I am on Bre shad Perriman's bandwagon

[top dawg]

I'm on the fence about Perriman. It would definitely depend on who else is available.

Him and KB would be an interesting duo.

To have such a dynamic duo with a play making vet in the slot, or even one of them in the slot, would make for a valid triple threat, not to mention Olsen being left one on one underneath. Man. I can only dream.

[top dawg]

Dude, no.

How many times do we have fall for the same type of prospect? Perriman makes Patterson look like Fitzgerald.

You're way off base. Perriman not only runs better routes (even now), but he has no problem getting separation. He will get separation based on speed alone, just think what he can do once coached up.

People knocking Perriman and exclaiming we won't draft him probably said the same thing about Kelvin last year. Similar knocks on their game and rawness at the position, but Breshad is the better athlete. Improved his play every season even after losing Bortles to the draft a season prior to his final year in college. Him being a hands-catcher leads me to believe he can improve there and he is fluid in his movements. Tidy up that route running and he's got about as much upside as any guy in the draft.

And yes, he is a natural hands catcher according to reports. A CP comparison is just wrong.

It's been discussed in multiple threads

 

The 4.25 that he ran today?

[LinvilleGorge]

Do not want.

 

But, with that said, if Proehl signs off on him that's all I need.

[rmoneyg35]

His drops scare me but I have read that his QB was the cause of some of his drops because he would throw the ball close to the ground, ect. I still would rather have Strong. I hate waiting for the draft.

Don't need to read reports to see that he's a hands catcher, and that's why I feel it's correctable.

Perriman is a smooth moving athlete with elite speed and explodes out of breaks. His route running can also be corrected.

Perriman plays to his size and can fight through press coverage. Perriman will win on the outsides at the next level and that's not something I can say for a guy like Strong.

yeah

[top dawg]

The more things change, the more they stay the same. It's akin to KB debates all over again.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

I do. Strong isn't a burner but he's big, smart and, most importantly, he's got those hands. He'll fit right in with our scheme. If we desire break away speed, we could always opt for Parker (who has very solid hands too).

Perriman bothers me only because he's the prototypical blazingly-fast WR with below average hands and very little football smarts. Rarely do those types hang around the NFL for more than three years. I wouldn't mind him if we drafted him in the late rounds, but in first round? Hell no.

 

Where are you getting your info that Perriman possesses "very little football smarts"?

Very little football smarts? Where the hell did you read that? He has a football pedigree.

[Moorgan]

Interesting is a good word for that duo. Frustrating as hell with the drops but limitless potential. Two big bodies and a mismatch for any defense. Throw in Olsen and Cam would finally have a formidable cast of pass-catchers.

If they catch passes. But personally I don't know enough. Just what others have said.

[Mol3m4n]

Someone runs extremely fast every year and shoots up boards just to disappoint when it comes to actual game time.

I'm not saying this guy is a bust, but I'm very cautious.
