Curious as to why no Strong pre-draft visit.

[top dawg]

I was just going to post an article about how bleacher report does not belong on the internet.

If you watched the NCAA national championship game, then you heard Bleacher Report getting it's ad time. It's a multimillion dollar Internet behemoth that is gradually improving its quality, viability and credibility.

Now, I am going to read the article...

I like Strong but here are more options. if he is there in 2nd it would be a good pick. Some were talking about him in the first but I think that would be a reach.

I just want a #2 who is a bit faster..

[beastson]

Because we're going to draft him.

any of the 1st and 2nd round WRs. lol If we get strong ill be happy but like I said I think we need a burner.

 

perhaps we have strong and maybe we can eventually find a long term #3 with serious speed

 

In the end, ill take route running over straight line speed anyday

there are a few fast guys in the later rounds. I personally like Conley from UGA . He is not the only one.  isn't Strong a 4.45 guy?Maybe that doesn't translate to game speed.

As for me, I will just get some comfort getting another young WR with some upside and obvious YAC ability, but I prefer Perriman, Agholor and Hardy.

Perriman just oozes explosive potential, and I have been saying that since I first saw him. Agholor had a fairly fast time in the 40, but when you watch him on tape, he looks even faster (like he has another gear), and he has nice hands and runs nice routes. Hardy, though slower, also has maybe the best hands and runs the best routes. Though maybe not as athletic on tape than some others, Hardy always seems to put himself in a position to make plays.

That's just my abridged break down of my three favorite receivers in the draft. And to tell you the truth, I like them all more than I like Strong in fitting with our needs. But, I have literally been watching Strong for going on two years, and if he ends up being picked above or instead of either of them, I am not going to throw a hissy fit.

looks like we have some good options. Where are these likely to be available?

Strong's speed definitely does not translate to game speed. Many thought he would be in the 4.6 range prior to the combine based on tape. Running a 4.4 was shocking.

Well, that's the question. Perriman is rising and may be gone by our first time on the clock, as may Strong, but Agholor and Hardy may or may not be there when we pick in the second. There has been some talk of Agholor going in the first, but as for us, we haven't even worked him out.

Cian does really good write ups on X's and O's. he wrote one up on how Carolina had a very bad game plan vs. the vikings last season. he includes gifs and still pics to help support his writings. he is really good.

every person that writes on bleacher is not bad. bleacher has improved a lot over the years, and they have actually hired some real writers.

Not everything on bleacher report is good but I find a lot of useful info on their app. They also use other sites articles so you get to read articles from everywhere. I'm not saying the anti- Strong article is fact but I figured people need to hear all the bad about him and get all the info about him before deciding on what you think of him. I was on the Strong bandwagon but this article has convinced me that maybe other WR prospects are the better option.

Cool story, but he's right.

[rayzor]

just so you know, teams can (and are) skype with potential draft picks and it won't count as an official "meeting" with the prospect.

 

just because we haven't called him in doesn't mean that we haven't been talking to him.

I love Agholor and Hardy, but I wouldn't touch Perriman until the 3rd. Reminds me of Cordarrelle Patterson. He's not a great route runner and doesn't have great hands, just size and speed. All the potential in the world, but I just don't want a guy like that in the 1st. I don't think Agholor makes it to our 2nd rounder. I'd be fine with him in the 1st though, even over Strong. I would want DGB in the 1st but obviously we aren't targeting him. Hardy in the 3rd please sign me up. I'd be fine with Strong in the 1st, but the flaw pointed out in that article hold very true, and that concerns me a bit. If Ricky and DG want him though then I'll be happy.
