This Guy is the real deal.... If he is available in the first round when we pick we would be foolish not to grab this guy.... He is a very physical receiver who is not afraid of contact and not only that can deal out a little punishment... yes i know receiver might not be at our most pressing need but this guy would be a home run hitter... He reminds me of Andre Johnson of Houston Texans and a Terrell Owens minus the whole hoopla that follows him.... he would defenitely help out imagine Coles, Cotchery, Keller, Heyward Bey..... that would be a scarey receiving corps.... By us obtaining Bey it definitely would extend Coles Career further too maybe rotate coles into slot sometimes.... He stands at 6'3" 206lbs lean and mean looking always looking to get up field and make a play i like the guy and think we should really consider taking him....He also has the speed to run the tops off of the Defenses which is what we really need to get other things going in the O..
He's lean AND mean, holy shit! When's the last time you've seen Heyward-Bey go over the middle...and make a catch? He's as soft as they come. Troy Williamson 2.0 It's almost ungodly to compare DHB to Andre Johnson and TO.
The only thing I've heard is that his route running needs to get better. Guess what makes a WR unbelievable???? route running. Straight line speed is fun in college, but in the NFL you need a whole lot more.
Without a doubt. There is reasons that a guy the size of Marvin Harrison can become one of the best receivers of his era. Great route running and hands are more important then size and speed. DHB is a good prospect from the little I have seen, but has his flaws. I'm not sold that there is a receiver pick worthy of the top 20 pick in this draft.
I thought Maclin was that guy and then I did more HW, I'm beginning to think I might be wrong, or he'll take 3 years to become a good pro... the transition to the pros really makes it tough to evaluate WRs for me, because they can have a pure athletic advantage over CBs in college. Its the one position I really don't have a good eye for. QBs and LBs are my thing. Crabtree will go top 5, but this might be another year of WRs taken late.
Nicks is the guy you are talking with the description your using. Heyward Bley is soft and is not overly physical. Whatch some Nicks film, you will see what I mean
I have to agree with most here...........Heyward-Bey is not a complete receiver. He has questionable blocking skills, not a physical player. People are in-love with his size and speed. Heyward-Bey made some big plays and a few big reverse plays for Maryland. Maryland's offense (mostly running game) is luke-warm at best, and Heyward-Bey wasn't a big factor in most games. Nicks and Britt are well-rounded receivers that do it all.....Block, Run good routes and have good hands. My projection of the Top Receivers. Crabtree...Top 5 Maclin......Mid -first Nicks and Britt....Mid/Late rd 1 Heyward-Bey.....Mid Rd 2.
I like Britt and Nicks more than DHB. Electric is right, DHB is really soft. He's not what we need. Britt would be a better pick.
mr electric... im not sure what you think we need , but im thinking vontae davis or jeremy maclin, what do you think of him?:drunk:
Vontae Davis has tons of potential - but his head isn't always in the game...especially when his team is losing. He's probably the best man-to-man corner, and he's definitely the strongest and most physical. I think Rex Ryan is a coach that can get the best out of Davis - I wouldn't be upset with the pick. I'm not high on any of the hyped wideouts this year, even Mike Crabtree. Crab's not running the 40 at the combine for a reason - he'll probably run in the high 4.5s or low 4.6s. If we draft a receiver, I want UNC's Hakeem Nicks. Jeremy Maclin is extremely raw - his route running is horrible. I believe it was NDmick that said it would take J-Mac a couple years in the NFL - I couldn't agree more. He reminds me a lot of Mark Clayton - another Big 12 wideout that had huge college success because of the spread offense and all of it's option routes.
Given for granted Crabtree will never fall to 17, in the first round the only other worthy WR would be Maclin in my opinion. I would either trade down to like 24 and get a wr there or trade up in the 2nd to get Nicks, Britt or Harvin if they are still there. Other wise wait for Robiskie in the 3rd maybe trading up a bit. I don't like DHB much because he's such a gamble and i don't think we are in the position to make gambles right now (too many needs).
I like Bey but I do have concerns that he really has not put up any type of significant numbers in college. Last year he only had about 600 yards. I like his potential, but I am always one to look at how they play on the field and then move to their potential that they have in the NFL. Nicks has a ton of potential and has dominated at times.
Calling him Troy Williamson is beyond unfair. DHB was a sprinter in high school, and played very little football in high school He went on to become a freshmen all american, who blew up a Miami secondary with 2 plays over 70 yards in his first year playing. I can't wait till he runs under a 4.3 and everyone on this site salivates over him...he needs polish yes, but he's a worker, a team leader and a great ambassador for any team. He will go in the first round and be a success wherever he goes...that being said, don't see him as a Jet, we have too many needs.
You know what Troy Williamson did? He ran in the 4.3s and everyone salivated over him too. He's all about speed - a deep threat, that only knows how to run like 3 routes.
I never "salivated" over Troy Williamson. DHB has a very limited resume' when it comes to his body of work at Maryland. You even stated his High School career is limited. DHB has made some big plays, but his route running, and blocking, and stats are limited at best. He may be a workout warrior, but doesn't impress me as the complete receiver package and is far from NFL ready.
DBH may not be the most physical or complete WR in the draft but he brings 2 things that is missing in our WR corps right now, speed and size.
