Any measurables?

 

 

I am aware what Google is and how to use it but I cannot access atm.

Yep he is 6'2" 215. He ran a 4.39-4.43 at his pro day. If I recall, basketball was his first sport. The reason I see him as a poor man's Woods is that I think he is more of a possession WR but didn't put up anywhere near the numbers of Woods and for the Big 10, he played in a very aggressive offense.

Since when is a guy with speed in the 4.4 range a 'possession' receiver?

And I would put Woods in that category either.

It's just that our passing game was so dysfuntional last year, we couldn't take advantage of all his ability.

I would have no problem with this as later round developmental pick. But picking him in the third would be like picking TJ in the third. A huge reach when we have real needs and a lot of real talent available in those need areas that could contribute immediately. Considering the talent available above him, noway I would use a 3rd on him. Now in the 5th.

That's how he was used, from the games I saw. He didn't seem to have the ability to separate from good DBs (or even the ones at OSU).He may be fast in the straightline 40, but he didn't have the quickness or elusiveness to not go right down at contact.

 

A Big Receiver from Indiana . . . How long until we hear a comparison to a former draft pick . . .

I thought about that. Totally different players though. Many won't be able to get past the IU part.

Latimer is one of these guys that's simply an unbelievable athlete; he can explode during any one game, but then he'll have long stretches where he disappears.

Thanks - I watched the plays from the MSU game because I remembered he had a TD and that was arguably the best D in the country last year - wanted to see it was against Dennard and it was. I don't see him as a great NFL prospect but what do I know, I just really like some of the other guys better unless they are looking at him for a later round pick but with Woods in the fold I don't see the need for Latimer.

Doesn't matter. We drafted an Indiana WR once and it didn't work out well at all. Never again.

 

Ha, sadly this was my gut reaction, as foolish as it is.

I am really excited the Bills are looking at Niklas. He would be a nice fit in this offense.

big fan of Niklas. Obviously biassed because I am also an Irish fan but he filled in for Tyler Eifert very well and is only scratching the surface of his potential. I'd love to get Mike Evans in the first then Niklas in the 2nd or 3rd
