    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...

    Only oregon receiver worth a damn

    If someone doesn't emerge, along with a TE that Herbert trusts, his season will look a lot like this season, only worse.

    If Schooler is on the field, you'll know.

    Somebody on educk posted that with Mitchell, Oregon would be at the level of the 91 huskies next year.

    I saw that. How does keeping Mitchell make our O line and defense anything close to the 91 Huskies? Such a bizarre, nonsensical comparison.

    Clearly, with Mitchell, Oregon would be on par with the 2000-01 Miami Hurricanes, duh!
    That's funny. But I agree, just like the 2000 - 01 Hurricanes, less about 30 pro bowls and 2 or 3 HOFamers. But I get where you're going.

    He needed a pick to get open on that play but he is a good player with NFL talent. Glad he's gone. Oregon's WR corps is trash without him. Hope Dye is next.

    "your" an idiot but yes, our WR corps is "trash" without him or perhaps "the worst WR corps of my lifetime"* even with him, considering he had a 35-yd pass hit him in the forehead and another, after laying out in textbook fashion, bouncing off his hands, off his chest, back off his hands, back off his chest, and eventually on the ground for what would have been a game winning touchdown.....in the first half
