2022 NFL Draft Talk

[Bretsky]

I think Jahan Dotson is one of the safest WRs in this draft. Maybe hes not a 1,300 yard guy, but hes a sure bet to be 900-1000 yards. He effortlessly plucks the ball, runs good routes, smart, fast. Id bet on him all day.

Maybe hes second round because hes smaller. But then why isnt everyone else second round?

If Olave, Wilson and Williams are first round, so should Dotson be. Hes a player.

To me, I think Wilson is just a stud and I'm a guy who HATES OSU with a passion. Olave a very good fit for GB. I think both run better routes and are also ahead of Dotson because I think Dotson can get jammed at the line of scrimmage; doesn't seem that strong. But he's slippery.

I know I get caught up at wanting guys at certain levels. Dotson seems like a round 2 guy to me; upper round two.

I have a hard time between Skyy Moore and Dotson. There are things about Watson I like better than both but that's me always shooting for the upside )

In the end I'd really like one of the top 5 at pick 22 unless a stud D falls (unlikely) and then if Watson or Moore or Pickens are there pick 53 I'd run up and hand in the card. Assuming Dotson is not around pick 53.



P.S. I LOVE THE WR DEBATES so keep the data coming ) In the end, if history has it's way, GB will draft a WR over one I really want anyways....lol.

Yall know I'm the guy who's been begging for a high round WR for many many years now and honestly I blame Gute for the serious lack of talent we have there because he's neglected the position and/or made bad decisions on who to draft there.

[Bretsky]

Dotson isnt quite as heavy as Greg Jennings was, but he reminds me a bit of Jennings. Hes smooth and effortless and just plucks the ball with ease.

Like I said, hes a safe pick. I just dont see him busting. Hes a natural pass catcher and smart and runs good routes.

Another thing about Dotson, hes polished. I think he could play right away.

I tend to plug in Olave into your description of Dotson. Heard many compare Olave to Marv Harrison.

WHO is the best Jennings Comp ? Jennings was just a Fabulous Route Runner who didn't allow others to jam him well at the LOS. He's one of the best route runners we've ever had ? But isn't he quite a bit bigger and stronger than Dotson ?

Now if you believe in Matty (which I do as well) he can find ways to use a lil guy; but I'd rather swing for maybe a higher all around player. RG, I still give you infinite credit for James Carpenter. Maybe you've plucked the James Carpenter of WR's.

I just tend to put Dotson in the second tier or WR's I'd probably want between picks 35 and 55

There are a handful of good receivers. I mean, you turn on the highlights and they all look good.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I like Skyy Moore more than Dotson. He has a better chance of staying outside as a pro. A lot of the WRs success will come down to where they land though. For the Packers I’d take these WRs before Dotson:

London, Williams, Burks, Olave, Pickens, Watson, Pierce, Moore, and maybe Tolbert.

[Upnorth]

I always though the reason Jennings never got jammed was he was smooth. Un complicated efficent routes. He did some hand fighting, and was good at it.
How is dotson at that? Does he run smooth? Can he get a touchdown on a broken leg?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Most years I have a comp to Greg Jennings, but I couldn't come up with a good one this year. Most of the guys who are relatively similar to him this year are much lighter. Skyy Moore might be the closest. Dotson, to me, is more like Tyler Lockett.

[run pMc]

Dotson is a little guy, probably best in the slot, and GB has Amari and Cobb there already.
I'm with Harvey, there are many WRs I'd prefer over Dotson.

I agree with Harvey that the best comparison to Jennings is probably Skyy More. Jennings weighed 197 at the combine. Guys like Dotson are almost 20 pounds lighter. Still I think if the Packers think a smaller guy is special, they'll take him. TT liked drafting big receivers (Terrence Murphy, James Jones, Jordy Nelson), but he still drafted smaller guys if he really liked them (Jennings, Randall Cobb). Albeit in the 2nd round.

[RashanGary]

Tyreek Hill is 5-10 and 185. He does fine at that height and weight.

I think Dotson can do well in the NFL at that height and weight too.

[RashanGary]

Steve Smith played at 5-9 and 185. He was pretty good. Dotson should not be disregarded because he is the exact height and weight of some of the best WRs.

[RashanGary]

Antonio Brown 5-10 and 185

[RashanGary]

Antonio brown
5-10 184 4.59 40

Steve Smith
5-10 185 4.44 40

Tyreek Hill
5-10 185 4.29 pro day 40

Jahan Dotson
5-11 184 4.43 40


Dotson is not a slot receiver. He can do everything.

I agree. Seems like a lot of people see a WR under 6 feet tall and immediately think slot receiver.

Packers hosting Devante Wyatt on a visit today. There have been reports of character concerns with him, so Packers may want a face to face visit to get a sense of what he's like.

However, I haven't heard what those character concerns actually are, so it could be teams spreading mud about him because they want him to fall to them in the draft.

Edit:

According to a University of Georgia police incident report, the 6-foot-3, 301-pound senior was involved in a verbal altercation last Friday with a female student that led to him kicking her McWhorter apartment door multiple times from the hallway to force it open. The Clarke County Sheriff’s Office charged him with three misdemeanors — family violence, criminal trespass and damage to property. According to media reports, he was booked into the Clarke County Jail late Tuesday night and was still there on Wednesday with a $1,500 bond.

According to the report, the two had an argument in Wyatt’s dorm room at Vandiver Hall, then the female left and walked to her room. Wyatt followed her there, where the incident took place.


“I’m disappointed in the misconduct that is outlined in the incident report," Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said in a statement on the situation. "This is not indicative of the behavior we expect from our student-athletes who represent the University of Georgia and our football program. We will address it internally in the appropriate way.”

[RashanGary]

Tyreek Hill, Lockett, Renfrow, Dionte Johnson, Christian Kirk, Mooney, Cooks, waddle, Marquise Brown and Christian Kirk

All 5-10 or 5-11. Marquise Brown is 5-9

That is 10 of the top 27 receivers in the NFL by receiving yards.

5-10 and 5-11 is not too short. And 184 is not too light. It is right in the wheel house of where guys succeed. And most of these guys are perimeter weapons not slot guys.

Most of them go in the 2nd and 3rd rounds too. But they should not. Jahan Dotson is gonna be a player.
