A couple of interesting nuggets from Mel on the WRs

[Risen Star]

Two things that stood out to me listening to the Notorious M.E.L.

And this isn't just his evalutions but what he's hearing around the league. Field Yates confirmed he's hearing the same things too.

The videos are linked at the spot for you.

1) Top 10 is a little too rich for Tetairoa McMillan. His range starts with the Cowboys at 12.

2) Luther Burden III is an early to mid 2nd round projection around the league right now.

We’ll see where Burden is ultimately drafted, but I would 100% concur if these rumblings are true.

I've been saying this group of WRs aren't like last year, and ppl are pushing them up the board because they're WRs, no sir.

The 2nd tier WRs may be more productive then the 1st imho. Don't jump the gun, fix the other needs, a solid WR could there in the 3rd or 4th round.

Tet should be too rich for 12 also.

Never understood how people had Burden as a top 10-12 player.

This is fantastic news for the Cowboys! He is a legitimate no 1 wr

I think Tet is the equal of Drake London as a prospect. Generally speaking, this is a weak class of wideouts though.

Yeah, Tet at 12 is more acceptable than Burden. Cowboys could use a big target. I think Tet is a little faster, and Drake is a little more physical.

Graham
Carter
Tet
Green

Tet might be the only one that falls to us. Maybe Green.

Would have no problem with Tet at all. Think he would be great here. He reminds me some of Mike Evans. People used to fawn over Johnny Football but he was just playing school yard football at his position and Evans was the one that caught all of his misplaced passes imo.
I think Tet did the best he could do with his buddy at QB but he made that QB look better than he was in the passing dept.

Tet is a good fit for Dallas.

I'm confident that Tet and Burden will go early, because this draft class is so bad and because the league is so hungry for WRs. But neither one's anything special.

Tet is a big possession WR in the Michael Pittman mold, with a high floor and a low ceiling. In a normal class, he probably goes in the teens.

Burden's a gadget guy with the potential to be more, but he has a Curtis Samuel-ish floor (31/253/1 this season with an MVP quarterback). Early 2nd seems to be where those Samuel, Rondale Moore, Laviska Shenault gadget types end up in most years.

I'm not sure that Egbuka won't be the best WR in this class. He's a similar type of high-floor possession WR as Tet. I'd bet on Tet's size and stickum hands ahead of Egbuka, but I think the gap between them is smaller than most draftniks are treating it.
