(12/21/18) The talent in Kelvin Harmon is undeniable and the hype around him should start to accelerate as we get closer to the draft. There’s a clear deficiency in the athleticism in Harmon’s game as he lacks the top end speed and quickness of true number one receivers. However, outside of that Harmon is the dominant, physical athlete that you look for in your number one. His strong hands and grittiness make him a reliable target on every single play. Harmon shows a great ability to track and adjust to the ball which gives him nearly an unlimited catch radius. While some footwork is lacking, Harmon has one of the more complete route trees for a receiver at the college level. Overall, Harmon has a well developed game and should have a strong transition to the NFL level. Harmon is a late first round pick in terms of talent, but a sub 4.45 40 time could boost him into the top 10.

Review:
(9/5/18) There is no question surrounding the gifted talent that Deebo Samuel has. Samuel has the potential of an elite receiver with the athleticism he presents. He’s got the special aggression that you only see in receivers like Antonio Brown and Julio Jones. Samuel shows the type of ability to catch any ball that comes near him, the type of receiver who has an unlimited catch radius. He’s just an absolute force in the receiving game with an extremely athletic skill set. However, the issue with Samuel is his injuries. Through the last three seasons, Samuel has played just 18 games. In 2017, Samuel broke his leg causing him to miss the second half of the season. The true concern with Samuel’s injuries though, is his lingering hamstring issues. Hamstring injuries don’t typically disappear. The injuries are going to put general managers in a tough spot with Samuel. He’s got surefire number one receiver talent in the NFL, but these injuries are going to keep him off the field.
(1/02) Samuel is the closest thing to a number one receiver that this draft class has to offer. Samuel is equipped with a stocky, stout body and the athleticism needed to dominate opposing secondaries in the NFL. Samuel has a mix of everything and is reminicsent of Sammy Watkins coming out of Clemson. If you can be forgiving of his past injuries, Samuel is worthy of a top 8 pick in the draft. Samuel has a well developed game coming out of school. His strong hands and aggressive nature are a welcoming sight at the receiving position. Samuels displays a good mix of agility, acceleration and footwork to be able to create separation at any level of the field. It’s hard to ignore his past hamstring issues and only see his talent though, and this will drop Samuel a bit in the draft, likely into the second round.

(1/03) N’Keal Harry plays a very physical and dominant brand of football, relying on his power and strength to make plays. He plays with the aggressive, go-get-it attitude that is required to be a number one receiver. Strong suddenness in his route running allows him to create quick separation from his defender. His size combined with his ball tracking, body control and strong hands make him a threat all over the field. Harry is a receiver that you could describe using the cliche as always open. The most dangerous part of Harry’s game comes after he already has the ball in his hands, his strength and balance make it extremely hard for a defensive back to being him to the ground. While Harry has a lot of strengths to his game and very little weaknesses, he lacks any true eye popping skills to suggest that he will be an elite receiver. Harry will be a quality starting receiver and can be the top receiver on his team, but it’s unlikely for him to join the likes of a Julio, AB or Deandre Hopkins type receiver.

(1/02) JJ Arcega-Whiteside is a very fundamentally clean and sound receiver. Whiteside’s lack of athleticism will hold him back from being a number one receiver in the NFL, but he has a rounded enough game to produce as a solid number two. Whiteside has a very similar game to Robert Woods. The body control and adjustment that Whiteside displays makes him a threat at every level of the field. His positioning is tremendous and allows him to practically eliminate the defensive back from most plays. Whiteside plays a very tactical style of football, he’s a receiver that would thrive in a Patriot style system. Despite his lack of athleticism and overall quickness, his attention to detail allows him to create separation from his defender.

Review:
(1/06) Emanuel Hall possesses an innate athletic skill set. Hall may be one of the most athletic receivers in a draft class that’s lacking elite speed at the top of the boards. This speed and quickness allows Hall to often times run right past the opposing defensive backs. Raw and unpolished footwork can and should be improved, but this quick burst allows Hall to break out of his cuts with momentum and loads of speed. At any level of the field Hall excels at creating separation and putting a gap between he and his defender. While he pulls in passes with his hands and is rarely ever seen body catching, Hall is a little passive and rarely attacks the ball. He’ll mostly be able to create separation solely with his speed and athleticism, but bigger and stronger defensive backs at the next level may be able to get away with bullying Hall a little bit. Hall doesn’t play a very physical game and he will struggle against defensive backs that can match his speed. The rare athleticism that Hall presents, especially in this receiving class filled more with size than speed, will keep Hall near the top of the boards.

(1/02) DaMarkus Lodge is a strong vertical receiver with the speed and burst to create separation down the field. At times Lodge has exceptional hands and makes Odell Beckham like catches, but then he’ll drop must have balls. The Ole Miss style of offense is going to hurt Lodge’s draft stock as there isn’t much tape on Lodge running different routes. Lodge lacks physicality in his game but he makes up for it with a more finesse style of play.

Review:
(1/02) There’s no looking past the potential that Hakeem Butler shows on the field. It starts with his 6’5” frame and enormous catch radius making him a viable option on any play. Butler goes at the ball with his hands and rarely ever relies on body catches. His size and ball tracking ability make him a threat on any route; he affords his quarterback a little bit of leeway with inaccurate balls. His effort level allows you to be a little forgiving with the holes in his game. Butler’s large frame comes with its downfalls, as it hurts his agility and acceleration. Subpar footwork and a small route tree hurt Butler’s chances to be a true number one at the NFL level. While Butler correctly uses his hands when going for the ball, he does so passively and this results in concentration drops and contested drops that need to be had. Overall, Butler’s weaknesses are things that can be overcame and his strengths are mostly unteachable which make him a very intriguing prospect.

(1/02) AJ Brown has a very unique and specific skill set that will be most valuable out of the slot. Very methodical and strict footwork makes Brown a threat on quickly developed routes. He consistently finds himself open in the middle of the field 5-15 yards downfield. Quick and choppy feet make it easy for him to create separate on slant and in routes. He struggles against press and is easily jammed to the outside, this combined with a low end top speed eliminates his threat downfield. Brown’s stout and stocky body allows him to stand tall in the middle of the field and eat powerful hits.

(1/7) It’s hard to judge the value to David Sills game, he’s a very quietly talented receiver. At the surface, Sills doesn’t look like a very skillful receiver. He has very average speed, he isn’t too great with his quickness and his hands can be a touch underwhelming. However, the more you watch Sills game, the more talent you see. He has very deceiving footwork that allows him to create surprising separation. His footwork and route running ability combined with his size and length allows him to have a huge catch radius.

Review:
(1/06) Parris Campbell’s tape shows very little refined receiving experience. Campbell may be the NFL’s next best gadget tool given the right offensive coordinator. Given space and room, Campbell’s ability to create on his own makes him an extremely dangerous weapon. He’s strongest on shallow crossing routes, screen plays and anything that gets him the ball underneath with an open field to work with. Campbell has a great awareness of zone coverage, on his shallow routes he displays the knowledge to sit down and wait in the openings between zones. With the new wave of innovative offensive minds in the NFL, the right team will get great use out of Campbell and his abiilty to create in the open field. He has a very agile game and a remarkable knack to smoothly move through the field. However, in the wrong system, Campbell doesn’t have the overall talent to succeed. A very limited route tree along with inconsistent hands limits Campbell’s game to routes within five yards of the line of scrimmage or deep shots. Campbell doesn’t seem to have enough talent to just naturally be on the field in your starting lineup and rather he’ll require plays specifically designed for him.

Review:
(1/06) Anthony Johnson is a very fundamentally sound receiver, he’s average in every definition of the word. Good at everything but great at nothing, Johnson plays a very similar game to Jordan Matthews. While Johnson was able to excel in the MAC, totaling 25 touchdowns in two years, his subpar athleticism is a little concerning when talking about transitioning to the next level. Johnson has below average speed and lacks the quickness and burst to create easy separation from his defender. Aside from Johnson’s athleticism, he has an extremely well-rounded game. He has good choppy footwork that gives him clean breaks in his routes which is a necessity considering his lack of burst. Combining these clean breaks with his strong and reliable hands makes Johnson a trustworthy receiver and a plausible bail out option when the quarterback is under pressure. Possibly the most impressive aspect of Johnson’s game is his ability to create after the catch. He has great balance and strength thus making it hard for smaller defensive backs to tackle him. It’s hard to gauge Johnson’s style of play as a non power five receiver. His lack of athleticism could ruin his transition to the NFL, or his well-rounded game could make him an average starter. It’s more tempting to take a receiver like Parris Campbell who has exceptional athletic ability and try to coach the rest of his game, than an Anthony Johnson with mediocre athleticism and hope that his game will elevate enough to make up for his athleticism.

(12/14) DK Metcalf is a dazzling highlight reel when he’s on the field, his all-around athletic ability makes him a physical specimen. However, the only intangible receiving talent that Metcalf shows as a receiver is his release off the line and ability to create separation. Other than that, Metcalf has subpar hands, an inexperienced route tree and a full injury history. A broken foot in 2016 and a neck surgery in 2018 make Metcalf’s health very questionable and a high risk.

Review:
(1/7) The footwork and route running that Riley Ridley shows at the peak of his game is something to pay attention too. This will be the selling point for Ridley throughout the draft process. He doesn’t show any exceptional talent or athleticism to make him an enticing draft pick, but his sharp breaks and cuts are a point to build on. He shows the ability to release off the line well and a step past his defender cleanly. After Ridley is open, he has strong hands on his catches and a large catch radius showing that he can adjust his body to the ball. There’s an inconsistency and a lack of athleticism to Ridley’s game that is going to hold his draft stock back. He shows no real speed or acceleration to be able to pull away from opposing defensive backs, and his inconsistency within his production and game speed is a real concern. At his peak, Ridley looks to be able to develop into a viable option on the field, however, at his floor, Ridley isn’t going to see playing time because his inconsistency and his wavering route running won’t be enough to put him on the field.

His explosiveness makes him look to translate as quite the gadget weapon, but gadgets don’t always work out. Brown has lightning fast acceleration and speed that allows him to disappear in the open field. Despite a small route tree, his footwork gives the impression that he’ll be able to run NFL level routes. While Brown shows inconsistent hands, his ability to track the ball is exceptional. A lack of size is going to severely take away from Brown’s talent and could make the transition to the NFL a real challenge.

(1/04) Unfortunately for those that fanboy the massive size and body frame, Collin Johnson doesn’t project to be much more than a big bodied, high effort player. Johnson’s 6’5” size along with a good habit to get up and high point the football makes him a tremendous red zone threat. He shows a knack to locate the ball and have the body control to position himself for it and the adjustments to make a play. Johnson doesn’t have the athleticism to make him a consistent threat on every down. He lacks the necessary burst and quickness to pull away from defenders as well as the vertical speed to be a deep threat. Poor footwork combined with subpar athleticism kills any chance for Johnson to create separation. It’s unlikely for Johnson to translate well too the next level, but his ability in the red zone will buy him time to try and develop into a consistently reliable receiver. Improved footwork would provide the biggest jump to his game.

You’re not seeing people within the league or even media members quoting ‘execs’ or what not talking about Metcalf.
As it gets closer to the combine, his injury issues pop up more and get examined deeper, his physicals gifts start to get offset by what he lacks intangibly, he’ll start to fall. I’d bet lots of money that he won’t be the first receiver off the board, maybe not even one of the first 3.

No matter what.
You've gotta watch the film, you can’t just rely on media outlets for this stuff.
Both of these receivers are reaches in the second and maybe worth their value in the third.
Metcalf is oft-injured, has sub par hands and can’t run routes.
Hollywood Brown weighs 170 pounds and also has sub par hands. He’s so small that when he’s holding the ball it almost looks as big as a toddler in his hands. 170 pounds is how much i weigh, and i’m typing this behind a screen while taking a deuce on my toilet (ala, 170 pounds doesn’t take you to the NFL). He was 138 pounds going into college so it’s unlikely he’s going to add much more weight to his frame.
These guys just just come from big market pipeline schools so it was easy for the media to find them, expect their draft stock to fall towards draft time and new names like Kelvin Harmon will be the ones we’re hearing about and eventually seeing go in the first round.

Pats need this game in a big way.
I was excited for this game thinking we’d see a big day from Josh and a possible upset in foxboro until i saw this bold underline combo.
Then reality struck and I realized we’re likely in for a long day, back-to-back losses and a 9-5 record? The Patriots first year in 8 year that they won’t eclipse 12 wins?
The Patriots are declining but they haven’t disappeared yet, these past couples weeks were nothing more than a wake up call. Unfortunately I think they have a big win brewing in foxboro and a meltdown looming here in Buffalo.

Not exaclty; but I'm also early in the process compared to where I was at this time last year.
Deebo Samuel is a unique talent, but a troubled injury history will likely keep him out of a Bills uniform, and even if we did take the gamble on him, I wouldn't expect much out of him.

Just finished up some tape on Metcalf.. Why so much love?
I see a riddled injury history, broken feet and neck surgeries don't just disappear. These are recurring injuries. His athletic talent is surely bright and dazzling, but what about the intangible receiving skills? Those matter too. He's got very, very limited experience in a complete route tree, almost all of his (little) production came from vertical routes and he had extremely inconsistent hands. He's a low day 2, high day 3 project pick. I don't see a first rounder and solution at number one receiver out of him.

In a college football forum that's not that popular, I figured it's better to keep all of these in the same thread.
Trey Adams, thought to be a first round pick both this year and last year, is out for the year with a back injury. His year ended last year with a torn ACL. Those are two devastating injuries to try and stay healthy with.-

Coming into today, I was a big fan of Jarrett Stidham, he continues to impress. He may be the best QB in the 2019 class.
Derrick Brown is making a name for himself. I was only able to watch him on tape for one game last year, he looked a little raw but today he's looking like a complete prospect with second round, or maybe even late first, potential.
Jake Browning has very little NFL potential. His arm simply isn't strong enough and he has issues with consistency. This year is about whether he's a mid round pick solid for a backup spot, or a late round pick coming in as a camp arm fighting for a roster spot.
Myles Gaskin is a smaller and less athletic version of Christian McCaffrey. He's got good quickness and agility but his lack of athleticism is going to kill him in the NFL, looks like a middle of the road pick.
Trey Adams missing the game is killing him. A torn ACL and now missing this game with a back injury, those are injuries that linger and will hurt his draft stock.

I chose the Vikings, but the Bears will surprise and put up a serious fight.
If Mitch could take a step forward, there’s serious weapons on the team. They signed Trey Burton who I think will surprise a little bit and perform much like his mentor in Zach Ertz.
Allen Robinson and Taylor Gabriel give a good one two punch with size and physicality verse speed and deep threat. Anthony Miller is going to come out and really surprise from the slot, he’s got a tremendous skill set and I’m very surprised he slid as far as he did in the draft. This guy is going to develop very similarly to OBJ.
Then you’ve got a terrific backfield in the proven Howard and the sophomore in Tarik Cohen.
If Mitch can pull it together, this unproven offense should turn in a much more consistent performance this year to go along with an already solid defense.

Why the !@#$ is this thread a thing? Go tinder somewhere else.
Just out of curiosity.
Its better than implying that the Falcons would accept Jerry Hughes and a 2nd for Julio Jones.
Or that Fred Jackson, Adrian Peterson and the freshly retired Demarco Murray are going to replace Lesean McCoy, in case of his absence that doesn’t seem to be coming to fruition.
Or even that a 2 QB style offense in the likes of a ‘relief’ QB is going to take over the NFL.
Now, where you would have gotten me is if you asked why i posted it in this forum because there’s probably better boards I could’ve placed this poll in. My apologies for that.

I’ve noticed that it seems a lot of the content on this board varies by age.
While it’s hard to tell most people’s ages directly, it’s easy to be swayed in a certain direction by the tone of their posts.
This got me curious about where the majority of the board is aged, my guess is that most of the people here are between 30-50, which is kind of the opposite of what i’d expect. With it being the internet I would think that it’d be a little younger of a crowd.
Feel free to comment and share your age, but if not, I left the voting private.

- Giants and the Bears both produce top 15 offenses.
- Bears win atleast 8 games.
- Nate Peterman starts week one.
- Deshaun Watson doesn’t play nearly as well as expected.
- Patriots still win AFCe, but Brady starts his downfall.

As a true Sophomore, 67.5 % completion percentage, good for almost 10 YPA. Are you sure you’ve seen Herbert play? Please explain how he has “big arm” but “velocity average at best.”
I admittedly need to watch him more before i’ve got any sort of final opinion on him, and that’s with a whole season upcoming, but yes i’ve watched him against Arizona and Arizona State.
What I mean in the difference between arm strength and velocity is that he can chuck the ball 70-80 yards, but he can’t necessarily zip it into a tight window 15 yards downfield.

Draft Breakdown is alright. They aren't updated for the 2019 class yet, but you can search individual names and some old film may be available.
draft breakdown hasn’t been updated since around january now though.
they made you pay that $2 for the membership and then stopped uploading videos.

I've seen a lot of Herbert near the top of quarterback boards.. If this stays true into the draft, we're looking at an extremely down year for quarterback's. I see a lot of Josh Allen in Herbert, except Herbert is a worse version.
He shows good arm strength and mobility, but his accuracy is horrid. While he's got a big arm, his velocity is average at best.
That being said, Herbert is the only quarterback I've watched thus far and haven't put any work into Drew Lock who is another consensus pick at the top of quarterback boards.

For the guys that watch full film rather than highlight reels on these players..
Are there any resources outside of a youtube search?

That wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. That scenario would likely mean we trade out for multiple firsts (get top OL and WR later in the round) or get the top edge rusher to go along with top FAs.
If next year is supposed to be the year, i doubt we’d trade out in this scenario. Grab the elite guy at the top of the board and stack as much top heavy talent as possible.

I’ll have to look into Tyre Brady.
There’s a couple of names missing, I’ll be sure to add them through the weeks leading into the draft.
