Oh boy, hope I didn’t lol.

Coutee is a guy I think can go in Rd 3 or 4 in the draft. He’s got a lot of upside..there’s a lot to like. If he learns how to run routes well he will be a very dynamic slot receiver.

Loved your pick. Coutee is someone I had right behind Burnett for the slot spot. Very deceptive and hard to bring down due to his explosion and low pads level. If I had more day 3 picks or I wasn't as thin at ILB behind Wagner-Wright, that could've been my pick.
Definitely a steal at this point.

@Italian Raven great pick. I love those hybrid safety-LB player.

Appreciate it. There's some specific plays like the probably most known against Bama where he's covering the RB running a wheel route with great timing, angle and speed.
He covers a lot of ground and has a very high football IQ (you'll notice he's always makes the teammates aware of which direction the O is about to run the ball). His biggest issue is his tackling which is pretty inconsistent (at times too high) and his ability to shread blocks has to improve as well but I find it to be a great value here, as he'd train and learn from the best cover LBs in the league, while playing mainly ST (aka improving exaclty tackling and disengaging from blocks).
 
It was tough not to notice Ferguson when watching Miller, and I'm pleased to have reunited the duo. That UCLA game especially caught my eye. Ferguson was by no means the highest rated prospect left on my board, but he has some really intriguing positive traits and I see him at least being a viable back up. He also provides me with a more conventional attempt at a post-Brees future.

Same here. He did play in a favorable scheme with one of the more effective screen games out there, tons of single-read RPOs, but I thought he displayed a sound base, impressive touch, a quick release and the ability to scan the field. Now it should obviously be noted that his tape has its inconsistencies and he's had late starts in multiple games, so his floor is difficult to determine, which is worrisome. Same goes for his slight build. But at this point in the draft, I felt comfortable enough with any attached risks. I am concerned with the Steelers OC showing up at their Pro Day and singling him out by stating, "A day with Riley and get a chance to visit with the wide receiver and any other player they got there..." I'd prefer to see him elsewhere.

he also doesnt have many starts - all those things make me more confident taking him this late in the draft because he's shown traits that lead me to believe he has tools to succeed if he develops well - there's nothing on tape that shows me severe limitations just lack of evidence of strengths in those areas - he has inconsistencies but no obvious glaring weaknesses just a huge number of unknowns

id rather take a late flier on someone like that than an average-armed, guy with a higher floor but some obvious limitation to his game whose ceiling is borderline backup level (because in round 6 that's the level of qb play you'd expect to get from a prospect)
