Held my nose and took Restrepo. Don't love the pick.
 
I would've drafted Treveyon Henderson here.
 
I went with Royals. I think I’d have waited until pick 77 for the WR at this point.
 
I normally don't like to influence the vote lol but I chose the dual threat freak.
 
I like Noel and Royals too but I'm all about highest ceiling.

I like Williams, but I don't trust this organization to develop a player of his skill set, which is why I went with Restrepo. He fits in JMcDs wheelhouse.
 
Henderson or Taylor would have been good here but very happy if Noel wins as he’s my binky.
 
Steve Smith did his top 10, and he loves Royals. Had him number 5, ahead of anyone on this list.

I voted Noel because hes my highest rated WR on the list and because I think he'd thrive in a McDaniels offense.

But, I would have no problems with Savion. Yeah he's raw and it's a gamble but now it's the 3rd round. We've seen how hard it is to get a top tier WR. Sometimes you just trust you can develop him. We've seen big guys that need polish develop. Nico Collins the latest. DK, go back to Terrell Owen's and Brandon Marshall. Of course there are a lot more busts in that profile, but sometimes the risk works out.

The signing of Mack Hollins could even help with development. But in the 3rd round, if all you get is a big play return man and gadget player on offense, it's not the end of the world. Upside is, the team has it's own top 12-15 WR with his size and big play ability.

Nice. I went with Royals based on really good production. 1080 yards and 15 TDs shows a guy who knows how to get yards and get into endzone.

His size is good too at 6' 210 he's pretty tanky for a WR. 4.42 timed combine 40 is nice speed.

He also shows nuanced routes to create separation and has good YAC ability which will allow him to create bigger plays out of initial short passes.

I think he has good tools and effective burst that can help him create big plays as well. Wow the guy who does the breakdown gives his pro comp as Stefon Diggs.

Film breakdown:

Nice, one of the things Smith said about him is that he’ll only get better as he had very shaky QB play and coaching in college. I’d love to see us get him in the 3rd round.
 


That said, at 69? C'mon man, at Gronk's favorite number???
It has to be Elijah Arroyo, a TE ftw
Wrong kinda football for the Arroyo. Ain't going to throw anyone out of the building.
 
OK safe to say we have a consensus on Jalen Royals. I'll go ahead and post the selection.
