Legette 18th ranked 1st rounder

[mav1234]

Interesting take...

"Legette had an opportunity to disrupt the seeding in the NFC playoffs in the final minutes of a battle against the Eagles in Philadelphia but dropped the potential game-winning touchdown in that contest. Drops (eight) plagued the former South Carolina star. As expected, he was a force after the catch, with eight forced missed tackles on just 49 receptions"

2nd lowest ranked receivers.  Only player lower barely played all year due to injury (and still basically outplayed Legette lol)

Hopefully he makes a big step next year. We did see flashes this year, and I'm hoping the drops get better when his wrist is fixed.

#18 is being kind imo

Going from 32 to 18 is a major compliment. If you put any credence in the list he raised his stock more than any other receiver in round 1 with 14 spots.....tied with Worthy.

I do think injuries were affecting him down the stretch. But gotta work on them hands catches and to stop leaving the ground unnecessarily

I don't think he is nearly as bad as many huddles want to make him out to be

He is not a bust. Going to be a solid player. But won’t be the #1 we hoped he could be. We being the staff.

Correction. Brian Thomas Jr was the biggest jump by a significant margin.

After what we just experienced with Bryce it's hard for me to be worried about XL.

[CRA]

I think the only real difference in KB and XL's rookie seasons.....was KB got more targets.

I wouldn't give up on him yet; he's a hard-worker and was a late bloomer at South Carolina before having a big year his last year there.   He will get there.

[Wolfcop]

He made a move on Sunday that really impressed me. I think you’ll see vast improvement next year from him. You can tell he really cares about getting better. 

[Ricky Spanish]

The thing that impressed me the most about his game this season was his route running and ability to get open.

He's already using his frame and agility to his advantage, he doesn't play small until the ball gets near him, then the alligator arms come out and he tries to body catch. He dropped a ton of balls, but he was also open enough to drop them. Hopefully getting his wrist fixed and then an entire offseason on the Jugs machine can help him out.

xl Should be compared to Keon Coleman and McConkey vs any of the first round receivers (and specifically Coleman due to the pick swap)

Coleman is a tossup. McConkey certainly looks like the better pick currently but I’d argue he was in a much better position this year with stability at the qb position.

Sure for Coleman, but I don't agree re: McConkey. Ladd is a slot guy while XL + Keon are outside WRs.
