Potential Steal Alert

[DaveThePanther2008]

Found this at the bottom of an article which talks about teams needing a strong draft.  I was most certain we would be on it. 

We weren't but the article mentions a potential steal alert and this gentleman's name has popped up on some of our mock draft lists.

Here's a name to remember: Notre Dame wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown. I recently completed my study of his game film, and I came away very intrigued.

He has outstanding size, quickness and route-running savvy. However, his production fell off this fall. He caught 58 balls and 9 touchdowns as a sophomore but he only hauled in 33 balls and 5 touchdowns this past season. After watching all of his targets from the 2017 season, the drop-off in production is easily explained. Yes, he has a couple drops, but the lack of accuracy at the quarterback position was the main reason for his disappointing numbers. He consistently created separation down the field, only to see the ball fly out of reach.

St. Brown has a complete tool set to be a quality starting NFL receiver. I think teams will see the same thing. I value him as a second-round player and he could end up being a steal in April.

 

I think the part I enjoyed the most was "consistently created separation down the field"

He has all you want in a WR with exception of speed.  It does mention quickness but not speed.

I’d be cool with him as early as the second or third.

That's a Key and Peele name there, though.

The one mock draft I saw had him as our 2nd pick in round 3.

Get him

 

we need separation

[Cyberjag]

Pretty sure that if this author gets it, a number of NFL scouts are already way ahead of him.

the big question if the panthers draft him and he doesn't pan out...is it his fault, or cam newton's.

We've talked about him before and my biggest concern is his frame. Dude has toothpick legs and I'm not sure if he can put on muscle there, you generally have it or you don't. 

I'd be concerned he'd snap a leg every time he touched the ball and he has the potential to have quite a few leg injuries much like Darren McFadden did.

 As someone who “missed” on McFadden, big time, I see the issue. But it is not nearly as concerning for a WR as it is a RB. 

 ESB is exactly who I targeted when looking for a WR in this draft . This is provided we add a speed option in FA, like a Paul Richardson. Funchess is on his final year and We need to consider that with any WR choice.

I don't disagree we need another WR to add to the stables, but I'm tempering my excitement for him. Paul Richardson was another guy who concerned me with his frame. It looks like he's missed time each year he's been in the league except last year, also missing all but one game in 2015. Richardson has talent, he's just so skinny he gets manhandled and injured often.

[WOW!!]

Just sign 2 of these FA WR Wallace, Moncerif, Wright, Matthew's, Richardson or the Brown's.. And we are good at WR..

 This guy sounds alright from the 4th round onwards. Great name. Not as good as his brother who just signed for USC though. Lets just wait 3 years and pick up Amon-Ra St Brown.

[Daddy_Uncle]

Sounds like our typical Dwayne Jarrett, Donald Lafell, David Gettis type draftee

Yeah the youngest of the 3 boys is easily the best one and it's not really that close.
