    Dude, you're way off base. Concepcion had 440 yards after contact in 2025. Is it elite? No. Is it solid? Hell yeah. Even if I concede that he's not a home run threat, he not only returned two TDs to the house, but he also took a 48 yard screen pass to the house against a stout Mizzou defense. He also had a 45 yarder and a 34 yarder, both largely running after the catch. So you can take that however you want. 

    Keenan Allen's career YAC average is basically half (and I'm being generous) of what Concepcion put up last year. Come on, man. They are entirely different receivers.

    Sure, he had some legit concentration drops, but it's like some analysts have said, a lot of times drops are overrated. Moreover, it's not like Concepcion is a finished product. 

    I mean, it's easy to say most mocks have him outside the first round without realistically being able to look at all the mocks. I've seen him in the top 30 on big boards, so you take that as you will.

    Yards after contact can measured if a guy juke a defender and said defender lays a hand on the offensive player., so that doesn’t mean he’s running through a ton of tackles.

     

    You do know Allen had a bunch of YAC at Cal also right? It’s about projecting and Concepcion doesn’t look to project as a YAC guy in the NFL.

    This WR class isn’t even that good and he’s not projected in the first round, that doesn’t scream first round talent

    Dude, a lot if not most receivers don't break tackles. What are you talking about? Some of the most dynamic receivers in the game are elusive as hell and don't break a thing. We're not discussing a running back, we're discussing a receiver. The litmus test for a first round receiver are things like whether they are a legitimate playmaker, are a threat to take it to the house on any given play, can get yards in chunks, and can have a marked impact upon the game more Sundays than not. Concepcion runs good routes, and wins at all three levels of the field, not to mention is a legitimate returner. Only wins one way? Come on, man. That's ludicrous within the context that you're trying to imagine.

    In my first post I already mentioned all those other things he’s not good at. He’s not a home run threat and he’s not gonna size up any DB like TMac, he also doesn’t have great hands. Then add to fact he’s not really a YAC break tackles DJ Moore type of WR. At best he’s Keenan Allen type, but that’s shooting for the stars.

     

    The majority of mocks have him outside the first round

    Of course. Why would any receiver who has the ability not be elusive and avoid the tackle?

    You're trying to make it seem like he's some week receiver that gets touched by an arm and goes down and struggles to make contested catches, but that's simply not the case. Is he more elusive than strong? Of course. But the fact is that most receivers aren't going to have a bunch of highlights breaking tackles. Steve Smith is not the norm, but even Concepcion has a few highlights, including where he wouldn't go down and basically dragged a defender in the end zone.

    Thats my whole argument, he’s not the type to break all tackles. He has one way to win and that’s being elusive and quick and I don’t believe that worth a first round pick

    I mean, I don't know what you're seeing or reading, but I've heard (not read) several analysts say that Concepcion plays stronger than his size. Like I said, you've got it twisted apparently. Keep in mind that these are only a few. The dude is as tough as nails from what I've been looking at.

    "Concepcion is a very dynamic runner after the catch who shows impressive vision, can make defenders miss in a phone booth and shows good competitiveness to finish his rushes. His role as a rusher hasn’t been as prominent recently, but received a lot of carries as a freshman. Gives pretty good effort when stalking opponents in the run game, with a physical temperament and better functional strength than expected."

    "Play strength is better than you’d expect given his size, a little bit stockier and stronger than this type of receiver typically is"

    Strong Hands and Competitive Toughness

    "Despite not being the biggest receiver, Concepcion attacks the football, finishes through contact, and plays with noticeable intensity. He’s reliable on contested catches and tough over the middle."

    Go watch his highlights, it’s a lot making defenders miss not breaking tackles

    According to what I've seen and read, he's strong. He's a dawg. You appear to be going only by size. I mean, there are some notable receivers near his same size. He's certainly not the biggest, but isn't the smallest either. Some of y'all seem to have the attitude that slot receivers aren't worth a first. I do not believe that. Moreover, Concepcion can probably play on the outside or "end up on the outside." Wherever he plays, his "superpower" is his dynamicism with the ball in his hands.

    He’s not strong, he’s a quick twitchy WR who makes defenders miss. He’s not breaking tackles like a DJ Moore.
