Seeing him make those catches and miss the easy ones makes me nervous.

Lord knows we don't need him to develop into another Brandon Lloyd.

agreed. brandon lloyd sure could make the dynamic catch every once in a while but it was always in the midst of a bunch of of horrible misses of what should have been easy catches.

i don't want this Brandon L to have the same results as that other Brandon L.

5 drops? I think some of you are being a little hard on the guy. I saw one that was high right on the sidelines, that would have been a great catch, had he made it, so I don't count that as a drop. Also, that TD pass he " dropped" was not really a drop. If anybody has seen the snapshot of that play at the Observer, the DB clearly had his hand on the point of the ball, so that one too would have been a very very tough catch.

You can go back and read my posts from camp the first day he didnt catch a single ball thrown to him. Im sure he can get better but we dont need someone that will be great 3 years from now, we need him now. If we can get one more good not even great reciever then we can go along way this year. Maybe I am to hard on him but he gets paid to perform.

That was a dumb one handed catch. He used one arm to hold himself up and the other to catch the ball. Good catch though

Looked like if he had not held himself up with one hand, he would have gone to the ground too fast and not had a chance to catch the ball. Yes, very good catch.

Yeah, but the first day of camp don't mean anything right now. He will get better as the season goes along anyway. I'm very confident of that.

What? You don't expect a rookie to break every record ever recorded while solving world hunger? Stop being a homer! :P

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
