got separation (because he had to with Johnny Manziel in college), name me the slow, jump ball, """"route runner"""" (McMillan's route-running is fine, not great, certainly not top-5 worthy) that's succeeded in the league in the last 10-15 years.

Teams talk themselves into this kind of receiver every year, and yes, the Patriots talked themselves into N'Keal Harry (although at least that was pick 32). And the success rate is incredibly low. Much lower than the undersized fast guy archetype (McConkey).

It's pick 4. If it were pick 24, I would maybe start to consider it, but it's not. 4 is generational-type talent, or trade down. That's it. Settling for a mid-to-low-first round talent (McMillan, Campbell, Carter) would be a disaster.
You had to bring up N’Keal Harry didn’t you? A guy with measurables considerably shorter than T-Mac in height hands and wingspan, without T-Macs fast twitch or athleticism, without T-Mac’s yards after catch ability, and without -T-Mac’s route running ability.

What makes you think T Mac can’t separate? This is a fallacy. Also T-Mac has a lot of similarities to Mike Evans in his game tape and has been compared to him by several scouts.
 
True. Who won the Biletnikoff?
I get it: I'm just a little envious of Big WR like King Tet: they are an Advantage if they work out.

I brought up Harry only to mention that teams talk themselves into that kind of archetype WR.

How are Corey Davis, Corey Coleman and Kelvin Benjamin doing?

Yes i understand the concern. I am hesitant myself for number 4 overall. I really want hunter. He’s. No brainer at 4. I like Tet but at 10th overall after a trade down

Benjamin had Three very good years to his credit: then it all went downhill.
 
Can someone please email this to GM Wolf before he makes a colossal mistake
The get Will Campbell @ 4 camp just took it in the nuts.

It won’t change their minds. They hate wide receivers. Notice how most of these detractors refer to them as “divas” and “me” guys without actually knowing anything about them.

Find me a great wide receiver who isn’t a little bit selfish. I’m done with drafting wideouts based on their interviewing prowess.
