    Mike Williams realllllly interests me, but I'll wait until I see his measurements/combine before I start praying for him at #5. Lots of WRs that will be available with our 3rds that could be interesting. Chris Godwin from PSU, Dede Westbrook from OU, & Travin Duval from LSU all tickle my fancy.

    What are your thoughts about Josh Reynolds? I don't know much about the prospects, I'm sure lots of hype now until draft

    I think there is zero chance Westbrook is available midway thru round 3. I expect him to go top 50-60. If he runs slow - 4.5 range he could be. But I expect him to be 4.4 or faster.

    Yeah it's still really early, but he's in that fringe for me. Day 2 potential draftee.

    Honestly don't even know the name... not as familiar with the prospects this year as I normally am.

    I was not overly impressed from what little I've seen on him. I've only seen maybe two games of him. The few times he covered slot wr's he did very well (albeit once with a S over the top so he could undercut the play and make a nice INT). He doesn't look anything close to 220lbs and he doesn't hit like it either. He's more of a get you down type. He's a bit sloppy at times tackling as just in the arkansas game he had a few missed tackles and some he barely got down by the ankles. He also basically got a sack by the RT not even trying to block him.

    He looks like a draftable player but we need to see his actual size, speed, weight, athleticism and hopefully, more tape of him. His coverage and ball skills are what intrigue me the most. Right now, to me, I think his ceiling is 3rd round and floor is not getting drafted.

    Anyone seen more of him with a more complete breakdown?

    He's a tall thin rangy wr. He's probably in the neighborhood of 6'3 but probably under 200lbs. Not sure how fast he is but he does have a little burst and has very good hands. He made a spectacular catch in the LSU game but will occasionally drop a ball. And you get a little disappointed when he doesn't make every spectacular catch.

    He seemed fairly controlled in the LSU game but did beat White on a slant late and then out ran everyone to the endzone.

    Right now he's probably somewhere between 3-5th rounds but I'll be very interested to see his actual size, speed, height and athleticism. He looks fairly unstoppable on comeback type routes since he does have long arms and very good hands.

    He will inevitably draw Josh Doctson comparisons due to their builds and hands but I don't think his hands are quite that good and Doctson not doing much this year won't help him.

    Watch him in the Senior Bowl! It should tell us a lot when he gets to practice for a week against top cb's and S's. Add the combine and he could be a big mover possibly.
