I like the Collins pick. He seems like a potentially very underrated WR given his tools and skill set that just suffered from a bad college choice. No clue why you’d get offered Alabama yet choose Michigan as a wr. but it does seem like a bit of an overpay. But if he turns into an NFL receiver in any way obviously not. The projections had him more like 4th round from why I read hence he overpay comment but whatevs.
Man I'm a big Watson fan but that doesn't mean I'm not calling it like I'm seeing it. To me Caserio is doing well with the cards he's been dealt. These are good picks so far.
So just as a physical comparison: Watson 6’2 220 40-4.66 Vert-32.5 Shuttle-4.31 3 cone-6.95 9.75 Hands Mills 6’4 220 40-4.58-4.66 Vert-32 Broad jump-9’2 Shuttle-4.37 3 cone- 6.90 9.5 hands
That 2022 4th they traded is likely to be very high. That pick alone could be worth almost as much as the pick they got. Hope the player works out.

Mills is a good pick, just not when there are so many holes to fill. I could see them trading him down the line for some better draft picks, which wouldn’t be the end of the world. On the other hand, Collins helps right away, which is good, but they gave up a lot for him. They at least got two good prospects. Could’ve been worse I guess.
I honestly didn't have much hope for next season anyway. If this QB ends up a gem in the rough, that comes out shining after a year of development, then taking that risk in the 3rd round will be worth it. That makes it interesting. Nobody knows his true potential from his limited playing time, which is why it makes it a little exciting. It's time luck comes our way for a change, so wouldn't it be great if he ended up being a guy the other teams regret not picking up when they had the chance?
it is a 4th and 5th (not 2). To swap your 4th round pick with the Panthers' 3rd, you gave up a 4th and a 5th. For a Big WR (6'4'') with 4.42 speed. You haven't had that since Andre Johnson (6'3''..4.41 40 time). Not saying he is Andre Johnson, but you haven't had a WR from a big time College program with those measurables since Andre. Hopkins is only 6'1'' and his 40 was in the 4.5s.
