    Fine with me

    Not perfect but getting this kind of big play ability at 22 is nice

    Well this won't be a 1st if that turns out to the the case for a WR to have that issue and get it corrected. He seemed to do very well getting open also. Obviously O'Brian feels he can be coached up and I think that'll be the case...I'm one of the one's that feels Strong should have a solid year also tho

    I was watching the high lights
    I was thinking .. . MAN THIS KID GETS OPEN
    cause he had few if any catches in traffic

    So either he was just burning folx
    or
    He was shaking them

    Seems like he is a burner . . .which is fine
    I am not overly familiar with him but a nice second receiver should be fine

    I think Osweiller can air it out . .. .
    Just as long as we do AIR IT OUT more . .. this dink and dump **** has got to go

    Smith felt there was a run coming on WRs and didn’t want to lose Fuller. So felt the need to trade up for him. #Texans

    This makes no sense... We had the next pick so a run didn't matter

    Of course it doesn't matter who we are all high on or who we don't like, time will tell what kind of player he turns out to be. IMO the odds of Fuller being something special are pretty bad but not many thought much of TY Hilton either. Exceptions to the rules happen.

    It makes sense because we didn't trade up someone else would have and took our guy. Hence the net 2 picks being receivers.

    It just sounds weird because a run is many picks. We just needed to make sure one pick wasn't fuller

    Liked Docton more as well. Feel like this guy is Mike Wallace/Terry Glenn.
