    He’s nothing like them imo, maybe Coop because of route running.
    The dude is quick, more AB like than anything

    Yeah that's not a comparison I made, just what I seen a couple analyst tweet. If he can run routes like the two AND have the quickness, I'm not sure why he wouldn't be considered a first rounder.

    What's his size?

    His top end speed and size are only average.
    6’ 190 and 4.5 speed. If he shows 4.4 top end he’ll be a for sure 2nd rounder. Lot of depth at WR

    We’ve seen what cat quick, precise route runners without elite top end speed can do with CJ
    Tank is a perfect example

    Pearsall would be the guy I would compare to Puka or Cooper.

    John Harris is saying McConkey might run 4.3, I don’t see it.

    Pick 23 - Houston Texans (via CLE) - Nate Wiggins, CB Clemson

    There's a strong case for using this selection to upgrade the talent around C.J. Stroud on offense, but the Texans also have some pressing defensive needs to consider. CB Steven Nelson is a free agent-to-be. Wiggins would give Houston a long, athletically gifted complement to Derek Stingley Jr.

    I
    I don’t know dude, not really.

    Comps are like Tyler Lockett but less physical. He’s very hard to stop if he isn’t jammed up early. Great prospect for the second round, just doesn’t have the upside of some others but will be a decent player for a long time in the league.

    - exceptional shifty-ness
    - route-running ability
    - reliable hands
    - very good agility
    - gain significant yards after catch,

    Again though, with the one on one’s do not take a ton into consideration, as CBs have more angles and whatnot to close. But at the same time, if a WR has poor performances in 1 v 1’s (eg. Leggette) then yes it’s a concern.

    Mills could walk next season.
    Keenum your new qbs coach.
    Going to be in the market for back up and back up backup qbs soon.

    Only a diverse city like Houston can handle this hair. Just don't ask how the game went.

    Hartman would be a great back up

    He's already mastered the Charlie Whitehurst look; just needs to grow the hair longer and take some photos lounging on a boat.

    But I guess he hasn't collected 7 years of NFL checks yet.

    No O-line or D-line help makes no sense

    I would rather have Rattler as a backup. This could be a great year to find a young guy mid draft and develop him.

    I’d rather have a player similar to CJ.
    Hartman and Pratt would be better backups. Similar styles

    Rather not waste a damn pick this year on a backup. A lot other areas to improve on than waste a pick.
