I wish there was some way to get Watkins and Brett Hundley :(

I watch some UCLA games but I don't think he that strong of an arm. But he does go through his progression quite well. What do you see from Hundley? Just wanna know your opinion.

hmm to me it seems like he has a really good arm, i go to all the games at the rose bowl. last night he made a couple bad decisions. I think he has a good arm and great accuracy he has made 2 perfect back shoulder throws for TD's and he is really good at sitting a WR down in a tight spot. He makes good reads and stays in the pocket as long as he can, but he can also run..he's fast. He's only a red shirt sophomore so I think he stays one more year though, Walterfootball had him the #1 pick for 2015.

Thanks. Based on this he sounds legit. So many potential franchise QBs are popping up yearly. Looks like the Clausens are things of the pass.

The key with receivers is release, catching and route running. Most big-time college receiver get let-down by the first as they aren't used to playing against good press coverage in the NFL. Receivers who might not go high in the draft but who have proved themselves against he press in college are usually the biggest steals, e.g. Steve Smith and Keenan Allen. 

 

Watkins is a very good receiver but has yet to show he can get release from press coverage. Until he can show that then he is always going to be a but of a risk, much like Tavon Austin last year.

 

Marquise Lee has faced good press coverage in college, but he has really struggled against it. When he went man-to-man against Ipre-Olumu vs Oregon last year he looked nothing like an NFL 1st rounder. A big play receiver who will not develop into an every-down guy, similar to Ted Ginn in many ways.

 

Mike Evans is the best receiver in the class. At 6'5 225lbs he is a match-up nightmare. He has good hands and gets very good release, just watch the 'Bama game for evidence. Although he might not have the speed of Watkins or Lee he is a far more pro-ready WR, with just as much upside.

 

Summary: PLEASE GET EVANS!

I'm not sure what game you were watching, but Ifo pressed Lee four total times last year. One of them was blatant holding in the end zone that wasn't called. Two others Lee beat the press pretty well, got open enough to make the catch but didn't finish the play. The other Ifo held and was called. Those are the only plays Lee was pressed by Ifo. Other Oregon DBs pressed him in that game too, and he had a decent amount of success against those too. Lee still needs to get better against the press to be elite like most guys, and at times he can struggle against more physical corners, but to make a general statement that he struggles against press like it's a way to negate his impact just isn't accurate....

      Rookie PFF Grades

      Got to give some credit to the coaching staff on these. You can grab top talents but without good coaching, they just fizzle out. We've seen that a lot around here.

      Oh, no TV for tonight's game unless you have the NHL Network, I believe. I could be wrong, hopefully?

      Rookie PFF Grades

      By t96 · Posted

      Early returns are great and exciting but also worth noting that Gettleman had a few drafts that looked incredible early on and wound up mostly sucking (2014 mainly). Also PFF; grain of salt, etc.    I'm completely sold on Tet being a stud, knocked a high pick out of the park like we needed to and always should. Nearly sold on Scourton. Not sold on Princely but he had flashes. Not sold on Etienne as more than a 3rd stringer and special teamer, but that's not terrible for his draft position. Big fan of Ransom and think he'll be a starter.  Cam Jackson : IDK, I see limited upside but we didn't see much of him Evans was a nice find for draft position and he had a great rookie year for a late round rookie TE with plenty of veteran competition. Not sure about his upside though, seems like best case is a long term #2/3 TE, which isn't bad. Jimmy Horn, personally I didn't see a damn thing from him that impressed me all year. And he got a lot of opportunities. Pulling for the kid, but not convinced he's an NFLer.   UDFA: Fitzgerald was an amazing find
