Can't afford Maclin? Draft Agholor.

He should be in the conversation for #25. His combine was pretty eye-opening and fits the type of WR we need. His ability to contribute on special teams and get behind defenders is up there with the rest of the tier that will be there at 25. DGB has red flags, Funchess doesn't fit what we need, so it's between Agholor, Strong and D. Smith.

Honestly, I'd be happy with any of this lot except for Funchess.

That's if you're reaching for a wide receiver. Gettleman has said time and time again that he won't be reaching for a need.

I'll hitch it...there are a lot of guys that could've been for one reason or another.  Stay durable, stay productive, and don't suck.

 

Fine....without using "he's a USC WR", how does Nelson Agholor compare to any of those players?

I just got around to watching a lot of his film. What stuck out most to me was his field vision. It's absolutely amazing on punt returns and when he has the ball in his hands. If we can't get Ginn or Jones and we end up drafting Agholor, I'd be confident with him back there returning for us. Fielding a punt is a lot different from college to NFL, but seeing the field and using your blockers isn't that much different. He'd be a guy with very good home run ability on returns that would help us immediately. Also he looked very good and balanced running many different routes and has deceiving and sudden acceleration. Could be good YAC, but what bothers me is he is kind of like Ginn in that he always tries to avoid contact. I think he could step in opposite KB and be an immediate contributor. I'm thinking he would be a fantastic 2nd rounder for us if we could get him there,

Well isn't avoiding contact kind of the point? I don't understand your issue.

 

Well, yes and no. It's about getting the most possible positive yards. I've seen both Ginn and this kid numerous times run out of bounds to avoid contact when he could've easily gotten 5 more yards. and maybe even more or broken a tackle and gone all the way. And I can't see Agholor going down the middle and holding onto a catch with a hit coming. He plays kind of scared. Smitty's such a monster because he fight his hardest for every extra inch. Agholor won't get any yards after contact. Smitty made his career on it. I know I shouldn't compare him to Smitty, I'm just saying that's a part of his game that I don't like. Having that aspect of taking hits and getting more out of them is a big part of being a successful WR, in my opinion. That's why I liked Philly this past year, he's a small motherfuger but he fought for those yards. It's not taking away from me wanting us to get him in the 2nd, I just think if he embraced that contact and tried to break tackles and fight for more yards, he'd be more successful.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
