2015 Philly Brown is our 2012 Doug Balwdin

Both Brown and Baldwin are mid sized receivers who don't particularly excel at anything, but are decent at everything. 

Both undrafted free agents as rookies. Both come from legit college football programs. Both had unspectacular 40 times in the combine (thus being undrafted)

Similar stats in their first years (aside from Philly not getting as many snaps)

I feel like Philly should really take a look at Baldwin's game as a model for his career. In a couple of years he has all the ability in the world to get near 800-900 receiving yards.

So now that ive read what their stats are, this is a really good idea to me. I didnt realize Baldwin was Phillys size. I dont know why but Philly still looks so skinny to me. 

I really hope we can see more Philly in the slot. I feel like he played well out of there when given the chance.

I love Baldwin's game. Baldwin is a hands catcher who is able to absorb hits and make people miss. Baldwin has the strength to fight off defenders and out runs guys with the ball in his hands. Philly is a straight line speed kinda guy, who doesn't trust his hands (and never will). Philly isn't a threat to go anywhere after catch and doesn't have the ability to make people miss. 

I'd love to go and get us a Baldwin type receiver in this years draft though! A guy like Sterling Shepard would be a nice pick up and I'd compare him to Baldwin. I just want to see us surround Cam with some guys that have the ability to make people miss, Braxton Miller has that ability as well.

Philly's catching passes from Cam. baldwin's catching passes from Gary Coleman. It's the same physics that makes mediocre girls look hot when they're hanging out with their one fat friend.

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
