When I watch him, I see slower, not as good Romeo Doubs. And I expected more, especially given the competition. Tillman has a couple of things going for him. He is legit 6'3, his father played in the NFL, and he put up huge games against the best competition. He was injured as a senior, but put up 150 against Alabama, and 200 against Georgia, as a junior. It is mostly personal preference. I also see more of a role for Tillman as kind of a mix of Allen Lazard and Geronimo Allison (who I also was high on); whereas, again, I think Rice is a lot like Doubs, just not as good. I wouldn't break my TV or anything if the Packers preferred Rice. I think both have the chance to be decent role players. [edit] I prefer AT Perry over both of them. I think he is supposed to go in that range too. Edited April 20, 2023 by ThatJerkDave 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is supposed to go in that range too. Thanks for the reply. regarding Rice... I am not concerned with the smaller than reported size profile. I agree he is not a burner, but I do see enough suddenness to separate and he does have some pretty solid explosion numbers that suggest he has that ability in his physical profile. I think his college production is as good or better than Tillman. you can knock the competition but then Tillman was playing opposite another NFL level WR and with a QB that (prior to injury) might have been a first round pick... still might be. GB tends to like WR that have early college success and production and I have Rice getting an edge there over Tillman. I see Rice as a better natural hands catcher from the clips that I watched 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like he was good when having a free release, but nothing special when the CB was playing more press/rolled up coverage. the HWS seems ok but nothing that really stands out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no world where Luke is a better prospect. I wanted to like Mayer but after watching him I wouldn't take him until the late third. Great route running. Good hands. But he's limited athletically. He looks like an Austin Hooper or a Hayden Hurst. I wouldn't use an early pick on that. Schoonmaker is a natural pass catcher and route runner. Tracks the ball well in the air. His athleticism is obvious. I'd take a shot at his upside before I'd go for Mayer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never going to live up to what is expected of him if you grab him in the top 20. I'm a Sam LaPorta guy from TE U in late 2 to early 3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything he catches is close to his chest, i'm not seeing him regularly reaching out to snag the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in what was supposed to be a good football movie, didn't the celebrated GM pass on the franchise QB in favor of an ILB and a RB??? Sounds like a horrible draft in the first. Consumers of fiction need to have a handshake agreement with the author that their willingness to suspend disbelief won’t be abused. Draft Day had all the makings of a sports movie honorable mention. But the draft pick negotiations defied reason, tradition, common sense, gravity, physics, and Sun Tzu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
