I'd still rather sign DJ Chark to let Pierce develop behind him, but the depth there would be elite by season's end...

White-boy comparison aside, Pierce compares to former Green Bay WR Jordy Nelson; straight line speed to get extra cushion off the line; mental toughness to win at the catch-point...

Translation - Alex Pierce has traits of a dawg.

High points the ball, 50/50 specialist and can separate.

I’ll be highly disappointed if we don’t grab a WR early in the draft.

Ironhead has another boy going pro this year: Michigan St HB/TE Connor Heyward. He played running back for four years and moved to more of a H-Back/TE role this past season.

He’s about 6-0, 230 and I don’t have to tell you he’s a tough runner. He definitely doesn’t have breakaway speed but he did return kicks so there’s a little elusiveness there and pretty good hands in the passing game.

I think there’s a lot of potential there.

Man I hope not, I'm not really seeing anything great on the highlight reels. Kenny Picket looks like the most NFL ready QB, but I also like Carson Strong from Nevada.

Velus is a SUPER SENIOR

. He'll be 25 in May. What's his story?

Great speed but a lot of scouts see him as a special teams workhorse that you will need to "develop" at WR.

Projections - 4th/5th round by many.
