  5. Cool, it’s like they didn’t learn from N’Keal.
    Slow as mf’er who can’t separate.
    Great at the jump ball… WHO FUCKING CARES! GET SOMEONE WHO CAN SEPARATE!

  6. Polk is sleeper receiver who went under the radar because of teammate Rome Odunze, but NFL sources really like Polk as a potential value pick. In 2023, Polk totaled 73 receptions for 1,191 yards and 10 touchdowns. He has quality size, speed and route-running. Polk would have been a No. 1 receiver at most schools. Via walterfootball.com

  8. Why we cant do normal things? Always outsmating like we know how to pick offense

  11. With Mitchell, suamataia and even those two first round corners I really don’t like this pick. Don’t think he has the potential as some of the receivers that are probably ahead of him especially Mitchell.

  15. Half the comments in this thread say he can’t separate and half say that’s his specialty. Gonna be a fun summer

  18. Literally all the profiles scream pretty good, nothing too special receiver. Good locker room presence, good leader. Idk felt like maybe try your luck and see if he falls to round three or maybe move up a few spots to the end of the second to get him. Maybe they had intel that told them otherwise but I don’t hate this pick just one of the more “yeah.. okay” picks. Glad it wasn’t some massive reach at a position we are set at at least.

  19. I like him. I think he’s going to be a solid WR2, but I think they took him too early. I would have rather seen them take Suamataia or trade back further to take Polk. I think they could have traded back into the 45-55 range and landed Polk.

    With that said there were some rumblings in the days leading up to the draft about Polk maybe slipping into the first round. Every team’s rankings are different, but Polk was firmly considered a 2nd rounder by every analyst I follow, and he’s the type of receiver we need.

    Taking him at 37 feels like a slight reach but it’s not egregious. I’m not a fan of Adonai Mitchell but I would have preferred Franklin or Suamataia personally.

  22. I hope im wrong, but he is slow as fuck. One thing is playing big at college, another thing is doing that in nfl.
    Im getting harry vibes

  24. I don’t like his rep as a “contested catch specialist” or his speed (4.52/40) and I thought you could get him a round or two later. But I can’t argue with 1, 159 yards.

  26. He’s gonna be a good pro, plays tough as hell! Wish we hung tight and took Ladd but this is solid. League was much higher on him than the public.

  27. Meh not a fan. Really didn’t like any of the WRs at this spot and an OT or a CB/S may have been a better pick based on the value.

  28. Lion mentality, leader in that stacked offense, top rated contested catch receiver. Nkeal but if he panned out, if he pans out. Adonai has character issues apparently

  31. It’s not the sexiest pick but he seems to be at the level of most of the other receivers in this area more or less. I get Mitchell is the flashy pick, but he seems to have turned off many teams. I’ll give this regime a chance to prove our ghosts of drafted receivers are over at the very least.

  32. Honestly his stats seem solid for his senior year. He became a starter his senior year and he improved. With someone who knows him coaching him on the team, I think his potential could continue to grow.

    However, it is the NFL so we don’t really know.

  33. It’ll be a great WR4 battle between him and Douglas, for the right to be behind whoever we pick next year, Osborne and Bourne.

  34. If they wanted a big bodied slow guy who can’t separate and allegedly has expertise at getting 50-50 balls, Why not just bring back N’Keal Harry?

  36. Fantastic hands and ball awareness. Rarely drops a ball. Physical presence. Big and a bit slow.

  37. As a UW alum I’ve watched him play closely for 2 years. He’s solid and this should be a good pick with a lot of upside but keep the uneducated, I read a comment somewhere, negative comments coming because you’re a Madden GM genius.

  40. Demario and Polk are going to be terrific complimentary receivers to whichever #1 they eventually bring in in 2025. At pick 58 right now and I’m really hoping Theo Johnson falls ten more spots. 

  44. Washington Husky fan here. Watched all his games. You will be thrilled with Polk. He’s like a chameleon at WR and can adapt to most positions and routes. He was only a WR2/3 at UW because we had Odunze and McMillan who prior to injury was the guy. Polk is a stud.
