WR ANTHONY JOHNSON, BUFFALO (OVERALL: 171ST)

Among draft-eligible FBS wide receivers with at least 100 targets over the past two seasons, Johnson ranked tied for first in receptions of 15-plus yards (61) and second in yards per route run (3.48).

 

 

I don't think the pff team of analysts are Buffalo homers, NFL.com had a 4th round grade on him. Pretty sure they are not homers either.

 

It was so weird...I remember hearing him being talked about as a potential late first round pick at one point during the season and then he just fell to the point of being undrafted....

Most of those negatives are around his bad footnwork and his bad release

 

he May not be a world class athlete but he is very talented.. every scout in the world had a draftable grade on him

 

he also played hurt all year so his real speed never truly showed.. he isn’t world class fast but he can get deep

If that were true wouldn’t he have been drafted?

Supply and demand?  Lots of WRs with draftable grades.  Sills is one also.

You would think if “every scout in the world” had a draftable grade on someone he would have been drafted if it was unanimous across the globe. Based on the results there were scouts that didn’t think so

Assuming there are way more ‘draftable graded’ prospects than there are draft picks for scouts.

Would have thought he would be drafted especially with the good 40 time but I guess they worried he didn’t dominate like the year before. Surprised he went to Tampa but maybe with mike Evans he could learn.

Months ago folks were raving about Johnson. I saw him at the Senior Bowl and came away unimpressed. Fans here thought he was a 2-3 round pick. I said 5th.... never saw him going undrafted but I guess he had more question marks....

No because scouts don’t draft players...

 

and as i I said earlier... 20 years ago there used to be 25-30 WRs with draftable grades 

 

now there is 40-45 per year that come out with draftable grades. 10-15 WRs every year now with fully draftable grades go undrafted
