I'll look for more and see if I can find more routes and hand catches. Otherwise he does look good but we won't have him just running deep all the time lol. Will he be there at 23?
Miamis's fool fans want them to draft another WR when they need OC, 2 Edge rushers, a DT and a CB. Just to make Tua look good
​​​Anyways Thomas is another option though I haven't been considering him yet. At 11 I've pretty much been on the Bowers train.

If you want a guy who can do it all day 1 at WR, just go get Odunze.

Fuaga and Fautanu are the best RTs. Latham is really slow, but he’s got long arms and they save him.

Of course Odunze is a better receiver than BTJ.
This is Odunze + Pipkins vs BTJ + Latham.
BTJ will be "allowed" to always be open lol because Herbert has play action, a running attack, and more time to throw.
We all know that running the ball is a key component to our balanced offense.
So the correct question is, again, how much bulk production will we really need from our receivers ?
Palmer (sidelines)
QJ (over the middle)
Hurst (underneath)
BTJ (deep)
as per the whispers Jeremy Fowler is hearing.Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

'25 round 6 and a ham sandwich to a team that has cap room and still needs a right tackle post draft, because they addressed other needs.
You may have heard there is an ongoing OL scarcity in the NFL.
Meanwhole, the Chargers get an upgrade and a rookie contract.Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Certainly. Pipkins is an experienced ORT with a palatable contract.

I don't think only Nabers allowed him to be open. I went and watched some games when you go to YouTube and type in player and then vs.....it brings up games just with his plays against that team.
Thomas didn't have a great game against Alabama, just 3 for 36 and Nabers had the big game in that one with 10 for 171.
I watched 3 . Alabama, Florida and Ol Miss. The other two were good, bigger games for him. He isn't a polished route runner. Doesn't have that plant your foot in the ground and cut type of route running, kind rounds them off but in SoFi that might get you a torn ACL lol.
He runs comebackers/ hitch routes well and they respect his speed so those work form him. Didn't see any press on him ..and crossers he is good at and has that YAC ability. The guy has speed, speed, speed. The quicks to get the ball and run by and away from you on short routes.
With good coaching i think he would be a real good one. This is the first long look at him for me. As I mentioned earlier I haven't really watched much of him as I wasn't thinking his area in the draft that he would be a consideration.
Then i found Steve Smith on YT, (and watched some others of his takes on WRs). Smith compared him to Aiyuk.
I don't think he will be there at 23 looking at the draft order so if they want him, they probably would have to take him at 11 or they can maybe move down a couple or few spots but that's taking a chance. If we don't take Bowers or if he is gone, I'd be good if we pick Thomas.

Latham is purely a Gap-Power ORT and that serves our purposes just fine.
The run on tackles will occur before, during or after the run on QBs and WRs.
Who knows ?Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
