USC WR Nelson Agholor has private visit with Panthers today

I feel like chip kelly is gonna want 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.

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.

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.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
