I slept on it, and I'm now OK with it, here's why

I get it now. It makes sense for why we took him. 

 

He was the highest graded player on the board and we grabbed him, but for whatever reason, I didn't understand why that was last night. He is so damn raw, I just didn't understand how he'd be able to make an immediate impact.

 

I forgot he was a giant.

 

This dude is HUGE, and anyone his size, is always open. Even if he is raw in his routes and shaky with his hands, he is an immediate redzone asset. He provides us with a big target to score touchdowns when we get close to the goal line, something we haven't had since pretty much ever. At this stage in his career, he doesn't need to know the route tree like guys that are 6' or under. he doesn't have to be shifty like the smaller receivers. All he has to do is work on his hands, and catch anything thrown near him, and he can produce right away. Not many corners are going to be able to knock him off his routes, he's just too big, and good luck tackling him when he gets a full head of steam.

 

If he can put everything else together, then I think we just got our Jimmy Graham. At least I hope so. Now all we need is another young guy to develop along with him, and looking at the talent still available at WR, I don't think we will have that issue.

More similar to a Ramses Barden imo. Tall long guy with poor-average vert and questionable speed. 

 

Calvin Johnson's vertical was only 2.5" higher.

Joe Adams, Stephen Hill, Marvin McNutt, and AJ Jenkins all had higher verts.

As for speed: http://www.fannation.com/si_blogs/super_bowl_blog/posts/45101-fitzgerald-boldin-prove-how-stupid-40-yard-dash-is

 

 

Now shut your bitch ass up and buy a KB jersey!

Huh, Calvin's vert is nearly 10 inches higher at 41'

There's a lot to be excited about and a lot to be nervous about. Nothing wrong with that, he is raw.

A couple things:

1. His comments about lacking motivation. Our very own Star quit football for a year. Remember that.

2. We have a technition as our wr coach

3. Cam, cam and cam. Cam is kbs favorite qb. Cam is now the leader of this offense. Kb will look up to cam and won't wanna disappoint him.

And 4. Kbs is a red zone target immediately. He can make an impact immediately in this regard. Let's see if this kid will put in the work. I have a feeling he will especially with avant and cotchery as mentors in that room.

Anyone saying we just drafted a bust or drafted megatron light right now are being premature. Let's see if this kid has the determination, motivation and talent to be an elite receiver because he has all the tools, all the great coaching, and some amazing mentors to learn from.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
