ditto. I absolutely hate this pick. He's too big. 

 

what kind of stupidity does it take to say that an NFL wide reciever is "too big"? the very fact that he IS so big is what gives him half his value. i agree he has enormous bust potential, but not because he is too big. im more concerned about his butterfinger hands. route running is suspect too but that can be taught. if the guy cant catch the rock consistently, it wont matter how tall he is. i think he will be a success... but im not holding my breath

 

i am comfortable with the pick, but not sold out for him yet. in Gman i trust.

at 9:30 you see k-beast in the slot. he runs a quick but smooth out and catches a redzone td. he can get  off the line....but you don't notice it because kb is actually a smooth route runner to a point.

also his drops are from trying to get yac  before he secures the balls...not from a lack of hands. that can be fixed

I trust Proehl's assessment over my own. I'm confident he will be productive for us.

Exactly. The three posters that are upset need to get over it and realize our front office has spent the past five months, day and night, working towards this draft. 

 

 

Trust their judgement until given a reason otherwise.

You guys calling him 'slow' off of the line are dead wrong:
 

Vincent Jackson: 1.57
Marques Colston: 1.60
Kelvin Benjamin: 1.62
Alshon Jeffery: 1.64


I think he gets off the ball just fine compared to other large WR's.

I think people are saying for a WR in general, not simply a large WR.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
