People said Nuke Hopkins can't separate enough to be elite. Yet all he does is make plays AB - was suppose to be a special teams gem...not turn into the best WR in the league. Mike Evans doesn't have elite speed for his size... the NFL corners will press him at the line...yet he's a top WR. ODB ... Very talented... but more of a slot WR... Man ... these scouting reports were saying alot...that don't mean a lick... if you can ball... you will ball out...plain & simple. When I watch DK film, all I see is him out muscling CB's or burning them... running the full route tree will come. Some guy's can do it coming out...some guy's develop they're game as time goes on... like Juilo & Megatron. DK ... should be a stud... I was beating the drum on the Bills Message Board for Mike Evans ... yet we not only traded up...but we took Sammy. The guy that was a gadget player all through college. Because OL & DL are loaded this year. WR isn't... DK is probably your only top 10 WR in this class. We need a stud... & need to stop playing around with the position or we'll be stuck with Kelvin Benjamin & the Devin Funchess's of the world at WR. We're going to waste Josh Allen (who I would like to be sold on if he can get some weapons) like Carolina is wasting Cam! Yes it's solid... but solid is safe... we need a stud for Allen. Free Agency doesn't have a DK ...you have to draft one. If the Jets don't screw up & DK falls to 9. You pull the trigger... no questions ask! I think that’s where i disagree. I do think this is a loaded WR class. I don’t think Metcalf is the best WR in the draft and don’t think he’s a top 10 player in the draft. If I’m drafting him at 9 I need both of those things to be true. So it’s just a difference of opinion. I believe there will be an elite DL or OL prospect there at 9, and that there will be a WR as good or better than Metcalf there at 40.

This is starting to remind me of that 2008 Devin Thomas-Limas Sweed- Malcolm Kelly draft. Everyone kept mocking us Thomas in the first round becuase he blew up the combine and we had a huge need there. He went in the second round with a bunch of other guys, the best of which turned out to be DeSean Jackson and Jordy Nelson. We took James Hardy and got Stevie in the seventh. That's kind of how I feel about this draft. Edited March 4, 2019 by MrEpsYtown 2
Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 No thanks. Get your WR in the second round. Hope one QB is left at 9 and trade down. Still get a top OL or TE and another pick. If two QBs are taken then sit tight and take the best edge rusher or OL. 1

All he caught was WR screens, other than that that he couldn't get separation against us. I think Butler has a chance to be a legit number 1 WR. I'm hoping we get him in round 2. As a Ducks fan (gag) you should know that ASU has issues with play calling and QB play, you should also know that this YAC is amazing and he wins contested catches.

That's kind of how I feel about this draft. That WR class was notoriously weak going into the draft yes. This year’s WRs I think is a little different from that one in part because there is such a glut of elite, high end defensive talent clogging to top of everyone’s boards. I don’t disagree completely however. I’d much rather pass on Metcalf and grab someone like Harry in the 2nd. We need help at WR badly, though, so they better do their homework and get at least one or two in the draft. 1

Does he make it to 9 after this combine? Guess you missed the combine thread . i will be happy to get him but there are so many good guys i will be happy with just about anyone they draft. 1

Not as big or strong as most thought and has real issues gaining separation He's very strong...Leipold babysat him when he had a right hamstring issue because he was expecting to go undefeated and hit a big bowl.What games are you referring to when he couldn't separate?

Rob's House Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I still think AJ Brown will be the best WR in this class.
thebandit27 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 @YoloinOhio is going to flip, but I spent the day watching Parris Campbell, and I think he's creeping up my board. I don't think he's there at 40 for Buffalo. He might not even be there at 30.

With how smooth and explosive out of the blocks he is, I have almost no concern with his downfield game. The dropsies do worry me, but it's not epidemic-level. I also think that Daboll would view him as an ideal chess piece for his scheme

He does have the “McDermott DNA”, so it’s an intriguing thought if he’s there at 40.

He did 18 BPs at Combine which is not bad. As for power he had 32" vertical and 10'2" Broad Jump which are very pedestrian for a WR in NfL. Hey I am a UB Alum and hope He goes high but there are a glut of big WRs and as a result he will likely drop to 3rd day unless he runs 4.45 at Pro Day. He struggled to get open vs Kent State, Bowling Green and Troy last year in games I watched. Troy has some NFL ready Dbs so very telling.
