Get on the real bandwagon: Jarvis Landry

LaFell and Landry comparison is funny. Only thing in common is the school. Landry = Hands of Velcro

I know, but you could also argue that college highlights can highlight potential. Sure, it doesn't tell the entire story, but it shows you what they can do. And we need guys that can make a game changing play.

I can agree with that. Just always look for balance. If all you see are his good plays you could make even an average player look fantastic.

I watched almost every LSU game (wife is a fan). He's legit

Cool. What round would you say he's worth?

The LaFell and Landry comparison is funny, but not off-base.  In college LaFell made a ton of big catches, ran good routes, and was generally a big play possession receiver who ran good routes, blocked well, and didn't beat you with speed.  Landry is a little faster, but other than that they looked pretty similar as college players.  LaFell was first and second team all SEC his last two years, Landry was a second team all SEC receiver this year.

 

A major difference between them was who was throwing them the ball.  Matt Flynn had ok accuracy and Jordan Jefferson was a running quarterback, and still LaFell caught 120 passes for 1,721 yards and 19 TDs in his final two years.  Zach Mettenberger made amazing throws and has a genuine NFL arm--he made all of his receivers look pretty damn good.  Landry has caught 133 passes for 1,766 yards and 15 TDs.  LaFell played in a rush-oriented attack while Landry played in a Cam Cameron pro-set passing offense.

 

One other thing Landry did have that LaFell didn't--a number one receiver playing opposite him in OBJ.

My personal opinion is that the difference is the level of WR available at our spot in the first vs our spot in the second isn't worth reaching in the first. Not sure if Landry makes it to us in round 2, but if he does it would be incredible.

The problem is every guy can make a game changing play....IN COLLEGE. I could take some of the biggest busts in the history of the NFL and put together highlight packages that made you say All-Pro. It's what they do outside of the highlights, and even more so the stuff that doesn't show up in games (work ethic, character, drive/passion and other intangibles) that make the difference. 

 

While that's true, it seems as if Landry plays the way you'd want an NFL receiver to. Randy Moss has a terrible work ethic, terrible intangibles, etc. Still considered an all-time great.

Landry and Benjamin really stood out to me while watching college this season, especially Landry. Do want.
