Dexter McCluster

I started taking notice of this kid last year. He is kind of a tweener RB/WR. He's extremely shifty and has great straight line speed but he isn't very bulky. He only weighs about 165lbs so between the tackles really isn't a question...I don't see him being able to fill that role.

However, he's a big time playmaker that because of his measurables could probably be had in the 4th round unless he runs something ridiculous at the combine. No matter what he does, he's not going in the top 2 rounds.

I've never seen a kid THAT SMALL dominate a game like he does. If he could put on some muscle without losing anything you could put him in a Darren Sproles type roll.

Dexter McCluster = Darren Sproles + more speed

Thats who I thought of too but I looked up Sproles and that guy is 190lbs. One thing is for sure...McCluster is going to hit the weight room HARD when he gets to the NFL.

He is actually more comparable to Desean Jackson after thinking about it. Desean is 5'10'' 175. Someone that runs a spread offense is going to get a good pick with McCluster in the 3rd round.

I'm still hoping for a McCoy/Shipley combination.

imo he will be a steal by whoever takes him this year as his size will undoubtably drop him in the draft. he is not going to likely be any more than a 3rd down back if he stays at rb (i doubt i), possible4th wr out of camp, but as a returner or some wildcat variation, his shiftiness will be coveted.

he has been ol miss' best player for 2-3 years now. he just makes plays. i want him as a wr project. he has everything you want for a return guy, and might have the best small wr to learn from in smith. idk if he plays with a chip on his shoulder like smitty, but dexter gets it done.

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
