DGB Considered "Best WR to Come Out since Calvin Johnson."

Albert Breer of NFL Media writes that while other prospects such as Florida State QB Jameis Winston and Alabama WR Amari Cooper may garner more attention in the coming days, no prospect has more on the line than Oklahoma WR Dorial Green-Beckham.

According to Breer, no receiver offers as much in terms of physically gifts, as Green-Beckham is listed at 6-foot-6, 225.

“He’s one of the best receivers I’ve ever seen,” said the scout. “He’s special. He’s gigantic, he has tremendous body control, balance, he runs like a deer and can leap out of the gym and high-point the ball. He’s special. It’s impressive. If not for all that stuff, he’d be the best receiver to come out since Calvin Johnson.”
However, there are plenty of concerns with a player like Green-Beckham.

He was arrested on possession of marijuana charges during his freshman year at Missouri, only to be busted again, but this time with a pound of marijuana.

Then, just three months later, Green-Beckham forced his way into Missouri student’s apartment and pushed her down a set of stairs.

According to Breer, three NFL teams have information that he failed multiple drug tests during his time in Columbia, which led to his dismissal from the team.

“He’s very immature,” said one of Breer’s sources. “People like him as a guy, but you cannot defend the off-field incidents.”
In two years at Missouri, Green-Beckham caught 87 passes for 1,278 yards receiving and 17 touchdowns.

If hes there at 25 and you've interviewed him enough and he checks out, it would be quite moronic to bypass him.  

It depends who else is still on the board but yes at 25 he's a fuging steal IF he can keep his nose clean.

See this is lazy reporting. DGB ALLEGEDLY pushed that girl down the stairs. He was not charged with anything and the "victim" didn't talk to the police. If someone pushed me down the stairs...I'm talking about it. I'm sure this will be regurgitated to death as well. ...and I'm waiting for the, "DGB is a drug lord so the victim kept her mouth shut," conspiracy theorist post.

Pretty sure some of the people arguing for us to draft him are the same ones who screamed that if we didn't trade a first or second round draft pick for Josh Gordon or Justin Blackmon, it proved we didn't care about winning :lol:

Some real fountains of football wisdom there, eh?

I think OP was just trying to show people how good this kid really is. He could be a nightmare on an off the field lol.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
