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

      The issue is the position Bryce plays. Finding a good/great quarterback isn't easy. Plus, it sometimes takes years for these guys to actually become good/great. What you have to look for is progress instead of regression. Bryce has shown that. Can he put it all together? We don't know yet. But that's why you place a smaller bet with the 5th year option, and wait to see. You could be wrong and lose your 30 mil bet, but you didn't hitch your wagon long-term and lose much more.

      Absolutely not. That’s too much for replacement level player. Bryce may be that. Or he may turn into something more. If you can’t see the flashes, you’re willfully blind. There’s more bad than good right now, but there’s less bad than there was earlier in his career. He’s only 24 and he’s showing signs of improvement. He may never become consistent enough to justify a long term contract, but he’s shown enough to roll the dice on what effectively will turn into a 2 year, $30MM contract for the next two years to see if he can earn something longer.    Sure, in his one season starting, Howell managed to throw for 3,946 yards and toss 21 TDs, but it took throwing the ball an astounding 612 times. He also threw 21 INTs (for a particularly egregious 3.4 INT%). For all the talk of him being a deep ball thrower, he still only averaged 6.4 YPA, with an average air yards of 5.6 yards per attempt. And for all the excuses of Washington’s line giving him no protection (65 sacks taken that year), he was only pressured on 22.7% of his dropbacks, which is a few percentage points lower than what Bryce has had to deal with each year (24.2, 26.7, and 24.0%).    These are all numbers that are at best roughly equivalent to Bryce’s production the past two years. It’s wild to me people can claim so confidently that he’s a better QB.
