nobody plays as fast as their 40 time, but that’s not the point. He’s bendy and explosive pre and post catch and is always the most explosive guy on the field. He’s held up and done it consistently over three seasons.

im not getting locked into this idea of needing to find a traditional X player, especially since we’re not picking in the 1st round. If he struggles against press, then motion him and line him up off. It’s not uncharted territory

he has rare attributes that good offensive coordinators dream about. That’s hard to get in the second round and I’d much rather do that than hoping some of these other guys-all of them with their own set of flaws-to an increasing degree the further down the board you go-put it together.

It comes down to if he can get stronger through his routes. If he beats a guy off the line he's gone, but so are most receivers, but if a DB gets hands on him, and DBs are better in the pros, he can't get free. If he can get better at that, then he could be pretty damn good.

you’ve got to understand that for most posters the evaluation is as simple as “broke the 40 record? So he’s John Ross huh no thanks” 

 

Worthy is a solid route runner and doesn't play as fast as his 40 time (not that he plays slow, just not THAT fast). His slight frame means when DBs get hands on him he is re-routed quite often, and he is not good against press man like some of the other leaner fast guys the past few drafts (Tank Dell, Flowers, Davonte Smith, Josh Downs). He doesn't play bigger than his frame, he plays as big as he is.

First of all I said IF.

Secondly, this would indicate to me it wasn't a one time thing.

IF    

This was a one time thing I completely understand.  Kids with money is tough not to endulge, hell kids without money love to party.

I have no idea how good Williams will be because I haven't bothered looking at any QB prospects this year because we have no first round pick and we have Bryce.

All I know about Williams is that he's like the poster child Gen Z kid and boomers hate him for it.

So I hope he succeeds, just not as much as Bryce and never against us.

IDK man I'm not really sold on Legette getting separation in the NFL. I think at this point I'd rather go Coleman to have that different body type out there

It's easier to get guys open if you send them in motion. Not sure what Canales' tendencies are there, but we were damn near dead last last season when Reich was the play caller and the lack of separation showed. If we do take someone not named McConkey I would expect motion to help assist in getting the players open more consistently.

At least that's what a competent coach would do. Jury's still out on the new guy.

Texans and Broncos updates were turrible. 

Broncos throwbacks, though, were a thing of beauty. Should be their primaries. 

 

Check out this fan mockup of what an update to those jerseys would look like:

What could have been.

Don't hate the red alternates.

The H looks like a baseball logo.

The slight upgrade to the main uni is fine. Not too drastic but an update to a dated look.

Anyone can make a mistake and there's no better story than a redemption one. Still you've got to really look into who this kid is and what kind of man he'll be once he has a ton of money piled in front of him.

Character really does matter, especially in this day. If the DUI was a one time situation, then snag him as he falls. If there's even a hint that the DUI just happened to be the first time he was caught, then let him go and be someone else's headache.

 

From the numerous draft profiles I have read since the DUI, said DUI was not surprising to scouts in the least.

Worthy has athletic ability better than DeSean Jackson and their measurable are identical.  Worthy will be a nightmare in NFL.

If he can stay healthy.

His style of play at his size does not lead to being healthy often.

Can't believe no one has mentioned how Canales has given us our very own version of Shocked Pikachu for future meme potential:

We aren't a playoff team anyway, why sign a 34 year old CB.

Develop somebody. 

Or we Pay the 34 yr old CB to HELP develop somebody.

I actually really like this and have Brooks on my want list.

I'd sub one of the 5th and beyond picks for WR Jalen Coker but other than that I'm good with it.

I fixed the title to reflect what was actually said, as well as embedded the tweet properly.

And for all of you "I knew it!" people who obviously didn't read what was in the actual link nor the thread:

What are your thoughts on Roman Wilson? Widely considered a top 10 WR in this draft.

Good slot guy, but I want a guy who has the outside potential/versatility. Everyone I listed above except for Washington has X potential, except Polk who I think will be a great WR2 in the NFL.

I dunno why, just not super high on Wilson.

Franklin is one of the guys I have reservations about - Others being Coleman, Leggette, Pearsall and Worthy.

Guys I'm higher on in no particular order:

Ladd McConkey

AD Mitchell

Javon Baker

Malik Washington

Ja'Lynn Polk

Jalen Coker

I mean, he's an old fart---who has earned his stripes and rings---who is stuck in his ways. Teams should've already known that before they brought him in. 

I heard on the radio that Kraft and Blank denied that he made any disparaging remarks.

Offensively, maybe, I don't know, the pats offense was a mess once mcdaniels and Brady left and he did some really dumb and weird things to replace them - but defensively? Dude still has it and is one of the most adaptable/brilliant defensive minds in the game.

I haven't watched it, but apparently the new Pats docuseries threw a ton of unnecessary shade Bill's way, so much so that former players were jumping to his defense for the way he was portrayed in the show.

I will unironically get a JJ Jersey when he retires.

"okay brad we need you to just sit there..try to look normal"

I just tore something watching that.

Florio is a drama queen and I doubt anything substantial actually comes from it.

They want him here.

He wants to be here.

It's probably a matter of money.

Or he doesn't want to do offseason stuff, like a true Vet.

But probably a vet compensation thing to do with guaranteed money based on when he's signed as well.
