Interesting article about WR propects

[Mother Grabber]

Looks at Watkins, Evans, Benjamin and Lee, highlighting where they caught the ball, what they did with it after catching, their break and their hands:

Makes Evans look like the most attractive prospect to me, and Watkins looks like a one trick pony.  Benjamin would definitely be a steal late 1st or early 2nd, when compared to the others.

Benjamin's drops scare me.

 

I like his build though.

I would take any of the four. Sgt.... According to the statistics Lee had more drops so I'm not sure why you are skeptical of Benjamin.

[C47]

Really should have used Lee's 2012 numbers with an actual QB and a healthy Lee. The metrics would look a good bit different if they did. Obviously there's no comparison when you miss as many games as he did, and have Kessler throwing you the ball instead of elite college QBs like Boyd, Manziel and Winston.

 

Meh whatever...

whats Benjamin hand size. cause if there big his drops or likely due to lack of concentration. he definitely didn't drop that game winner when it matter I know that

This is why stats can suck.  The article does not take into account the system that was being run, the offensive personal, or the defense scheme or personal they were playing against.

I really hope Lee drops to us.  He has glimpses of Reggie Wayne in him at times.  Didn't realize his drop % was that high though

He has a mitten.

That's always been my hope if we go wide receiver, it'll be tough if he or a top tackle falls to our pick

Mike Evans reminds me of V-Jax and Andre Johnson. That guy is going to be a stud for someone.

I don't like his injury history but I could see him being someone that gets passed over for that reason and then has a big year.

Moncrief and Matthews are better than at least 3 of these guys

Very interesting analysis.  I saw one similar earlier this week.

 

I still feel like Watkins would be the best player for us due to his sheer explosiveness, ability to run the WR screen game (bring'in back the Dan Henning playbook!), and his ability to be a big play receiver.

 

Evens is a bit of an enigma to me.  Is he a guy like Alson Jeffries who just looked like a big ole' jump baller, or someone who can come in and do everything at his size?  That article mentioned Evans' ability to run sharp square routes, which will get him open a lot.  And it seems like he's a good enough mover and shaker in the field to make something happen after the catch...  Plus it would be super awesome for Cam to be able to heave a ball up, and know that Evans has the ability to make the play, anywhere!

 

I just like to read the stuff a lot.  Matthews and Moncrief both have interesting profiles.  I'm glad there are pro's who can do this stuff because the Draft is such a crap shoot...

Odell has to have the biggest hands of all the receivers.
