Jaelen Strong

[ncfan]

Want this kid.

 

Wasn't to many OT's that stood out to me yesterday as a 1st round guy yesterday.  This WR class is Super deep again.

I've seen several people rush Perriman up the boards, but I think Strong is the #4 WR in this class.  Would be a top 15 guy if it was for White, Cooper, and Parker.

 

Strong has only played 2 seasons at ASU and posted 2,287 yards and 17 TDs in those 2 seasons.  Going up against some of the top DB's in the Nation in the Pac12 (Alex Carter, Ifo, and Marcus Peters just to name a few)

 

He is a Very Physical Strong WR with good hands.  A couple guys announcing the combine compared him to Fitzgerald.

 

Strong just measured up at 6'2 217 at the combine.  Posted a 4.44 40 42" vert and 10'3 broad jump

Agreed, especially since Cam misses high more than anything else. Looks like we'll have a pretty nice selection of high-potential WR's at the end of the first round if Gettleman decides to go that route.

The draft can't get here soon enough!

[Kuech the Sneak]

I'm a fan of his, if there's no OT worth it at 25 then going another direction is the right choice

[Double Trouble]

I'd be happy with him or Agholor. I'd probably lean towards Agholor because he's a really good return man.

Jaelen Strong ’s 42” vertical is third best of the last 10 years

at the Combine for wideouts.

ASU WR Jaelen Strong making 1st Rd case. 42" VJ is

outstanding. 4.44 40 (unofficial) is surprising. He showed

elite ball skill on 2014 tape

He is on my list of 5-6 guys I would realistically like at 25.

Football Savages:

"In the Sun Devils offense, Strong played both on the outside as well as in the slot. ... When it comes to route running, Strong ran a substantial number of comebacks with a healthy dose of back shoulder plays, drags, slants, screens and then various deep attacking routes such as posts and go routes. ... impressive hands and ability to shield opponents from the football ... Strong has arguably the most impressive hands in the entire class at wide receiver. ... his hands are outstanding. ... Easily the most impressive part of Strong’s game is his hands. They work like vice grips and he is able to make some difficult plays look relatively routine. He does an excellent job of plucking the ball out of the air and securing it away from his body. There are some occasional drops but most of them are a result of contact or having a difficult time separating as opposed to a hands issue.

In addition to his hands, Strong does a great job of tracking the football both down the field as well as through contact. He has demonstrated an excellent catch radius... He also does an excellent job of using his body to box out opponents from the play... The combination of Strong’s skills make him a natural option when it comes to high pointing the football. He times his jumps well"

Yea I definitely like this guy too.  There's a number of OTs I'd be happy with at #25, but there's a good 4 or 5 WRs I'd be happy with too.  Good draft to be picking late.

[LinvilleGorge]

I wouldn't be mad at all taking this kid at #25.  I'm honestly starting to think there's only two OT prospects I'd want at #25 and those are Collins and Fisher.  I actually prefer Fisher.

Colts Draft:

"The Colts must add a receiver either in free agency or the draft, but the biggest favor they could do for themselves at the position is to add someone who could be even better than their No. 1 receiver Hilton.

...

Jaelen Strong gives Luck a target with a huge catch radius... His size, strength and long arms make him a huge matchup concern for opponents. Strong’s basketball background shows, as he boxes out defensive backs, wins jump balls and has the ball skills of a power forward. He..runs a plethora of routes. Although a primarily outside receiver, Strong also lines up in the slot. He uses his body very well, especially on back-shoulder connections....a technical, well-rounded receiver... Strong reminds me a lot of a taller Anquan Boldin. They both are physical receivers that use their bodies and technique to get the ball, and they almost always win jump balls."

Outside of the likely gone trio of Parker/White/Cooper, this is the only other WR I'd consider at 25. 

 

Basically, he's the only WR I can see us landing in R1 unless we really fall for someone else.  

 

The 3 Collins kids, Strong, Phillips, and Odi are my shortlist.

Strong and aSpeedy slot guy in the 4th like a Lockett or Diggs. We just Brought in a 2nd WR coach to help out. 3 WRs in these 2 loaded classes with all that coaching help and will be here for a while to gel with Cam is the best case scenario
