4.01 WR Dez Fitzpatrick, TEN

[Royal Hawaiian Opihi]

How 'bout a little FITZMAGIC 2.0 for the Opihi?!?
This 4-year starter at Louisville started his collegiate career catching passes from Lamar Jackson. He finished his career by being named the offensive MVP at the Senior Bowl. The Titans, after losing Corey Davis to the J-E-T-S in the offseason, traded up to get Dez in the 4th round.

Some have said that they "reached" to get him, as he could have been available. But Tennessee saw something in him that made them TRADE AWAY THREE PICKS (& trade up 17 spots) to get him.

He could be the #3WR as a rookie, with decent playing time. And if newly acquired Josh Reynolds doesn't live up to expectations, could move into the #2 roll sooner than later.

He's gotta work on his route running.
He may be nothing more than a decent fantasy fill-in.
Then again... 2-3 years down the road, he could be much more.
Time will tell. We've got a spot on our PS for you, Dez!
Welcome to the OPIHI!

I've had Dez and Seth in my sights all the way back to the end of the 2nd. I like Darby's prospects best and thus took him at 3,5. Since the Darby pick, I've gone back and forth on Seth Williams and Dez Fitzpatrick. Debated whether I wanted to reach for the higher ceiling player (Seth) that also came with the higher bust potential, or the one with a better opportunity, but likely lower ceiling and far lower bust potential. I landed on the talent with the high risk, but Dez very well may end up with a far better NFL career if Seth doesn't commit. Good luck Jim. I came THIS close to taking Dez at 3.17!
