Yea, he could be had in the 3rd round. He is the best route runner in the draft, and he knows how to find the open space in the zone. His hands are incredible.. lacks elite speed. You know exactly what you are getting with this kid.

Yea, I agree.. I think Williams is a little more polished than Shipley and Shipley has a little more upside due to his speed. But, yea they are both consistent players.

He impressed me a lot at the Senior Bowl. Made a lot (6 catches for 83 yards) of good catches. Showed a great ability to use his body to shield the ball from the defender on crossing patterns. And did a great job on those little comeback routes.

He also had the longest run (27 yards) on a reverse where he made one guy miss then setup his blockers well (except maybe Black who basically tackles him by forcing him out of bounds). He has prototypical size at 6'0 205 and has good not great speed. Wouldn't mind getting him at all.

You know who lacked elite speed? Michael Crabtree. That guy came in and dominated for the 49ers.

I don't really care about speed, if you can't catch a ball or run good routes you're nothing. See: Devin Hester/Braylon Edwards.

If he can run routes and catch a ball he's fine in my book. Wes Welker isn't even that fast of a receiver, but his insane route running ability allows him to get separation on damn near every single play.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
