Receiver Scouting Thread

He's got some Puka Nacua to his game. Really impressed this whole year. He's got glue for hands. Played with a great team and QB and he's a winner. Worked his way up from FCS to being in the national championship game so you know he's hungry as hell. This would be a very good pick at 44 if he's still there.

 

I think we might have to take him at #33

 

I got no problem with that.

IMO they need take a WR in the first two rounds.

 

Awesome comp. Very similar size and playing styles.

 

Yep LV definitely gonna look to pair him with Mendoza

 

Malachi Fields is going to be a stud! This is the kid I want. Former Quarterback, big, fast, strong hands catching receiver. Just bullies CBs on fade balls and back shoulder throws. Like his attitude, his love for the game and his knowledge of the game. I think he’s still there at #33 take him! What a pick he would be starting off the second round. He’s AJ brown 2.0 on the field. What a dog!

 

Quick question, why not at 16?

 

Simply because he probably will be available later. Just like AJ Brown was available in the 2nd round and DK in the 3rd. It seams like these big body receivers are available in later rounds as a trend in the NFL.

 

Guy has been all the talk at the Senior Bowl practices too, good to see

 

Great story and the kid can ball too. Reminds me of Keenan Allen. Heck I’d take a shot at him on day 3

 

If only we could pick up a Puka Nacua in the 5th round, nevermind one at #44

 

Well, therein lies the rub. The Jets can't be getting cute when they need major talent infusion across the board. You take the stud WR at 44 and don't look back.

 

I just meant it is about time we had some scouts worth their salt who can spot a talent in the lower end of the draft, it feels like we might as well just toss out our 4-7 rounders and tbh 1-3 isn't much better, but hey ho, it is time we started drafting players who shine from an unexpected draft positon.

 

Fields with our 4th would be great if he’s sitting there for us. Heck I’d take him earlier than that but I think he might be there for us there. I don’t understand how he’s so under the radar. Love his attitude, his FBI and his ability on back shoulder/fade balls.

 

My opinion of the top 3 for most -

Carnell Tate - The most well rounded and highest football IQ player at his position group. It's a no brainer for me, I've watched a ton of this kid. He's the best WR in this draft. Not going to be amazing in the RAC department but that won't be his bread and butter for the team anyway. He's excellent in my opinion everywhere else. Including blocking.

Jordan Tyson - He is a dog. He just has the makeup of someone who refuses to be denied. Those players go far, he has a lot of great tools in his kit too. He's too prone to injury though, that's a big deal.

Makai Lemon - I'm not sold on this kid like a lot of others are. His mental after the combine is a little off to me too. I know that's aside from football, but I do think it matters. Especially in the NY market. I feel like the things he did in college, will just show up as him getting bullied in the NFL. I'm not even sure he is a better prospect coming out of college than Elijah Moore. He is getting such JSN praise and I am not sold at all. I wouldn't take him in the first round either.

My top 5: For what it's worth.

1. Carnell Tate (Ohio State) 1st
2. Denzel Boston (Washington) 1st
3. Jordan Tyson (Arizona State) 2nd
4. Malachi Fields (Virginia/Notre Dame) 2nd *I think he may be the best fit for our scheme and team need
5. Makai Lemon (USC) 2nd

*6 Zachariah Branch (Jorge Ah)

 

Bredeson is my favorite player in the draft
...I love his blocking and he is a true fullback
..not one of these shit tightends playing fullback

 

Zach Branch is someone I’m liking a lot on film. Dare I say the best slot in the draft… His shiftiness, burst and hands are really good. I like him more than Lemon or KC.

I know it sounds crazy but Lemon doesn’t do it for me. Something about those USC receivers under Lincoln Riley always worry me. LR who I absolutely love as a coach schemes his receivers open. He makes QBs look good and especially slot receivers. Lemon for me got schemed open on linebackers and safeties a lot. In the nfl the difference will be substantial.

KC had a bunch of drops. I watched them. Some are trying to play it was concentration. I see it more as laziness and lack of soft hands.

Branch tape was really good. Not sure where he falls in the draft but in my opinion he’s the best slot receiver out there.

 

I don't know, Malachi Fields looks soft and intentional to me, I want the guy we have on the LOS to be violent and instinctive. Fields has excellent hands and he's huge and runs nice routes, but I still think he's going to get bullied in the pros.
