If not Smith maybe take a chance on someone like Tamorrion Terry if the Bengals are looking for another potential weapon for Burrow.  He has nice size at 6'3" and runs a 4.44

Like both players and Cade Johnson KR/WR as I just said and Kenny Yeboa TE...

Terry was a guy I liked as a swing for the fence long shot since studying the prospects. Early on, I looked heavily at wr with some size that didn’t fit that “smallish slot-guy” profile, and Terry stuck out to me.

Why is Terry dropping I thought he was an excellent receiver in college and he's got great size and catch point

[*pally*]

of course with this plan Evans may never see the field

Brian Callahan with a nugget of insight on third downs next year: "I don't want Joe (Mixon) to leave the field, personally ... he should be on the field every down, he should catch every pass that comes out of the backfield, he should be on every protection required of him."

Reminds me of Chris Henry without the off the field issues. Just needs to work on his hands. Has great deep speed with that 
other gear just like Henry did.

I liked Trey Hill quite a bit coming into the draft. I didn't think he would fit the scheme here though.  He's the kind of guy who you can tell to push a tree over but asking him move lateraly is out of the question.  His athletic score was right in line with this

Don't judge him too unfairly.  That Michigan coaching staff is atrocious at developing and utilizing their players well.  Evans is a solid player.  He reminded me a lot of Chris Perry but without the supporting talent to let him shine.  He has good vision, good not great ability to make you miss, solidly built, and fast enough to break a few runs off.  Very solid pick up.

Hands and not a polished route runner.

[*psychdoctor*]

I am sort of surprised they have not drafted another wide receiver.

[*psychdoctor*]

There are a lot of good players left what do y'all think about Moses at linebacker God I remember he was rated in the first round last year

[*psychdoctor*]

That huge guard from that small school David Moore is still on the board as well as that cornerback from Michigan State Brown I thought he was pretty good in college

Would love him too. Cade, Yeboa, Trey Smith, Terry, Moses, geez.

My "Bold Prediction" was they would take 3 (and that was before we picked up 2-4ths) and I haven't been close to getting a pick right since Chase.

My last chance to be Nostradamus: 7th RD Dazz Newsome

[*Nate (formerly eliminate08)*]

Out of my 2 mocks I had Chase, Carman and McPherson in them...

Couldn't believe Ossai, D'Ante or Trey Hill fell as far as they did and we grabbed them up. Crazy steals IMO.

Yes, and weirdly would just not show up at times. He would have big production, making you think he was going to continue to ball out, then disappear. Perhaps another Dorial Green Beckham type; especially w the hands part you mentioned. I’ll admit , I tend to gravitate to those types at times lol.

And the Bears just took him.

Have to throw last year out the window when judging a lot of players especially Terry. Was a weird year for everyone and Terry
had a nagging injury that is healed up now. Would be extremely happy with him or the many other players mentioned here.

Lots of great picks to still be had but I am leaning Trey Smith as the blood clot issues are in the past according to Tennessee 
fans. Grab both the Trey's.

Had the same call, just didn't expect him to last that long, thank God.
