WR Spotlight: Dezmin Lewis [Central Arkansas]

So there's a prospect I noticed recently that we met with, is kind of flying under the radar, and may be pretty close to what we're looking for: Dezmin Lewis

WR || Central Arkansas || 6'4" 214 Lbs (4.46 40)

 

 

According to NFL media analysts Daniel Jeremiah and Charles Davis, UCA wide receiver Dezmin Lewis may be one of the sleepers in the upcoming draft.

 

Jeremiah said, “When I watched him on tape, he was so much fun to watch. Look at how long he is. (He) can stride it out and beat you over the top. A little nifty after the catch, too, for such a long, tall receiver.”

 

Lewis was one of the players scouts watched closely at the Senior Bowl this year, as the week in Mobile, Ala., represented a big step up in competition for him. He is speculated to draw major interest on Day 3 (rounds 4-7). Observers say he will have to round out his game further to be a complete NFL receiver. But he is said to have a big upside and has the potential to have an impact early. A plus could be his ability to help on special teams.

 

Scouts were interested to see how his speed matched up at the senior bowl and Lewis stood out.  He's already a savvy route runner (huge), good hands, he's got the size, and we got a chance to meet with him.  Given Gettleman's comments about the WR class being deep and whatnnot, it makes me think what the FO thinks of guys beyond the expected top-3 round picks and if they have any in mind like Lewis.

Guys like him are the reason I think we should double dip in the draft at wide receiver.  Find a guy who can start day 1 and then bring in someone to groom.  I still think we can find a day 1 starter in the second or third round with no problem. Unless one of the top 4 guys in there in the first I would go a different direction.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Teams do some super stupid stuff with mid-fairly good QBs. I think they are just absolutely terrified they will be stuck with a QB that is not the quality of the QB they have now, even if its someone like Daniel Jones. Lots of trash QBs go in the first round. I encourage you to take a look at the sad, sad list of first round QBs in the last 15 years.

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.
