Carlos Henderson - Late 2nd or in the 3rd...What Say You Huddle

[SetfreexX]

As someone that is not a college football buff I tend to do most of my prospect familiarization after the combine & the week of the draft/leading up to it. Today was a Leonard Fournette day, but I started looking at Henderson again as some posts here brought his name to my attention, so I just thought I'd share the following...

Averaged...read this again, averaged, 30 yards per return (taken from early commentary in this video).

A nice prospect...just depends in who we get first...hoping for a J Ross sighting...but this could be more realistic pick...

He's my 3rd option at WR in the 2nd behind Jones and Godwin. I could even entertain an argument for putting him ahead of Godwin, but Zay Jones has been the guy I've wanted at #40 for a long time now. Pretty much since the Senior Bowl.

So torn between him and Zay Jones.

What I liked the most was the YAC, he was able to make guys miss on the bubbles, and quick throws turning them into bigger plays, we need that. Also I liked the ability he showed on his two TD's running the back shoulder fades in the red zone at the goal line. 

If you keep an eye out even in run blocking he didn't look to give up too soon. Most of them were through the whistle. I'd like him as another outside receiver, since it looks as though that's where he lines up the most. I really like the idea in three receiver sets where Funchess and Benjamin can rotate the slot on those vertical play calls. While we still have a deep threat outside (Byrd/Henderson/Johnson#2)

KB/Funchess/Byrd/Johnson/Henderson/Shepard - is a receiver group I like the potential of, a good mix of size and speed.

I think he'll offer some potential, but I think he'll go higher than he is worth.

We don't have an early third, btw.

I'd rather take Josh Reynolds, Dede Westbrook, Damore'ea Stringfellow, or a couple other guys later in the draft.

Fixed, thanks.

Love the guy. He and Godwin are my favorite receivers in the entire class.

I like Godwin a lot, and have run a few fanspeak mocks where he didn't last till our late 2nd, and even a couple where he was taken before 40.....I'm all in.

As long as we come away with Ross, Jones, Henderson, or Godwin I'll be happy

I like those three plus Taywan Taylor.  I actually see Jones and Henderson filling two different needs for us.

I'm a big fan of Jones also.  I think he is pretty safe pick. From all accounts he has some of the best hands in the draft and I think he is better athlete than some people think.  Worst case he turns into a sure handed, possession type of #2 receiver, a Cotchery with better speed maybe?  Does Cam really have anyone like that at the moment on the roster?

Henderson could be that dynamic, play making, smaller receiver that can also handle return duties.  Here again not something we really have on the roster at the moment.

What is the chance we draft two WRs in the second round?  I know, pretty close to none, although it wouldn't bother me at all.

 

 

[SOJA]

I really want him with our comp pick in the third round 

[jayflip]

Dude's gonna beast. Or be our next Drew Carter / Taye Biddle / practice hype machine. 

I'd pull the trigger at 40, but there's a reason I'm not a scout or GM. 

[Cpt slay a ho]

Late second, or trade up in the second,our early 2nd may have a couple 1st round graded prospects that have slipped
