This kid was 0.08s faster at the same size, no? 0.08s over 40 yards is practically irrelevant in actual football

 

I'm not against RR  just seems that 4.53 is slow for his size

Ray Ray was 4.49 at his pro day, Proehl didn't get an invite to even run at the actual combine.

 

Didn't see that, let's hope they are both pro bowlers

Proehl would have been fine as an UDFA camp body. Just a waste of a pick, which at the second to last who really cares, but I just don’t get the thinking in the second half of this draft. 

That's because it's not like you envisioned.  It's Beane and McDermott's vision and we don't have the blueprints.  You just gotta believe.

Everyone is saying he's a slot guy, and maybe he does project that position in the pros, but on this video and game in particular, he plays wide all the time. 

 

 

 

I like this pick. 

 

He looks like a NE Patriot receiver!     Daboll must have picked this kid...

Which OC has worked under a coach who's been destroying the league with a bunch of nobody slot utility receivers?

So if you’re white, you automatically are an over achiever if you make it in the NFL at a skill position. Like all white pass rushers are high motor, lunch pale type... not real talent. Do you consider black scientists as over achievers in thinking capacity? I’m just wondering where we draw the line here. 

 

.......you know what they say about those high motor pale WRs

Wes Welker wasn't drafted and had to walk on with the Chargers to even get a shot in the NFL.

 

It's unreal that every year people are bitter about 3rd day draft choices, as if ANY of them are guaranteed successes.

Hey I’m not complaining about it. Yes there are exceptions to the rule. I’m just saying people tend to overvalue our own players. This guy might end up being a very good player and I hope he does obviously. But at the end of the day he was the 70th rated WR in the draft and there’s the possibility he doesn’t even make the team. I’m not bitter at all I think we had a great draft. Beane didn’t reach for need, he drafted the best player in his board. I give our draft an A

Wonder if this was a "favor" tyoe of pick.

 

If it works it’s inside information — if it flops it’s a favor.

Allegedly scouts clocked him (Ray) sub 4.4 at a workout

Here is the new message board hero. The new Reilly. I do really like the pick. There is something to be said for bloodlines and maybe he becomes Welker-Amendola-insert overachieving white receiver. I'm excted! 

 

After his year on the PS I am looking forward to his OTA's/camp.

It may have had an impact.

Great pick, can contribute.

Watched a lot of UNC football last couple years.  Switzer was the go to guy for Trubisky in 2016 but Proehl made some real clutch catches as well.  His yd/rec was actually higher than Switzer that year.  Last year his ave was 16 yds/catch - came back from what was thought for sure to be season ending injury (broken clavicle) to play last two games

I think they're giving away the type of offense they're going to run.

We draft a qb that thrives on throwing bombs.    How deep is our slot going to be?

Not does seem contradicting to get the raw, deep ball qb and then stock up on intermediate route timing style options 

 

I’m curious to see it come together

Does he get to fulfill the duties of Mr. Irrelevant should he not be able to? 

 

Yes. If Mr. Irrelevant goes on to make something of himself, this kid will step up into the irrelevance spot that was vacated.
