Yep, both Elerson and Fehoko should be ranked higher on people's boards. Good value.

ESII is my Alex Highsmith of this year’s draft.
Fehoko and Imatorbhebhe are my Chase Claypools.

Wow talk about moving up on boards.

R2 seems a little generous.

However, if he shows up at his pro-day at say ~185 lbs AND runs a sub 4.4, then he could rise into the 3rd or 4th round.

It’s a big ask, but not impossible.

PFF just showed your boy some love. Mocked him in the 2nd to the Ravens:

58. BALTIMORE RAVENS: WR JAELON DARDEN, NORTH TEXAS


Adding a dynamic slot receiver like Darden to this Baltimore offense would be dangerous. Darden finished the season as the fourth-highest-graded wide receiver in all of college football. The 5-foot-9, 174-pound wide receiver has been among the most elusive in the game, breaking an FBS-high 23 tackles and averaging 7.7 yards after the catch. Darden was clearly a threat on screens, but he was even more so on vertical routes with his deep speed. His receiving grade on such routes was the fourth-best in the FBS, and his 11 receiving touchdowns were two more than anyone else.

Small School Sammy drool alert. Look at starting 2:00 mark.

I like Zach Davidson as a 7th round pick or UDFA. He's in your 2nd link w/o video.

I love this kid.
He is the team’s punter as well with a 42+ yard net average.
Very athletic, willing but not great, extensive route tree, speed is a ?, and great hands.

Elerson is a top 100 prospect.

Staying within my fav college team (Maryland), whose games I watched, I like Jake Funk as a undrafted rookie. FWIW, on the other (defunct) board, I said the Bolts should grab Stephon Diggs with a late round pick
I think this is an apt draft profile: https://importantnonsense.com/import...sis-jake-funk/

He was the Maryland Gatorade Player of the Year his Sr year of HS. MD isn't known for it's football prowess in the country but past recent MD GPOY that hit the NFL were Dwayne Haskins and Kendall Fuller. Last year's MD GPOY was the #1 ranked overall recruit, now at Clemson, Bryan Bresee. Bryan and Jake went the same HS, which is a powerhouse outside DC and a perennial state champion.

Played against solid powerhouse college teams in the Big Ten. Check out youtubes of him. MD's Oline was not good, either. Also, has great hands out of the backfield.
Realistically, a practice squad or called up as a special teamer. But, could bloom into a few runs/game from the backfield.

Also a Simi Fehoko highlight vid. Finally.

Someone put a quality Elerson Smith highlight vid on YouTube couple days ago. Looks like he was playing about 25-30 lbs lighter than the 262 lbs at the Senior Bowl.

I was all over Diggs as a value pick. He showed me elite stop-start on tape. The red flag for the "coin toss incident" showed me nothing more than hyper competitiveness. Chase in this draft has similar traits.

Actually not a bad call. I remember Funk getting nasty against the Gophers last year. Went for 200+ yards. He’s got some spark in his step.
