Potential Steal Alert

Found this at the bottom of an article which talks about teams needing a strong draft.  I was most certain we would be on it. 

We weren't but the article mentions a potential steal alert and this gentleman's name has popped up on some of our mock draft lists.

Here's a name to remember: Notre Dame wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown. I recently completed my study of his game film, and I came away very intrigued.

He has outstanding size, quickness and route-running savvy. However, his production fell off this fall. He caught 58 balls and 9 touchdowns as a sophomore but he only hauled in 33 balls and 5 touchdowns this past season. After watching all of his targets from the 2017 season, the drop-off in production is easily explained. Yes, he has a couple drops, but the lack of accuracy at the quarterback position was the main reason for his disappointing numbers. He consistently created separation down the field, only to see the ball fly out of reach.

St. Brown has a complete tool set to be a quality starting NFL receiver. I think teams will see the same thing. I value him as a second-round player and he could end up being a steal in April.

 

I think the part I enjoyed the most was "consistently created separation down the field"

He has all you want in a WR with exception of speed.  It does mention quickness but not speed.

the big question if the panthers draft him and he doesn't pan out...is it his fault, or cam newton's.

We've talked about him before and my biggest concern is his frame. Dude has toothpick legs and I'm not sure if he can put on muscle there, you generally have it or you don't. 

I'd be concerned he'd snap a leg every time he touched the ball and he has the potential to have quite a few leg injuries much like Darren McFadden did.

 As someone who “missed” on McFadden, big time, I see the issue. But it is not nearly as concerning for a WR as it is a RB. 

 ESB is exactly who I targeted when looking for a WR in this draft . This is provided we add a speed option in FA, like a Paul Richardson. Funchess is on his final year and We need to consider that with any WR choice.

I don't disagree we need another WR to add to the stables, but I'm tempering my excitement for him. Paul Richardson was another guy who concerned me with his frame. It looks like he's missed time each year he's been in the league except last year, also missing all but one game in 2015. Richardson has talent, he's just so skinny he gets manhandled and injured often.

 This guy sounds alright from the 4th round onwards. Great name. Not as good as his brother who just signed for USC though. Lets just wait 3 years and pick up Amon-Ra St Brown.

Yeah the youngest of the 3 boys is easily the best one and it's not really that close.

      Wonder if we draft a RB. Seems like a lot of eggs in Brooks’ basket right now.  And the OL, no kidding. If that running game goes to hell with what we have at QB, you can forget competing. It is so much more important than sticking another wideout on the field. Take your wideout later.

      I have lots of different thoughts on it. This argument, the primary thing is I don’t like seeing him or anyone, being convicted on hearsay and/or pure speculation. Which some are doing.  I don’t care That much about defending Morgan as I do about the criticism being fair minded.    You sort of assert that Dan was just a yes man. I don’t think we know if he ever pushed back against Fitterer but I have this instinct thing that needs me to satisfy the question of: if Tepper was so down on a Fitterer as to fire him, why in the world would he hire his carbon copy? I guess maybe he wanted a yes man.Like I said, lots of different thoughts.     I am just not gonna judge him that harshly based only on speculation. I am sticking with what he has done starting when he was hired as GM. Maybe I am more lenient because the first season for him and Canales, I gave both a pass. Said I would judge them after the first year. Stuck to it. If you can get to the reality that neither were ready for the job and say okay give them a year get their feet wet, it looks a lot better.    And we are not bound to Bryce yet. Yes, for yet another fuging year he can probably marginally improve and slide by like he has been doing. But if they add even more people and he regresses? I think we could see some relief.    The QB room? As I understand it, Pickett was Canales’ choice. If we need to blame people for poo. In a sense, he is very Bryce like. So makes a good plug in. I get that a little bit. We still have the draft. If they do better than Jake Plummer or Hooker I’ll know they are trying.
