Can't afford Maclin? Draft Agholor.

[gettlemanjack]

National Football Post:

"I can see Agholor being drafted very high (assuming he runs well at the Combine) and he will start early in his career. I can see him becoming a team’s number one receiver in short order. He also has the return skills to be a club's top punt returner.

...

Agholor is an excellent athlete with great body control. He has smooth change of direction and very good speed. ... He is a very good route runner who can make sharp cuts with a quick burst to gain separation. He does a good job using change of pace to set up a defender. He is equally effective as a long and short receiver and has excellent ability to adjust to the ball to go along with exceptional hands. He tracks the ball very well, can consistently high-point the ball, and can make the circus catch. He consistently competes for the ball in traffic and his run-after-catch skills are excellent. He can consistently turn the short catch into a long gain."

Would be fine with him in the 2nd, but at 25, no way.  There will be way too many players that are higher on the draft board. 

[Soul Rebel]

He should be in the conversation for #25. His combine was pretty eye-opening and fits the type of WR we need. His ability to contribute on special teams and get behind defenders is up there with the rest of the tier that will be there at 25.  DGB has red flags, Funchess doesn't fit what we need, so it's between Agholor, Strong and D. Smith. 

 

Honestly, I'd be happy with any of this lot except for Funchess.

Funchess is big as fug. Probably will be converted to te.

I don't want any more WR that can't catch Cams bullets. just bring Ginn or Royal in and let it play out with Olsen, Cotchery, Benji, Philly, Bersin, Hill and Webb.

we should draft BPA with a heavy emphasis on the trenches and ball Hawks at various positions.

Not trying to be a smartass ,  but.......

 

 

Can't afford Andrew Luck?    Grab Gabbert.

 

 

Luck......  6'4,  234lb, 32 5/8" arm length.  10" hands.

 

Gabbert 6'4, 234lb,  33" arm length..  10" hands.

 

Luck did a little better in the broad jump,  but Gabbert posted a better 40 time.

Why wouldn't he be able to catch them?

[TheNewStandard]

Why wouldn't he be able to catch them?

his workout with Cam will be the true tale of the tape. it takes great hands to be a receiver for Cam.

You must have missed this part:

 

"To me the Maclin comparison looks to be more than just a physical one."

watching majority of USC games, Agholor is not a breakout player. He just does not have that it factor that his predecessor Marqise Lee had. Stay away from this guy until the 3rd round if he makes it that far

that "it" factor is apparent with the prospects that have "it." and "it" is undeniable when it's recognized.

sure, some show "flashes," but "it" is a gift and couple that with hard work and dedication and "it" shines through. "it" is something that can't be taught, learned or bought and those that have "it" are the guys you want.

[Jimmy]

ok, ok...it seems some of you want to buck the trend of horrendous USC WRs that we have had.  Not to mention the crap WRs that have come out of that dumphole:

 

Dwayne Jarrett, 2007

Keary Colbert, 2004

Steve Smith, 2007

Jay Soward, 2000

Patrick Turner, 2009

Damian Williams, 2010

Mike Williams, 2005

 

Overall...pure "T" shizzz

[C47]

Steve Smith broke out with a 1200 yard season but then injuries derailed his career. Not sure he's the guy you want to hitch your anti-USC WR agenda wagon to. 

 

Oh and all those guys you mentioned were under a different coaching staff, and outside of Steve Smith and Soward were bigger possession type WR. Not at all what Woods, Lee or Agholor are. Like I said....stupid take is stupid. 

[Jimmy]

I'll hitch it...there are a lot of guys that could've been for one reason or another.  Stay durable, stay productive, and don't suck.
