Rather have Agholor, Dorsett, and Perriman over Strong.

 

hell i would rather have Jamison Crowder or Justin Hardy over Strong at this point after reading that article on him that someone posted a while back. 

 

i cant remember who posted it or from what site, but it was basically talking about how Strong isnt a hands catcher, doesnt get good YAC, and isnt really a speedster. sorry but we can get receivers in the 3rd and 4th rounds that will produce more than Strong in OUR system. 

 

i will try to find the link to that post and add it to this one...

 

EDIT: found it... 

 

I was a fan of strong until I read this yesterday. Now I don't know if I want the Panthers drafting him.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2421862-why-jaelen-strong-does-not-belong-in-the-first-round-of-the-2015-nfl-draft

 

 

quote from link:

 

He is too slow and tentative during his release from the line of scrimmage to comfortably get into his route.

 

Once he is in his route, the cornerback is able to drape over him because Strong's route is poor. His linear movement and lack of upper-body fluidity make it easy for the defensive back.

 

After the quarterback fits the ball into the smallest of windows, Strong is released into space on the second level. He shows off good awareness to locate the cutback lane. From this position, Strong should re-accelerate to outrun the safety to the pylon. However, he is incapable of doing that.

 

Strong ran very well at the combine (4.44 40-yard dash), but that speed is rarely evident on the field. It's especially notable that he can't reaccelerate or adjust comfortably after turning or planting his foot.

 

This brings us back to the catch point. Strong caught 82 passes for 1,165 yards and 10 touchdowns last year. By Football Study Hall's measure, the Arizona State player was targeted 152 times. As the site also highlights, this is a very poor ratio compared to his peers.

 

It would be considered a very poor ratio in the NFL also.

He may not be a speed WR, but that articles is wrong on his hands. The dude catches everything.

I'd rather get Agholor or Dorsett at this point but I will have to disagree with this article. Strong has some of the best hands in the draft and runs a 4.4. He was impressive the few times I saw Arizona State play this year.
