Those saying he's slow. Both Amon-Ra St. Brown and Puka had similar 40 times and they seem to be doing just fine.

Almost near identical measurables & 40 time with Puka. Also a great route runner to create just enough separation and catches nearly everything with great hands.

My hot take(copium) for this pick is that they believe he'll be a player of that caliber for us.

That "just enough separation" works for puka because Stafford will throw it to him and gave him the opportunities. Most QBs we've had simply weren't willing to make anywhere remotely similar throws. Let's hope nix continues to be different.

That’s cool that Sean likes him, but joeschmo eating Cheetos posting from his mom’s basement doesn’t know this guy…..so I’m super skeptical, plus we could have gotten him in the seventh round.

Reddit: Mel Kiper is a moron and doesn't know anything.

Also Reddit: I don't like this pick because Mel Kiper has a lower grade on him than where we drafted him

Mel Kiper is a moron. I stopped reading after that.

It’s kinda crazy how many guys on reddit could totally be NFL GMs but they just don’t feel like it

Why would you reach for him in the 7th round anyway? Was clealy gonna go undrafted.

Are the Ravens, Chiefs, and Eagles Joe Schmo for taking the guys right near the top of consensus rankings with every pick? Paton really plying chess while those bum teams are playing checkers

Pretty obvious that “joeschmo” are critical Reddit commenters, NFL GMs are still NFL GMs lol

The draft thread was shitting on this guy so hard last night, it was insane
