Hornets shooting has definitely cooled off to end the season -
By HardcoreHokie · Posted
Would be cool if Melo and Kon tied for the season league lead in 3’s. Either that or Kon straight-up. -
I love the bottom feeding approach. Not to say I was the only one, but I was screaming to draft Coker and then screaming to get him in here as an UDFA. There were criticisms about him, etc. As a Gamecock baby (Dad was a Tight End for them when I was born) I was against Legette. I wanted the kid from Georgia. All that to say this: I am afraid of drafting a WR (I spent some time today researching) a few of the top names: 1. Jordan Tyson. MCL, ACL, NHL---he has injured everything he could that ends in "L" and some things not related to his body. He will drop, and everyone will start getting excited around 15. NO! take him off the board. 2. KC Concepcion. I want to like him, but is he not John Metchie III II? I can't stand drops. To me, the most important characteristic for a receiver is hands. I do not buy the "He can be taught." I disagree to a degree. Catching a football at a high level when you are being hit by someone behind you as you run full speed across the field is more about concentration and focus than anything else. You gotta trust your eyes, your instincts, and your QB. Hard to teach someone not to fear something that hits you that you cannot see. Dropping passes gets into your head--that makes you second guess yourself. if it doesn't, it should. Either way, it is a mental issue. 3. Omar Cooper. I like him enough, but at 19? No. He is a good YAC guy with solid hands. However, he had a good WR across from him, the best QB in the country, a pretty easy schedule (He had his best games against FCS schools) and I wonder how much of the route tree he ran. I am torn, not sold. Of the three just mentioned, he has the worst skillset but I would like him the best as our Z. Who then, do I want, you ask? If it has to be WR, trade back. If you can't, draft the slow guy who can't get a good release. 1. Denzel Boston. If it has to be a WR at 19, I think I would take Denzel Boston. His biggest criticism is the release (and 40 speed) but he had great hands and runs good routes. as the Z, which is what we need, he would be perfect because he could motion toward the LOS and even when on the LOS, he is off the ball. Lets do some bottom fishing in Coker Lake: Round 2: Ted Hurst. He is a model Z WR for this offense. Drops too many balls to my liking, but as a second rounder, I can tolerate that a bit more than a first rounder. Round 5: Kendrick Law (UK): This is the guy I am most comfortable drafting. His average route at KY was under 4 yards. He is great at running after the catch. Stats? don't look at the game stats--look at the measurables. A 42-inch vertical, a 10-foot-8 broad jump, and a 9.60 Relative Athletic Score place him among the most explosive receivers in this class. That kind of lower-body power, paired with his balance through contact and proven ability to generate yards after the catch, gives him a real foundation to develop beyond what Kentucky asked of him. I think they were considering drafting a WR in the first round. I get it, but as with the tackles in round 1, "Buyer Beware." I have not given up on XL but I am very concerned that his mind is not right for the NFL.
