IMO he's alot more NFL ready than Josh Jackson and if a man heavy team drafts Jackson he'll struggle mightily. 

Agreed. I like Jackson a LOT for a zone heavy scheme. His instincts and ball skills are very reminiscent of Josh Norman, but his technical skills need a lot of work. He'd get eaten alive if asked to play a lot of man coverage as a rookie.

I'd be thrilled if we took him.

The breakdown states he’s excellent in press coverage but should only be playing off the ball coverage a few snaps a game...does this mean he’s not suited for Zone coverage? If so, how would he fit here given our scheme?

This isn’t to say I don’t like him. My God, I can’t telll u how many times I scream at the TV for our CBs giving a 10 yard cushion to the WRs...but if our scheme isn’t changing, do u really think we’d draft a guy who sounds like he’s a more ideal fit in man to man?

doubt you do it for a rookie but if he can handle it they could play him like they did Norman with coverage rolled away and him playing more man then the rest of the team. he would still need to be able to play zone really well though as it would still be a large portion of his snaps

      What's up with hunter renfrow

      By TD alt · Posted

      I suspect Coker can be better, but I haven't seen much evidence of Horn actually being better. Nuanced route running should not be taken lightly. If Horn ever reached the highest height that Renfrow has, I will be surprised. Coker may be able to do it, but it's certainly not a guarantee. I realize that Renfrow has been out of the game a few years, but I have seen evidence of him being his old self. That's also no guarantee, but I'm not certain that we'll ever be able to see any of these guysbteach their ceiling under the current circumstances.

      Renfrow basically is exactly who we thought he was.   He is a niche slot WR. But he doesn't fit the O or Bryce though.  Renfrow needs a pretty good QB and scheme to be of use.  Bryce Young flat can't even hit him when he is open.  Folks saying Renfrow hasn't been good or washed are letting Bryce defense get in the way.  It's also just denying reality we watched on the field of him being wide open over and over and Bryce not being able to hit the broad side of a barn.  He probably has the best hands on the team though.  He is the best short/classic slot route runner on the team and it's not really close.  but we need to be developing Tmac, XL, Coker, Tremayne and Horn.  I'd say only 2 guys are technically better than Renfrow right now in a vaccum and that is Tmac and Coker.

      That's basically how I see it. He's obviously not washed. I've watched at least three vids showing how he was open and Bryce missing him. I've also seen evidence of him still putting people in a blender. But, if Bryce is going to miss him and Canales isn't going to use him, we may as well see what the young guys can do.
