Ricky Proehl and Don Gregory having dinner with WR Lattimer

[Kuech the Sneak]

I have to believe we are one of those teams with how much we've met with him. Somewhat of a risk, but this guy could seriously be AJ Green- lite if everything falls together.

Was just thinking that we could we one of those teams given the interest we've shown. Still think there will be better players at 28

Uh...Latimer in the first? I don't think so. Let some other team do that. We can take other wide outs in the second.

It's becoming obvious that he is the 4th or 5th ranked WR on teams boards. Look at his size, athleticism, production, and tape you see a late 1st early 2nd round prospect. Plus he catches every damn ball.

According to a source close to his camp, WR Cody Latimer has been told by as many as 3 #NFL teams that they would draft him in the late-1st.

 

 

My guess would be us and Seattle. Not sure about the 3rd team. I could see SanFran. Hopefully it's not San Diego or New Orleans.

[Soul Rebel]

He is a 4.4 guy those guys ran like 4.6 but are bigger.

Like a faster Hakeem Nicks. A Torrey Smith?

Agree on both comparisons. IMO, he's a Torrey Smith - Julio Jones lite.... Or dare I say a 4.4/39" vertical Muhsin Muhammad? Kid still needs some polish, but his blocking, physical nature, hands and speed are very enticing.

I would say this is my number one pick. Its time we get aggressive with WR.

he was in San Diego several days ago, so i would say they do have a lot of interest.

[DaCityKats]

Brandon Marshall mixed with some VIncent Jackson, maybe?

 

i see a Brandon Marshall with deep speed. he just bullies guys like Marshall does, but can run past them, or thru them.

I'm increasingly getting the feeling that we don't go receiver in the first.

Yep.  I've heard SD is reportedly targeting him in round 1.  

 

I don't know what people don't see in his game/is missing that somehow makes him awesome in the second round but out of the question in the first.  I think people just don't trust prospects that flew up pre-draft rankings out of nowhere.

I got the same feeling watching his film.

"The Cody Latimer hype is very real, gentlemen, both in the media and around the league. Generating legitimate first round buzz."

Chargers blogger:

"The buzz on Cody Latimer has him skyrocketing up to the first round in the draft. His combination of speed and size has all the scouts talking about his skills and he is making an epic rise up draft boards."
