I get the kid wants to make his money. But how much does a 5th round pick actually make?
Yeah, he won't be the only target next year, but if he starts catching with his hands and drops fewer balls, I don't see how that doesn't help his draft profile. There might be a few GM's that look primarily at stats, but most NFL teams are pretty astute when it comes to understanding a player's skill set. Dillon's size and speed has him as a possession receiver in the NFL. How can you be a good possession receiver if you drop 30% of the passes thrown your way? If you're 6'4" and have 4.4 speed, you can drop a shit ton of passes and still get paid. Not when you're 6'1" and closer to 4.55 speed.
Fifth round pick is probably $200,000 to $300,000 worth of guaranteed money. If he makes a roster for a year, add another $600,000 to $700,000 to it. Not world beater money. But for a 21-year-old kid, it's more money than he's ever had plus he doesn't have to have to play school and can devote his every waking hour to football.
And I think yore underestimating what Mitchell's skill set is. In the Warshington game this third and six...

That is was not a pick play. Maybe brush up a little.
