Ghost Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I know we have other needs than WR but Bateman might be the most underrated receiver in this draft. He might be available at 23. I doubt he will be there at 34. I’m so intrigued by this guy. He’s going to be a pro bowler in 2-3 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganggreen305 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 This guy is going to be a stud. I would love to get him at 23 as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-met57 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 You dont have to believe Simms, but here is his perspective on Bateman start at 1:15:50 i really trust his evaluation, so its a not for me dog 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS17 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I like Marshall more than Bateman. I’d say he has the second best chance to be an alpha receiver behind Chase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethead Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Would be very happy with Bateman, Marshall or E. Moore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untouchable Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Bateman seems like a Corey Davis clone so I don’t see the point. If we’re taking a wideout within the first 2 rounds then go get someone who can burn the piss out of you and add an element that we don’t currently have like Waddle or one of the Moore boys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK dont shoot the messenger Possibly. I love how smooth and fluid he is. He’s also not afraid to catch the ball in the middle. He has really good hands too. I simply like the idea of drafting a receiver and having him grow with Wilson! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I'd draft him at #2 overall, simply because Zach Wilson has a pimple dingus - and how could you pass up on the nickname thread? ??? ~~~ Rashod "Master" Bateman needs a nickname ~~~ ??? or Rashod " @dbatesman " 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrebetfan80 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Also would say in the Simms video, he is pretty spot on on Bateman. @Paradis Feel like this all sounds extremely familiar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll leave this here in my response. Simms is the first big name to drop the truth on him. I got nothing but glares back in feb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had Lamb #1 and Lamb is a stud, and had nobody throwing the ball to him all year. Lamb could easily be a top 5 WR in all of football this year. He had Jefferson second. I think those guys are a coin flip all day. Hamler over Judy...ok...i mean thats not by any means anything crazy. Neither guy stood out for me last year with no QB on the team. And finally...Mims? What has Mims done? 300+ yards with no TD’s? Lol ok. You can not trust his evaluations but he watches a lot of film and gives his VERY educated opinion without having the benefit of actually meeting any of these guys or seeing them work out. all this, not to mention that no one gets all of this right...but i rather him over the other wannabes online like Pauline, Matt Miller, Conor Rodgers, etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 An yet we have this: Rashod Bateman, Minnesota (6-foot-0½, 190, 4.45, Round 2): Named MVP of the Gophers’ 11-2 team in 2019 before playing five games without distinction in 2020 and then opting out of the final three games. “Tale of two seasons,” said one scout. “He was really good last year, but his film this year was awful. The kid kind of totally tanked it. Came into this season overweight and played out of shape.” Third-year junior with 33-inch arms. “This year they played him a lot more in the slot, and coming across the middle he didn’t look that confident,” said a second scout. “Last year he attacked it better. He’s a little leggy. He’s not that twitchy, but he can still get some separation. The speed was the biggest issue with him, but he showed enough. His pro day was pretty damn good. If he can go into a place where he isn’t the guy, that would be perfect for him. He could grow into one.” An exceptional basketball player, Bateman turned down chances to play for major-college programs out of high school in Tifton, Ga. “He’s got a high drop rate,” said a third scout. “He’s not going to catch across the middle. He’s a man-beater underneath. You don’t see the top receiver traits in this guy.” Finished with 147 receptions for 2,395 yards(16.3 average) and 19 touchdowns.

Beerfish Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 We SHOULD have picked the other Minnesota Wr last year. Tyler Johnson taken by Tampa in the 5th round. Douglas really blew it badly missing out on a LOT of good Wr later last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leftylarry Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The big ten blew it so badly with their Covid protocols, first cancelling the entire season, then making it very hard to function when they brought it back that you just have to throw away the entire year. Bateman was pretty much UN- guardable the year before , athletic, fast, great acrobatic catches, often a man amongst boys, I don’t see him failing in the NFL and I personally think he will be there at #23 if you like him. Fleck is pretty much a clown as an HC, with his “row the boat stuff” and his sprinting down the sidelines act but he is very good at developing WRs , Tyler Johnson, of course played for him the year before and Corey Davis also when both were at Western Michigan.

Leftylarry Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Is there a huge difference between being selected at #29 or # 36, I don’t think so. Not putting him in JA’mar Chase type territory but yes he does have some skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
