Working out Deandre Hopkins today

[SauceBoss]

Wish you people would give up on drafting a WR in the first.

Wish you people would give up on drafting a WR in the first.

Wish you would wake up and see the legitimacy of the need paired with the available talent makes it a very realistic possibility and hope.

[BigSyke]

lol^^

[BigSyke]

hes decent dont know about at 14 though.

[SauceBoss]

Well when he's our #3 or #4 receiver, or doesn't pan out in camp, and we're getting torched for 500+ yards every week b/c we don't have a starting caliber corner, you'll see what's up.

[Growl]

Team works out player.

Fan complains about Huddle's draft mentality.

Expects to be seen as some sort of draft guru

Gets made fun of

Gets mad

Gets banned

Are we witnessing this year's birth of the annual offseason tradition?

Stay tuned

[Miiikey]

Offence is the best defence?.. :)

[MtnJax]

reality is, it doesn't matter if you or me think he is worth the 14th pick. if the guys who are getting paid to do the scouting think he is worth the pick at 14, then so be it. Gettleman is known for his scouting background and if he thinks Hopkins is worth the 14th pick, then he should be worth it

We're one sprained ankle away from the following group:

LaFell (possession receiver)

Gettis (late round guy who hasn't played in 2 seasons)

Pilares (hasn't done anything, can't crack the line-up)

Edwards (is Armanti Edwards)

Adams (can't actually catch a football)

Toss Murphy (the ghost of Drew Carter) in there if we re-sign him for minimum wage.

Yeah, we're good.

Not impressed with the 4.57 40, but he looks pretty damn good.

Route running and hands are often overlooked in favor of speed. Nuk > Sammy as a WR.

or a hammy, broken bone etc.

At Smitty's age and with his style of play....you gotta think that him putting in back to back 16 game seasons means odds favor something happening soon

[Doc Holiday]

Normally I would agree with you, but for a future WR 1 in a vertical offense I think long speed does matter. It's not the end all be all by any means, but I'd like it better if he was in the high 4.4 or low 4.5.

If he can play then he can play, but for a first rounder I want as few "negatives" as possible and for me that's a negative.

Just started looking him up since his name has popped up

2 other 40 times 4.41 and 4.46, if he's got that speed(good but not elite) good route runner and good hands I'd say take him, speed is not the end all be all for recievers I usually like Good hands and Route running, but if they are slow it can also be a deal breaker

Think about who we have in the secondary and use the same logic.

I'm less concerned about durability and more concerned about longevity, the people on here acting like Smith is just going to continue to be smith need to get a grip.

Smith has clearly lost a step, his advantages now though are experience, his legendary quick first step and being a being the competitor that he is, which will carry him further then most but with that said he's past his peak and clearly on the down swing of his career.

We need to make a serious effort to find a replacement and if not via WR maybe if we can get another baller at TE like Olsen and do the two TE threat like NE.
