did you see what he did for an extended stretch and on into the playoffs....it wasn't like he had just one good game or something....I get the whole "there is a reason" thing sometimes, but just not sure it applies here with Williams....maybe "there is a reason" they waited until the 6th round to add depth to the position....

I was actually thinking White may be the sneaky NE "receiver" to own.
Some people are down on White because they drafted Harris, but I see Harris as much more of a threat to cut into the Michel/Burkhead carries than the White receptions. IMO Brady just trusts White and he also just lost his security blanket in Gronk.
I don't think a lot of folks realize White 87/751/7 counting just his receptions and ignoring his rushing. Edelman went for 74/850/6. With Harry around to take the top off the defense in a similar way Cooks did and no Gronk in the middle of the field it wouldn't really surprise me to see a bump to both White and Edelman this season.
I'm with these two guys. I don't see how Pettis' stock was greatly hurt in the draft. The 49ers traded up to grab him at 2.12 last year and he performed better than many expected once he got his chance (with a backup QB no less). So now they add guys with 2.04 and 3.03. The odds of each of those guys panning out in the NFL are lower than Pettis who has already shown NFL ability. And FWIW, Pettis and Deebo are the same age.

Winner: Joe Mixon
Bengals drafted an OT in the 1st round, a TE in the 2nd round who's a better blocker than receiver, and an OG in the mid rounds that wasn't an elite prospect but was the first offensive lineman to start at Ohio St as a true freshmen since Orlando Pace.

Winner : Devin Funchess
Everyone has been calling him a fantasy loser after the draft of Campbell. I see it the other way. I envision the target share to be Hilton 1, Ebron/Funchess 2 and 3, Campbell and RBs 4 and 5. If Campbell ascends to WR1 status, it will come at Hilton's expense. And next year. I think the rookie will have a role and likely make the whole squad better. And I understand Funchess is on a one-year deal, but I think he has modest value this year. WR2/3 with upside. If he does achieve that, then he would seem a good candidate to resign. He is still quite young. I just don't think this draft hurt him at all. If they had drafted one of the bigger WRs, then yeah.

Not one mention of ADP? He didn’t sign that deal so he can be a backup. He/they think he still has a shot at Emmitt’s crown.
With the Redskins offensive line and more importantly, their OL coach makes it an outside possibility.

Agreed that he could be the guy this year. Or at least in September. But he needs ~5000 yards to pass Emmitt.

I agree with most of this.
While Funchess did have a very slight ding, my big takeaway was Hilton(turns 30 during the season) took a big hit in my dynasty rankings. Funchess longevity in the offense is probably more tied to Ebron repeating his 13TD's than the development of Cambell.
The Colts aren't hurting for money right now but Hilton will make $15mil this year. He's scheduled to make $14.5+mil next season and if IND chose to release him they save all $14.5mil. It would seem to me Hilton would either need to play like an All-Pro to earn that 2020 contract and/or IND needs to come very, very close to making the SB so they are willing to spend the $ to keep the band together. There is a very real chance Hilton is playing elsewhere in 2020 and I don't hear many people discussing that.
I think people aren't discussing it, because its not very likely. It would take a very unique set of circumstances for that scenario to play out. Hilton is arguably the 2nd best player on the Colts roster. He's coming off arguably the best season of his career, and the Colts have an excellent cap situation. The only scenario I could see Hilton not being a Colt in 2020, is if he suffers a major injury, and is not missed while he is out. That would require either Funchess or Campbell to likely be a top-15 WR, and that feels like asking a ton even in this offense.
I think people don't talk enough about how good Hilton is. He's been a top-15 WR for most of his career, and his numbers have proven that whenever Luck has been on the field, and he's still had several big games without Luck.
Maybe a 10% chance, that Campbell is ever as good as Hilton. He's not a threat to his job at all in my opinion, simply another addition to a pass catcher group that was needing Dontrelle Inman for a massive role down the stretch. We didn't downgrade Julio Jones because Calvin Ridley was drafted, at least I didn't, and this feels similar.
