Am I the only one intrigued with this guy and hope he is our 4th round pick?!?

Elite size: 6'5 219

Elite speed: 4.3 - 4.4

Streeter averaged almost 18 ypc! Almost 900 yards on just 46 catches. 8 touchdowns.

I see a HUGE playmaker that will really stretch the field and provide a great red-zone threat.

Which is why I hate the idea of passing on Curry / Jenkins / Still in the 2nd for a WR. We can get both a good DL and a good WR. This will absolutely no good DL in the 4th.

the one idea I have to support late round recievers is that I think Cam will be so good he will make the WRs better than they are. Like Peyton manning did. Or look at The Golden Calf of Bristol, even though he was too daft to read a defense he could eventually scramble around until a guy got open, didn't really matter what route he ran. Cam can bring both of those aspects to the game, so we don't need a super beastly reciever.

Also we have Chud and he can develop a TE very well. I want a late round TE too.

As a Hurricanes fan, i welcome any 305 guys to the team. Streeter would be a great asset, but it depends on when you get him. I wouldn't take him in the 2nd or 3rd.

He is pretty raw and doesn't always use his hands to catch the ball. With that said, I'd love to take him in the 4th.

Yeah I'm a hurricanes fan as well and I'm always open to bring in our guys if they can put the work in to be great pro's like Beason and Olsen. Streeter could be the best receiver from this class, all the potential is there.

This. Honestly I doubt he makes it to our pick in the 4th.

That kind of size and speed is so rare.

If he had slightly better hands he would be a 1st round pick without question.

The upside on this kid is unreal.

Yea i agree he has all the talent in the world, i just wonder why it took him so long to get on the field at the U. From what i hear his work ethic didn't kick in until late in his career and he did something to get himself into Randy's dog house. Others say Randy just had it out for him and didn't give him a chance. Who knows? I would like to see him end up on this team tho.

LaFell fixed his dropsies... maybe he can give him some pointers!

Reminds me of a Plaxico/David Boston kind of receiver. Could be a huge red zone threat for Cam and in most of those vids, he was wide open by several steps on defenders. He's raw, but like you say, that size/speed/pedigree at the U combo will have lots of front offices drooling. I'd be happy with him in the 4th or if we trade into the last part of the 3rd and agree that Cam (like Peyton, Brees, Rodgers) can make Streeter a viable force at WR.

True.

But Streeter is a diff kind of WR. He is a big play field stretcher. Not a possession WR.

You line up man on Streeter with no S help and your in trouble!

Who's going to ignore a 6'5 wide reciever with 4.3 speed all the way until the 4th?

I would love to have him, but there is just no way.

He is projected in the 4th - 5th

I wouldnt be opposed to trading to get into the late 3rd to get him

Learning to catch the damn ball is learning to catch the damn ball. I don't want LaFell teaching him how to run... I want him teaching him how to CATCH!

Now if Streeter wants to return the favor and teach LaFell some speed.... well 1st that'd be great and 2nd you better put Streeter in charge of speed training for everyone!

Look at LaFell. He had the dropsies BAD when he first started out here. Now, with Smitty grooming him, he has evolved into a clutch receiver.

The same could be done with Streeter.

The thing is you dont need Streeter to be a possession WR with great hands. With his big play making ability it more than compensates for 1 - 2 drops a game.

Perfect example is the UM vs. UVA game. Starts out the game with an easy drop, only to make big play after big play.
