Johnson is elite at routes, foot speed, and getting space. 

His problem is rule #1 for WR, his hands are sus. We have already seen part of the reason pitt gave him away even with the elite traits. You got to catch the ball, if not nothing else matters.

It would be similar to BB players who cannot shoot jumpers, but is great at driving, layups, and free throws. Players give him the space and watch the bricks.

I think Johnson's ceiling is really a #2.   His hands aren't good enough and that 50/50 ball sort of highlights what he isn't.  He isn't a rookie like Leggette.  He basically is what he will be. 

I loved what I saw out of Leggette.  He is raw.  First real start.  Basically had Johnson numbers.  But once the game slows down....you got to like the way he already uses his body out there. 

Leggette is still raw, as you say. He dropped 2 balls and still had 66 yards.  If he did that every game, that is a 1000+ yard season.  He is body catching too much, but when he catches with his hands, the ball sticks.  I am not down on Mingo like others--he is slowly coming around and if we can have his as our #4, I am fine with him there.  Coker is the wild card.

I feel come draft time, you need to spend ANOTHER 2nd or 3rd at WR. I feel they will trade/cut AT and johnson will get paid by other team. I hate to say this, but nearly 98% that early 1st is needed at edge. Then you again go to the 2nd round WR well and try to hit on one. (pls god/s...)

Just not only need talent, but difference makers and those mainly come in the first 60 or so picks. I feel you could make a good case for CB too. I think they need to draft two edges as well. Plus in the mid-rounds they need a top backup DL. Plus by any means, get a NT if this 3-4 must continue.....too many problems.

feel like I need to bump some of those old Robbie Anderson is better than DJ Moore and we got to pay that guy even we got to overpay him a little threads…. 

 

In their defense Johnson is a much more talented WR than Robbie was… Robbie was a one trick pony. Johnson is good at the whole route tree. However I do understand the point you are making. Any WR that looks halfway decent we want to throw money at.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
