@RickyProehl: Cold day in Baton Rouge. Tiger Stadium http://t.co/uOEfuGSOwQ

Looking at OBJ and landry obviously, have a better shot to get landry in the second

[WOW!!]

I wouldn't touch Landry until the 3rd.

Landry will be lucky to end up like Jason Avant

[KissMyConverse]

Either we are doing exactly what we said we were going to do and that is draft a WR early OR this is the greatest smokescreen any team has ever run...

There is nothing wrong with being similar to Jason Avant.

Not really. It's just our team doing it's due diligence.

 

We have no idea how the draft will play out, and who will fall to us at 28. We need to make sure that Gman has his big board to his liking, since we will most likely be going BPA. 

 

It's not like our entire coaching staff and Gman has been personally visiting these WRs. It's our WR coach taking the time to visit and evaluate all potential prospects (aka doing his job).

No to Landry.  Like someone here, or an article said, Landry only got by in college because of his great ball skills.  Corners in the NFL are a whole different level, the guy has a 30 inch vertical, an barely get under 4.6, and is 5'11.  He lacks explosiveness and could be covered by most NFL linebackers.

I would take Landry in the 2nd!!!

I read yesterday that Landry is plummeting down draft boards, while OBJ is moving up and

might get taken before our first pick.

APRIL 13, 2014Print This

This was the last big week for pro days before the draft. The two main workouts were held by LSU and Penn State. All 32 teams sent at least one person. There were also a couple of small schools who have draftable players that worked this week, Bloomsburg (PA) and McNeese State (LA).

 

Penn State

 

As usual, Penn State always has some top prospects, but primarily receiver Allen Robinson. Robinson’s combine workout was just average, so he needed a big day to maintain lofty draft status. He came through. He ran the 40 twice and ran 4.47 and 4.51. His vertical jump was outstanding at 42”. He also had an excellent three–cone with a 6.58 time.

 

I really like Robinson on tape and gave him a first round grade, but his slow time at the combine dropped him a little. This week’s workout may get him drafted at the bottom of the first round, but more likely high in the second.

 

Defensive tackle DaQuan Jones weighed 324 and only performed one measurable drill, the short shuttle. His time improved to 4.63. His position drill work was very good, and I see Jones going in the top part of the third round, maybe as high as the bottom of the second.

 

LSU

 

LSU always has a number of highly rated prospects and this year is no different. Some feel as many as 10 or 11 LSU players could get drafted this year. The two most important people to workout at LSU this week were receiver Jarvis Landry and quarterback Zach Mettenberger. Landry carried a first round grade into the combine, and then ran and jumped very poorly, while Mettenberger had ACL surgery less than five months ago.

 

Landry worked better than at Indy, but still not good enough to get him back in the first round. He ran over 4.7 at the combine and showed improvement this week. I got times from three different scouts, and the range of times went from 4.58 to 4.63. When you average them out, he is a 4.60 type receiver. He also improved in the jumps, going 30.5” in the vertical and 9’5” in the standing long jumps. By wide receiver standards, those are very average. His short shuttle was 4.57 and his three-cone was 7.55. Again, very average when compared to other receivers.

 

Landry’s tape makes him look like a first round pick, but his workout says late pick. There have been other very good NFL receivers who have had average workout numbers. What will happen with Landry remains to be seen. At this time, I predict he goes somewhere in the third or fourth round.

Landry sucks I wouldn't even take him in the 4th.
