As someone that is not a college football buff I tend to do most of my prospect familiarization after the combine & the week of the draft/leading up to it. Today was a Leonard Fournette day, but I started looking at Henderson again as some posts here brought his name to my attention, so I just thought I'd share the following...

Averaged...read this again, averaged, 30 yards per return (taken from early commentary in this video).

A nice prospect...just depends in who we get first...hoping for a J Ross sighting...but this could be more realistic pick...

What I liked the most was the YAC, he was able to make guys miss on the bubbles, and quick throws turning them into bigger plays, we need that. Also I liked the ability he showed on his two TD's running the back shoulder fades in the red zone at the goal line. 

If you keep an eye out even in run blocking he didn't look to give up too soon. Most of them were through the whistle. I'd like him as another outside receiver, since it looks as though that's where he lines up the most. I really like the idea in three receiver sets where Funchess and Benjamin can rotate the slot on those vertical play calls. While we still have a deep threat outside (Byrd/Henderson/Johnson#2)

KB/Funchess/Byrd/Johnson/Henderson/Shepard - is a receiver group I like the potential of, a good mix of size and speed.

I think he'll offer some potential, but I think he'll go higher than he is worth.

We don't have an early third, btw.

I'd rather take Josh Reynolds, Dede Westbrook, Damore'ea Stringfellow, or a couple other guys later in the draft.

He's my 3rd option at WR in the 2nd behind Jones and Godwin. I could even entertain an argument for putting him ahead of Godwin, but Zay Jones has been the guy I've wanted at #40 for a long time now. Pretty much since the Senior Bowl.

 

I like Godwin a lot, and have run a few fanspeak mocks where he didn't last till our late 2nd, and even a couple where he was taken before 40.....I'm all in.

I like those three plus Taywan Taylor.  I actually see Jones and Henderson filling two different needs for us.

I'm a big fan of Jones also.  I think he is pretty safe pick. From all accounts he has some of the best hands in the draft and I think he is better athlete than some people think.  Worst case he turns into a sure handed, possession type of #2 receiver, a Cotchery with better speed maybe?  Does Cam really have anyone like that at the moment on the roster?

Henderson could be that dynamic, play making, smaller receiver that can also handle return duties.  Here again not something we really have on the roster at the moment.

What is the chance we draft two WRs in the second round?  I know, pretty close to none, although it wouldn't bother me at all.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves. And yeah, I'm a Heels fan but I'm specifically using Maye here because he's another young highly drafted QB not an established top tier player. Seems like a fair apples to apples comparison versus using a Mahomes or Allen.

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
