What are your thoughts on him?

I'd love to take a flyer on him in the 4th round (doubt he lasts that long). He has EXCELLENT hands and his measurables are solid (~ 6'0, 202lbs, 4.7 ) I think he would fit great in our offense and be a very good possession receiver. He runs routes cleanly, has no fear across the middle, and catches with his hands, not his body. If we don't address WR in the 1st or 2nd round, I hope we take him.

i like him as a slot wr that could move the chains like welker abit.

i think he is a slot guy at best but he might be solid...dont know if he will be as good as welker.

so if the panthers got two wr one deep threat early...i would be fine....

but i can already hear the rants about not taking austin, the best slot wr in the draft, to most people.

I'd love him, but I don't see him lasting until the 4th.

To be honest, as I watch the combine I really want 2 WR's. There is just so much talent there and I don't know that a BPA philosophy wouldn't take us in that direction anyway.

I want a big burner, a true number 1 to replace Smith, then I want a quick, slot type to compliment the outside speed and Olsen.

Hes more of a chain mover, not a lot of moves in the open field. However hes great at finding holes and getting open. He catches just about everything thrown his way. his 40 was faster then I thought. Like you guys said hes a fearless wr. Id be cool in the 4th. More late career ricky prohel then wes welker imo.

if he is there in the 4th I would take him, doubt he lasts----any duke fans out there want to comment how they think his game will transition to the pros

Vernon is a good player who played in pro-ready system, meaning that, he's going to be able to come in and contribute right away because he knows NFL routes, progressions, reads, etc.

However, he's going to need to bulk up.

He's not fast enough to play the speedy type of slot receiver people are thinking he could be able to play. That's just not his game. He's going to be more of a "sit in a zone and catch a pass for 7 yards" type player. In which case, he's going to need to bulk up. He could take those hits (or make guys miss) playing against the ACC teams of the world, but in the NFL, he isn't going to be able to do that for long.

      Crazy stat

      By trucpfan · Posted

      It didn’t feel like we’re the Bills bc we’re not a consistent conference contender yet we’re a rebuilding team. But with the game on the line we played just like the Bills went straight down the field and scored a tuddy then converted a 2pt conversion I have to give credit where credit is due. And the chiefs played us like we were the Bills in an AFC championship game, drive down the field and kicked a walk off FG to win at the end very similar to me. Are saying our defense stunk yesterday? Vs an elite offense team with elite coaching an elite QB man idk what you want them to do. KC does these things to the best defenses in the league consistently to win AFC chips and Super Bowls let’s not devalue who they are. I saw us play KC to the wire and barely lose defense did its thing as much as it could. Bingo!!! We’re also forgetting how injured we’ve been defensively this year, yes we need to build up the D but adding a few pieces and D Browns successful rehab should make us a very strong unit again. Couple that with the offense we saw yesterday and we’re winning our division.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      Canales deserves a lot of credit. I'm very pleased. He's definitely making strides with Bryce. I also think some of his lack of commitment to Bryce as the starter is to motivate Bryce. I think he liked what he saw when Bryce was benched.  Even the Defense looks tremendously better with just a couple more pieces getting healthy. Wonnum has made our pass rush viable again.  I would love to see this team with one more good player across the defensive front, DT or an edge rusher.
