I know many of you don't like him (USC WR bias) but I'm glad we are doing our due diligence on him.  He could be a very good player.

No, he didn't play at Oregon.

I like him. Don't love him @25 but could be worse. A trade down sounds better but make no mistake I like him a lot.

I like him.

Eagles have worked him out twice according to Aaron Wilson, @RavensInsider, and he is as close to a Maclin clone you are going to get and they just lost him. It's definitely a possibility and I wouldn't be stunned to see him gone at 20, but the word is that Chip really prefers to have big WR's that stretch the field vertically so I can see Perriman being a legit possibility for them in the 1st as well. If Chip goes with another position in the 1st and Agholor is available in the 2nd then I think we would have to move ahead of Philly if we really want him.

If we end up taking Nelson Agholor at #25 over Jaelen Strong, I'm going to throw an intense hissy fit.  Just fair warning.

Agholor is better, and a better compliment to KB. Strong is severely overrated on this board. Ball skills nowhere near what people claim them to be, can't separate, and plays small far too often.

I could not possibly disagree more.

Strong is one of the most polarizing prospects I can remember. There are well respected football guys who just love him and think he is a surefire top 15 player and there are well respected football guys that think he is wildly overrated and shouldn't even be considered until the 3rd round. I lean more towards the latter camp, but I really understand the argument from both points of view.

Can someone please show me some game film of Strong getting YAC? I swear I've seen him make good contested catches but I've barely ever seen him get upfield after the catch.

I could not possibly disagree more.

 

Completely understandable. I've seen almost every snap Strong has played, and he's just not a difference maker to me. I think Agholor can be if utilized correctly, and no....that's not a "USC" thing. That's a "taking his skill set and looking how it fits" thing.

Yeah but he still likes a lot of the PAC 12 players since he recruited a lot of them even if they didn't go to Oregon
