2018 WRs

Recommended Posts

2017 showed a strong slot #3 WR class, overall it was as strong as a few previous classes

 

Christian Kirk (texas a&m)- Projected 1st, comparison Corey Coleman.  Scouts are starting to buzz on this kid.  Very explosive, some scouts calling him baby Beckham.

Equanimeous St Brown (Notre dame)- Projected 1st.  Big Athletic kid and one of the better route runners out there.

Calvin Ridley (bama)- hyped as the next Amari Cooper coming into filling his shoes.  Same size and athletic ability as Cooper was.  Ridley's hype has been rather quiet due to how heavy the run game has been since he's been there. Older, going to be turning 23 this year.

Courtland Sutton (SMU)- big athletic guy who dominates smaller dbs. Some said he was projected a borderline first round pick in the 2017 draft.

Paris Campbell- the next explosive WR to come out of Ohio State.  Didn't do anything last year but everyone hyping him up this year.

James Washington- overall solid WR. Dominated Chidobe Awuzie in the bowl game last year for 171 yards.

Auden Tate- big target, NFL comparison KB.  6'5 230 FSU staff feels they have anither KB on their hands.  His career has been very similar to KB's and they are expecting that same year 3 jump from him

DANTE PETTIS

Pettis is up there as well.  He is long thin with good hands.

He reminds a lot like Josh Doctson who the skins drafted in the first the other year.  Would like to see him add some more muscle.

I love Pettis, it'll be interesting to see how he does this year as the Huskies number 1 with Ross gone.

He's got great hands and is a very fluid/smooth athlete. His dad Gary played in the Majors for a long time and is currently the 3rd base coach for the Astros. So he knows all about professionalism and all that fun stuff.

Dante Pettis with ANOTHER punt return touchdown tonight. Also has a touchdown catch as well. 

If Funchess doesn't figure his sh*t out this man would compliment KB and the rest of the group so well

 

my boy 

He's looked good.

 

James Washington of OKSt is shooting to the top of my WR board

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
