Sleeper WR!!

Recommended Posts

Scott(brandon) long from louisville would be a great pick and hes already said he would like to come here. i went to high school with scott and aside from his injuries he would be a great pick for us late. He ran a 4.46, tied for first w/ 20 reps, highest vertical and best cone drill from the WRs at the combine. The only reason hes not known is b/c he didnt play much due to a knee and foot injury but hes a freak who can do it all. He did lead louisville in receiving yards his senior year and has a great character. I know scouts will have a eye on him now and he probably has the best character of any player in the draft. Whoever drafts Scott will be getting a great player.

yea hes from southport,NC. i played little league football and baseball thru high school with him. Check out the workout numbers on him...hes the biggest sleeper in the draft i think. after his pro day i think hell get more attention though. Scott is faster than a 4.46 too. He can fly going downfeild with long strides and can catch really well.

i watched the video from the combine but it doesnt show when scott catches...just shows his deep route catch. His time from the workouts from the combine on nfl.com show his 40 at 4.46 and hes near the top if not the leader on the other workouts....i was surprised there was no talk of him after his combine

He was top 5 in every single drill except the 40 time, which he was top 10. He is a workout warrior for sure.. similar to Gary Barnidge last year, who also happens to be from Louisville. The knocks on Long are his lack of speed and inability to get in and out of cuts.. but it looks like he is perfectly capable of those things by the combine numbers.

His catching was one of his pluses. So if he can put it all together, he will be a very good WR at the next level.

yea if you watch him run the 40 you can tell his speed is not a problem. He messed up the first time and had to do it over which im sure caused him to run a little slower. he has very long strides and great size. i believe hell do very well at the next level if he stays healthy...to me thats the only concern.

Was pat reading the Huddle..lol

Here’s a name to keep an eye on for both teams around that time: Louisville’s Scott Long. He went into the combine projected as a mid- or late-round pick. His performance in Indianapolis likely helped his stock and could push him into the second or third round

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
