I like checking out Steelers Depot each year around draft time b/c their guys do a great job of evaluating prospects. Attached are the links for Tindall and Ezukanma for those who haven't seen this yet. Looks like they thought highly of both!

Steeler's Depot does a great job on their evals. The success of both of these guys will come down to development. There's talent there, but they each have a bit to go. I personally think EE was a bit of a reach there. I thought there were some better options on the board when he was selected. But he has potential.

I think his versatility was something McD values, and played a part in the selection.

Out of curiosity, did you prefer other receivers, or a different position?

Different positions.

But it wasn't a huge reach by any means. I would have guessed a 5th round value on him.
 
I was sky high on Tindall, and moderately high on Ezzie.
Part of it was because of value and I was looking for players who'd slide out of the first two rounds, but also because i was looking for athletic players with room to grow...
I generally avoid players who i think are tapped out, as they tend to become nondescript and mediocre players, and both of these two have potential to be something special.
I honestly think that Tindall's ceiling is all-pro... more downs means better diagnostic skills, and we've all seen his on-field speed. Tindall should become our best Mike in a decade or longer.
I doubt that Ezukanma has that sort of ceiling, but I do think he can become what a healthy Parker would have been... a solid sideline threat who on his best days can be unstoppable.

Great analysis.
 
Ezu went in the 4th round as anticipated. This article said he has upside and is aggressive after the catch as well as when the ball is in the air.

Ezukanma seems like a mid-round pick off of buzz, but I would take him much earlier. He’s arguably a top-five WR for me in this class. In the NFL today, receivers don’t necessarily need to be elite route runners. A larger emphasis is being placed on coaches simply scheming playmakers open and getting them the ball. Ezukanma is electric with the ball in his hands and in the air. That voracity as a playmaker in all three ranges, combined with his elite physical makeup, grants him an astronomical ceiling.
 
Wonder how much Welker played into the Ezukanma pick. Rather would of had a lineman there maybe aft/NT depth but can’t ever have too many playmakers.
 
A Linebacker that can be a huge game changer on a defense that absolutely needs to succeed in 2022, and with his great speed, ability to go sideline to sideline, won't imbarrass himself in coverage, and very legit abity to have success when he Blitz. Could be a much better pro, then he was College player.

A big Receiver that can do most of the things Parker could except for speed, but once ball is in his hands, will give you extra yardage with great balance, and strong will to continue add as much yardage to the play as possible. A receiver that does not have to carry the load, but when number is called, will succeed, and the more he compliments the other receivers, the stronger the Offense will look.

Two very exciting player along with a few others in the draft, and after draft FA that could help Miami...At worse a little competition at positions that need a more competition. Very exciting time to be a Dolphins fan.

I don’t follow college but when I read about the LBs speed and athletic ability I got excited. We continue to get more athletic in the LB area and we need it. The WR intrigues me too. Was weird only really having 2 picks but I’m glad we didn’t give away picks next year. We had a massive FA season and didn’t lose any players, really. So the net gain here is arguably as good as last year w the 3 stud rookies.
