Hey thats cool...imma tell you the same thing i tell other folks we can check back on this in a years time and see if they are still the same player then. 

Sure, I dont know any more than anyone else.  Ive been wrong lots of time.  I just prefer my receivers with burst and short area quickness/change of direction.   He can get better at route running most likely but with those other things, he is who he is.  Just not my cup of tea so to speak.

The length of time it took him to break out is a concern, but on the other side of the coin is that he did break out once given the opportunity, and not in a small way. Not sure how you can't see him as a game breaker or playmaker; from what I've read, it's hard not to see him as exactly that. One draft profile (or two) that I read explicitly said that Legette is a big play waiting to happen, and one play away from winning the game. 

Moreover, I said that Tee Higgins made 50-50 balls more like 70-30  Well, Legette has that trait right now (on an off note, someone actually used my "70-30" term in one of their draft profiles or articles on Legette, but I believe I used it on the Huddle first). Legette is a bully ball demigod. The only reason I don't call him a jump ball god yet is because he isn't in the NFL. 

It's just something to think about. I don't know what we're going to do, but I know that Kiper's latest mock has Detroit taking Legette in the first. I do know that if he's somehow there at 65, someone needs to break their ankle getting the card to the podium. 

people penalizing him for not breaking out earlier with a coach grad assistant or WR playing QB....

Apparently, there have been some team leaks about Leggette and his medicals which should resolve this banter.

Some guys are just gamers. X strikes me as a gamer. I'll take a bully ball catcher. Honestly, that's Tee Higgins' calling card.

-5 to +15 yards past the LOS is where Young will probably live (or die). 

I consider finding players who can consistently win a contested catch battle to be  super highly important because the deep ball range isn’t gonna be so deep.  Winning a race downfield probably puts the defender closer to where ball ends up and you are gonna need that ability to succeed.

I don’t see long striders as valuable to us, at all. In 2.7 or less, speed probably won’t do as much as grip strength, which is a weird thing. We are not on well trodden ground here.

Feels like he will be our guy if he's still on the board. If Smitty approved him then you know the franchise will listen to his advice on WRs. 

I believe that what Smitty has to say will be respected, but that it will be one point of evaluation among several. Unlike some, I may give him more credence (especially as it pertains to his analysis), and suspect that some on the Panthers will too, but I don't believe they're just picking who Smitty likes. All that being said, there's a lot to like about Legette. It's going to come down to why one believes that there was an explosion of productivity in what amounts to his Super Senior year, and whether one believes that Legette's traits will translate to the NFL.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
