Interesting article about WR propects

Looks at Watkins, Evans, Benjamin and Lee, highlighting where they caught the ball, what they did with it after catching, their break and their hands:

Makes Evans look like the most attractive prospect to me, and Watkins looks like a one trick pony.  Benjamin would definitely be a steal late 1st or early 2nd, when compared to the others.

Really should have used Lee's 2012 numbers with an actual QB and a healthy Lee. The metrics would look a good bit different if they did. Obviously there's no comparison when you miss as many games as he did, and have Kessler throwing you the ball instead of elite college QBs like Boyd, Manziel and Winston.

 

Meh whatever...

I really hope Lee drops to us. He has glimpses of Reggie Wayne in him at times. Didn't realize his drop % was that high though

I don't like his injury history but I could see him being someone that gets passed over for that reason and then has a big year.

Very interesting analysis.  I saw one similar earlier this week.

 

I still feel like Watkins would be the best player for us due to his sheer explosiveness, ability to run the WR screen game (bring'in back the Dan Henning playbook!), and his ability to be a big play receiver.

 

Evens is a bit of an enigma to me.  Is he a guy like Alson Jeffries who just looked like a big ole' jump baller, or someone who can come in and do everything at his size?  That article mentioned Evans' ability to run sharp square routes, which will get him open a lot.  And it seems like he's a good enough mover and shaker in the field to make something happen after the catch...  Plus it would be super awesome for Cam to be able to heave a ball up, and know that Evans has the ability to make the play, anywhere!

 

I just like to read the stuff a lot.  Matthews and Moncrief both have interesting profiles.  I'm glad there are pro's who can do this stuff because the Draft is such a crap shoot...

      I like that a lot; Ware from Troy and also Khalil Mack who played at University of Buffalo

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
