Gonna be interesting to see how Quinn Ewers does next year. Losing both his starting WRs are they proved to be FAST. The faster of the two running the fastest Combine 40 ever and the "slower" one running 4.35. I mean... DAMN.

Texas got a couple transfers, one from Alabama. Isaiah Bond who was decent last year. If he stays healthy I think Ewers shows out and has a Heisman caliber season next year. Injuries are going to be a big factor for him.

Oh, I'm sure he's not gonna be throwing to bums but both those Texas WRs are  gonna go on the top 50 picks. Hell, they might both go in the 1st round. Thats a lot to replace.

Yet another player moving into a better position in the draft through the process. Fact is we are better served to find the diamonds that were later rounders that have had similar accessions. Just not rising out of reach but into contesting for that mid tier.  Guys like Malik Washington, Thrash, McMillan, and Coker are our targets. Too many WR's are going to go in the first for us to get the pick of the litter. How many is a litter? I could see 6 to 7 WR's go in the first.

How many WRs will go in round 1? 

Possibly 6--if Xavier's 40 time causes him to squeeze in the top 32,  it could be 7.

In my view, Harrison, Nabers and Odunze are top 10, and Thomas is top 20, and Franklin is top 32.  That is 5 WRs going in the first round.

Now, there is something to consider--the Panthers apparently had 2 meetings with Malik Washington, a 5'8" tall slot WR out of UVA who should be available in the third round or even on day 3. 

So what will be available with the #33 pick?  A TON of solid WR talent (Listed below).  However, we need a polished route runner and a guy with good hands who can work the middle and the sidelines.  I had not really heard of him until the combine, but he kept catching my eye.  Don't laugh, but if I was going to take a WR in the second round, I think I would take Pearsall.  Here is why:

WR Ricky Pearsall. Elite Combine performance, great hands, great route runner.  6 ft 1 inches tall.  195 lbs.

  • 40: 4.41 (82nd percentile)
  • Vert: 42” (97th percentile)
  • Broad: 10’9” (89th percentile)
  • 3-cone: 6.64 (93rd percentile)
  • SS: 4.05 (89th percentile)

Others

  • Polk UW
  • Legette SC
  • J. Baker  UCF
  • J. Wilson Fl St
  • McConkey UGA
  • Mitchell Tex
  • Coleman Fl St
  • Worthy Tex
  • Corley WKY
  • Walker UNC
  • Burton Bama
  • Wilson Michigan

 

It seems to me if we are interested in Washington later in the draft as a slot WR, we are probably going to draft an X WR at 33.  Imagine this:

  • Thielen
  • Pearsall
  • Mingo
  • Malik Washington
  •  Marsette-Smith
  • Marshall Jr


I think that would be a significant upgrade.  Now, the reason I did this is some of you were talking about McConkley--and I love him--but if we are talking to Malik Washington, we are not looking for a slot WR until later in the draft.  That would restrict the players we'd take at #33.

I think we could trade down 5-10 spots and still get Pearsall.

If recent history holds, we'll trade up into the first round to take Malik Washington.

That eliminates Worthy to here then.  By the time Bryce does his 15 yard drop and 5 bunny hops, Worthy would be 40 yards down field, not to mention the time it would take his floater to get there...then 60 yards down field for the speedster.  The ball would fall 20 yards short.

his legs look like twigs, he gonna hold up in the NFL?

There have been some very skinny WRs coming out of college lately.  They seem to be holding up okay in the League.  The biggest thing is knowing how not to take a big hit.  These dudes know they are not turning into RBs after the catch and avoid as much contact as possible.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
