Better know a Prospect - Tyler Lockett

I think his value will have risen considerably by the time the draft gets here. This early last year, OBJ was projected as a 2nd-3rd round pick.

We might have to take him in the 2nd if we want him.

i justed checked two draft sites and both have Lockett projected 2nd-3rd R

National Football Post ends a scouting report on him with "I doubt he gets out of the second round...Ten years ago, he may have been a lock to be a first-round type"

Football Outsiders compares him to Antonio Brown (5-10/186 at combine, drafted 6th R out of Central Michigan), who was 1st Team All-Pro this year, Big Ben's #1, was called the Jerry Rice of our time by PFF, and finished #1 in the NFL with 1,698 yds this season

CBS' Dane Brugler compares him to T.Y. Hilton (5-10/183 at combine, drafted 3rd R out of Florida International), who was a Pro Bowler this year, Luck's #1, caught for 1,345 yds this season, etc

Everyone is focusing on his return skills and rightfully so but don't underrate him as a receiver.  Of all of the receivers I've looked at thus far, Lockett's route-running skills are among the best.  His double move is killer, sharp in and out of his breaks.  One of those guys who looks a lot quicker than fast although I'm sure he's plenty fast.

 

Concerned about his weight but I like him a lot.

Are you dense?

I remember fans like you claiming Da'Rick Rogers and Colt Lyerla would go in the first round.

I never once said that lol.

Look at my post history and see that I said that I would take a flyer on Lyerla in the 6th or 7th. Pick 64 is the latest I see him going.

Sounds like he won't be there for us in the second even, lol.

    • I'm not saying it shouldn't be a part of his game it should be present yes. But expecting 500/10 in the rushing category is not sustainable IMO. All it's going to take is a defender to be willing to sacrifice a penalty or a fine to send a message just as the Falcons did with Sam Darnold. And even as big and durable as Cam was defenses eventually started to try to send a message to him too. We have to be realistic about not putting our QB at unnecessary risk. Especially given the fact we aren't even willing to run a QB sneak with him. We've also invested a good bit in our backfield that's what they're there for. And furthermore ultimately whatever QB  tier Bryce Young ends up landing in over the course of his career it is going to be defined by what he does as a passer not his rushing ability. That's all I'm saying.
    • Bryce had 191 yards 55% completion 1 td 1 pick.  That's an amazing performance?   Come on people
    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development and competiveness on both sides of the ball but particularly the offense trending upward given the investments we've made. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
