Can't afford Maclin? Draft Agholor.

I saw the computer comp on NFLN, and Mike Mayock said it was an interesting comparison---his tone giving me the feeling that he was actually considering it to be somewhat true, so I looked him up, and maybe...

Nelson Agholor looks fairly smooth and looks to be a threat on punt returns.  An unnamed NFC scout apparently believes that his ceiling is as a slot receiver.  Perhaps the scout is right, but it sure does look like he can play on the outside when I look at his highlights, and he looks fairly physical.  As for speed, he ran a 4.42 which is almost identical to Maclin's 4.45

I doubt he makes it to us in the second.  We'd have to take him at 25 and he'd probably be worth it too.

 

There would have to be a run on WRs and OTs for us to probably even consider taking him in the first, and so far Agholor doesn't have a first round grade.  It's still early though, so who knows what will happen?

Ya its too early, for all we know he could have a first round grade next week this stuff changes all the time.  I really don't think he'd be much of a reach at 25, he's explosive, a great route runner, and fills a need as a returner.

 

104 catches in 2014 (3rd USC all time)

USC punt return for TD record (4)

2013: 19.1 yards per punt return (school record)

 

obviously getting him in the 2nd would be ideal, but I could see a team like the Raiders snagging him early 2nd.

Love Agholor. He'd be a great fit here and a good compliment to Kelvin. Doubtful he's around in the 2nd round and I actually think he could be worth a 1st.

 

At 25 we may end up having our choice between Strong, Agholor, Perriman, Devin Smith, and DGB. All very good players that could instantly start for us and be difference makers.

The question is who to choose from them 5 or another person or position

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
