Picked Jahan Dotson from Penn St. Smaller WR with good speed.

McGinn's take:

Started 38 of 42 games in a four-year career. “I’d rather have Dotson at the top of the second than Olave or Wilson (near) the top of the first,” said one scout. “He’s a very similar player.” Finished with 183 receptions for 2,757 (15.1) and 25 TDs. “Really good NFL deep speed,” said a second scout. “Good eye focus. Makes over-the-shoulder catches. Can get off the jam even lining up on the line of scrimmage as an X. Has some shake and acceleration inside and has the quickness to avoid the jam outside.” Solid punt returner with a 13.5 average in the last two seasons. “He’s better than KJ Hamler,” said a third scout. “Plays smart and aware. Instinctive, diminutive playmaker. He’s just small.” Wonderlic of 14. “Just a guy,” a fourth scout said. “I don’t see what people are making of him. He’s just OK. They scheme him open. Average size, average athlete. Does everything kind of average.” From Nazareth, Pa.

Brugler's take:

A three-year starter at Penn State, Dotson lined up across the formation in offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich’s offense. He became the fourth player in school history to reach 1,000 receiving yards in a season and finished his career second in school history in catches (183) and touchdown grabs (25) and fourth in receiving yards (2,757). A polished pass catcher, Dotson puts defenders in conflict with his twitchy speed to defeat press and manipulate coverages at the stem. Although he is undersized, he has above-average hands and natural body control with maybe the largest catch radius of any sub-5-foot-11 receiver I have ever scouted. Overall, Dotson isn’t a tackle-breaker, and his marginal play strength will be more noticeable vs. NFL defenders, but his dynamic speed, route instincts and ball skills make him a difficult player to cover one-on-one. He is an NFL starter in the Diontae Johnson mold with better hands and punt-return skills.

I'm not seeing Dallas drafting a smallish receiver....hasn't been their MO or McCarthy's.

Dallas
2017 Rd 4 Ryan Switzer
2011 Rd 6 Dwayne Harris
2006 Rd 4 Skyler Green
2004 Rd 6 Patrick Crayton
2003 Rd 6 Zuriel Smith

So going back to 2000, they have never picked a smaller WR before the 4th round.

He's a playmaker, runs great routes, he's football IQ is high and he has great hands.
He's not my choice but he has a chance to be a good pick at the end of the first round.

In Green Bay, Cobb is the only smallish receiver the Packers drafted under McCarthy. So no, showing one player out of 13 drafts doesn't show a trend, and obviously Dallas never took one before the 4th round.

He's so small, I don't know about the projection.

But he compared to DeSean Jackson. I'd 100% take that player at 24. That dude killed us, always

Jeremiah is not a big fan of Green. Dallas won’t pick Dotson but the guy is a good receiver with break away speed.

Seriously, you want to keep arguing it? McCarthy as the head coach would surely be a part of the process. As a head coach he would tell what types of traits he wants and then the scouts and GM would go to work. It is pretty obvious that they prefer bigger receivers.

Not apart of the process at all, his job was to just coach the players, he even said it this yr, first time he really was on the road evaluating prospects.

Hate the pick. If we are dead set on going WR in the draft— there are better WRs worth trading up for IMO.
