Yep, gonna be tough with Fields as your QB

 

[Grudenator]

So proud of them!

 

[Wezel]

Congratulations to Jones but was really hoping the Packers would draft him

Congratulations to Jones!

Hope Butler, Theo, and Cade hear their names called tomorrow.

Good for HIM! FANTASTIC "Senior Year" & GREAT Combine PAID OFF!!!

 

[Volfan1000]

Awesome.

Was really hoping Velus would have been there two spots later for the Colts.

Would have a much better career start with a seasoned QB like Ryan than Justin 'me first' Fields. Also the Colts new WR coach is none other than Reggie Wayne. Lastly, strong talk that TY Hilton comes back for a swan song.

The treasure trove of knowledge and experience would have given Velus an incredible start... hopefully it still works out and Velus has a long and fruitful career.

Actually thought he would go in 2nd round since he is also a good return man. Guess that doesn't carry much weight in pros.

WR market is crazy in the NFL right now. Teams are loading up.

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Yes!! I’m a Bears fan. Been years since we’ve had a Vol. Kick butt Velus!!

 

[mpfvol]

Glad he got draft but I was hoping it would have been to a decent team. Wish the Titans would have taken him or Packers or Bucs

Interesting pick for a team that did a great job developing CP. The 2 players are more similar than some might think. Will they try to use him in a role Akin to how CP are Deebo Samuel get used as a hybrid wr/rb?

Definitely! Speaking of Vol receivers, in the league, I'm hoping Marquez Callaway comes home and signs a contract with the Titans after this season.

Also, congrats to Alontae Taylor with the big splash 2nd round pick to the Saints.

I’d be fine with Quez (my son’s favorite VFL) on the Titans, but would prefer he ends up on our team, the falcons, anything but the Aints though!

Well the Saints have loved them some Vols in the recent past.

 

[VOLtaism]

Thats a steal. This kid will be in the NFL for a long time.

Maybe Velus can whip up some Willie Gault magic in the windy city.

He went a little higher than I expected but Da Bears just got them a helluva playmaker.

How you doin' Double D? Hope all is well with you.

Kid made a lot by being in Heupel’s offense.

It'll be interesting to see where Javonte ends up as a UDFA. I think Velus has more immediate impact possibility because of his special teams value. But, I think if Javonte goes the the right team he can stick around as a pure WR2
