Inb4 Matthew's first Pro Bowl.

i have seen him run some amazing routes(post corners, double moves, verticals, drags, digs, post), and i have seen him high point balls this year. he is by far the best WR prospect in the draft this year, but every one has their own opinion.

He also has one of the highest drop rates in this class and caught most of his passes on screens...but if u say so.

Not sure why nobody is wanting the kid Coleman only issue is speed but if you have smitty in the slot and another guy with speed on the other side surely a slower receiver will just be a downfield tight end! I think Coleman can be coached up he's only 21 and a huge guy with potential plus probably a middle to late second rounder some even project third round on him, that way it will alow us to go WR OT WR in the first three rounds maybe not in any particular order. I for the life of me can't see Benjamin going passed the browns 26th pick and I'd be happy with Coleman and Moncrief as two draft picks

a. he does not have one of the highest drop rates in this class, matter of fact he has one of the lowest at 4.49%. coming in 3rd in this class after Landry, and Evans.

 

b. you cannot knock him for the scheme he was in. Dabo wanted the ball in his hands asap, and they run a lot of screens, jet runs etc..... his scheme thrives off quick hitters. but lets not act as though that is all he ran. I have seen him run plenty of routes on all levels of the field. he caught 32% of his balls on post and corner routes. he also caught 34% of his balls on comeback routes.

- Jordan Matthews is in a similar YAC predicament as Robinson. His overall YAC of 7.8 would put him second in this class only behind Sammy Watkins. However, his screens up this number significantly. On the 55% of his receptions that aren’t screens, he averages 4.7 YPC – a number that is slightly below average.

 

 

Please do your research.

How Are Their Hands?

 

Here are the drop rates for each of the WRs. I defined drops as balls that were easy receptions and likely bounced off the hands of a WR, not passes that a WR ‘could have caught’ with an acrobatic play.

 

  

- There’s not a whole lot of bad to see in this group. Anything below 6 or 7% is just about normal for NCAA wide receivers.

 

- The biggest player to watch out for here is Jordan Matthews who has a slightly above-average drop rate of 7.69%. There were a few 50/50 drops that I hedged on Matthews’ side for. He could realistically be anywhere between 7-11%. If you’re watching Matthews intently, keep an eye on his hands.

 

look again. His hands are not that good.

Watkins is not the best WR in the draft....

Did you watch college football or one team?

Denadre Hopkins is twice the WR watkins is.. do you see him running amazing routes? Do you see him jumping up and fighting for balls? Or do you see him catch curls/screens/trick plays so he can run around?

my response was for general_purr and him stating Watkins is not the best WR. i know this is a Matthews thread in all, but i wasnt talking about him in the above quote. im no Matthews fan either. The numbers I posted in the other post were Watkins numbers.

What the fug Landry, that's insane.

It is, the guy said he saw him drop 2 balls that he should have had all year.

Well we agree watkins is the best wr in the draft. This guy matthews is a second rounder in my eyes.

lol and now you're backtracking on what you actually said in regards to the drops.
