Devin Smith route tree breakdown

Good breakdown. He will be taken by a west coast team before our pick in the secon unless there is a run on wide receivers and someone drafts him in the first. I think he is a great speedster and a good receiver but he isn't physical enough for our team. We need s a willing run blocker and a guy who blocks downfield as well as a great receiver. He isn't that big or strong and relies too much on his speed to get open. I think we will take a receiver in the first 3 rounds but I suspect that Gettleman wants a fast big receiver with speed. But if several other guys are gone he could be our choice.

I always appreciate work and effort on here.  

 

The only thing that I can say is that I am skeptical that he will just be able to run by pro defensive backs with just speed alone. He is going to be jammed at the line, and how is he going to handle it is anyone's guess at this point.  I doubt that he is going to be a good down field blocker also because he certainly hasn't shown that ability in the clips that I've seen. He just flat out needs more experience.  There really aren't any double moves or shake and bake moves to his route running like you see with Agholor.  And, it's not his fault, but a slower guy that always seems to get open because of an apparently natural understanding of route running is Justin Hardy who may have the more productive NFL career.
