Rashod Bateman - WR Minnesota

Excellent technique catching the ball, solid speed and runs great routes. Notice the route starting around 1:22 ... next level stuff.

I love to see WR's catching the ball with their hands. Body catchers look so damn awkward and clumsy.

ChrisXVI 1st Round Mock 1.0

I’m projecting only one trade because it’s a sure thing and that’s Denver trading up to #4 with Atlanta. There will be more trades of course but I’m not guessing all that.

1. Jaguars- QB Trevor Lawrence
2. Jets- QB Zach Wilson
3. 49ers- QB Justin Fields
4. Broncos- QB Trey Lance
5. Bengals- WR Ja’Marr Chase
6. Dolphins- TE Kyle Pitts
7. Lions- WR DeVonta Smith
8. Panthers- OL Penei Sewell
9. Falcons- CB Patrick Surtain II
10. Cowboys- CB Jaycee Horn
11. Giants- OL Rashawn Slater
12. Eagles- Jaylen Waddle
13. Chargers- OL Alijah Vera-Tucker
14. Vikings- OL Christian Darrisaw
15. Patriots- QB Mac Jones
16. Cardinals- CB Caleb Farley
17. Raiders- OL Teven Jenkins
18. Dolphins- Edge Azeez Ojulari
19. WFT- LB Micah Parsons
20. Bears- OL Landon Dickerson
21. Colts- Edge Kwity Paye
22. Titans- CB Greg Newsome II
23. Jets- Edge Jaelan Phillips
24. Steelers- OL Sam Cosmi
25. Jaguars- DT Christian Barmore
26. Browns- LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah
27. Ravens- Edge Jayson Oweh

^^ good selections ....

XVI - IIRC you called it on Chauncey Gardner J months before that draft class

.

Zaven Collins would be a hell of a pick @28 if he's still there.

FWIW, I don’t actually think Zaven Collins is a great scheme fit. He’s a Patriots/Dolphins fit in the mold of Donta Hightower, Kyle Van Noy, Jamie Collins, etc. We’ve shown a ton of interest in him though and we LOVE square peg-round hole LB’s.

Shades of Stephone Anthony

?

I like Collins. His tape shows that he's also good in coverage & can play the run well. A lot of mocks have being selected somewhere between 20-25 or a pick or two after the Saints pick.

Line this guy up next to Demario & could be something we hadn't seen in a while. For a guy that big (260), he sure gets there in a hurry.

Maybe our coaches and scouts eyes are peeled wide open after seeing what Kwon could do next to DD.

FWIW, I also like Jabrill Cox.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Collins as well. I just think he’s a better fit in a multiple scheme and Dennis Allen is not creative enough to use him properly.

Now Jabril Cox, there’s a real baller. If we go with a different position in the 1st I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we traded up in the 2nd for Cox.
