Looks like a good developmental WR. Someone posted this in chat earlier, but his struggles seem to mirror those of Gentry from last year - has a hard time breaking off from physical corners. He's got a lot of potential though - lot of upside - and he might be able to work his way up from the bottom with the right coaching. Nagy and co. saw something workable with the dude - might as well get him and see what happens. They liked him enough to draft him rather than work the waiver wire with the rest of the UDFAs.

The 7th rd guy looks the part and played good teams in college. Don't hate the pick and looking forward to next round of undrafted adds. Nagey hype is real and we should have a shot at signing players other teams offer on.
Overall I am quite a fan of this draft. Got our starting ILB. Got a potential day 1 starter at OG/C. Got a potential starter at the slot. 3 potential starters in the first two rounds is good enough for me, all which filled out a postion we needed an upgrade on.
Day 3 - well cant say much about these guy, since I know nothing about 'em, but happy we got a Dline player to boost the Dline depth.
Nope. Big tall drink of water 6'4" WR out of.....you guessed it, Georgia. We had to have a least one WTF pick and this is it.
Here's got a "doo" like Buckwheat from the old Our Gang serials.
It's not like 7 rounders usually have big upsides but I don't quite get this pick. Could've used another OLB, DL or DB, hell even a QB would've been nice.
Not to mention that I was told Nagy likes small and fast WRs, why pick a big one?

Nagy doesnt care about size. He does like fast wr's with crisp routes, even mentioned it in the draft presser, but kc did have some size on their depth chart, never got a ton of looks though. And this guy isn't exactly slow, ran in the 4.5's as a 6'4", real question is how do his routes look, b/c that seems the thing Nagy wants. He might just be a hopefull backup for AR if he gets injured, as an additional redzone target.
I really like the Wims pick a lot. Go back and watch him in the Oklahoma game.
I posted a thread with a PFF Analysis of him and they feel he's a great fit for the Bears as a guy like AJ who can win jump balls downfield. Not extremely fast and at 4.5 not slow either but his game is using his size and physicality to win deep. High value pick this late.
