Don't blame him, got to try and make bank.

Don't blame him, got to try and make bank.

Except when you try and make bank catching passes for a living, you need to be able to actually catch passes.

I'm setting the over/under at 3rd round. I say over (as in 4th at earliest). But still, can't blame him for going. His hands probably aren't going to improve that much and rather than risking further injury, go for it.

In other news I told y'all this 3 weeks ago. Cower at my amazing drill operation!

And I will go with under WT.   I agree GH about the hands but with his size, speed, and strength, he is going to have scouts drooling.  Kelvin Benjamin wasn't lauded for his hands either.  He might go late first round, but my guess will be solid second round.

Man, I NEVER saw this one coming.  We need some people on this board with some reliable insider scoop. Somebody gots to know somebody.  Or somebody girlfriend mama.

Changing mine to 3rd.

I guess he never got that call from Darvin...

This is old news when you have skreets

So, what about Duke Williams?

I don't know his girlfriends mama.

I don't know his girlfriends mama.

We need you to socialize more in the LaPlace, La., area.

Sammie will go in the 2nd round...bank on it.

Panthers, Jets, or Raiders

Panthers, Jets, or Raiders

Please no Raiders.  I would like to see Coates have a decent NFL career.

Let them have fun with that. I would take Duke in the 2nd. Not Sammie. Nothing personal. Its just that the kind of passes he catches are 60 yarders, diving, between triple coverage. Those are far and few in the NFL.

Duke will come over the middle more, better in traffic. Sammy is more of a strong outside guy, faster an more likely to score.
Neither have the hands or route running skills of Darvin Adams IMO who was very good in the clutch. But that doesn't stop the NFL from salivatingl.
