Ricky Proehl and Don Gregory having dinner with WR Lattimer

[MtnJax]

If Proehl says he should be our guy, then get him. I would trust his opinion over others

[MCC]

I think he's definitely a top 6 WR on most boards now, just matters which teams fall in love with what prospect.

Watkins, Evans, OBJ, Cooks, Lee, and Latimer.

I'd be fine if we landed any of those 6 WRs in the 1st. I wouldn't be surprised if they are all off the board by the time the Panthers pick, though, unfortunately.

I could see us drafting him but I really wouldn't want to draft him until round three but his draft stock keeps rising so much that he could be a first round pick. I would hate us drafting him at #28 but I would be ok with a 2nd round pick. After reading his profile from NFL.com I believe our staff really likes this guy because he fits our system.

 

STRENGTHS

 Very good size. Shows a jab step to get into routes cleanly and is equipped to combat the jam. Can use his frame and physicality to create separation on slants and "post-up" throws (strength was evidenced by bench-pressing 225 pounds 23 times at the combine, leading all receivers and besting some linemen). Nice catch radius -- extends to snag throws off his body. Soft, dependable hands. Nice strength after the catch. Good blocker -- subdues cornerbacks, shields, stalks and sustains. Improved steadily over three years as a starter.

sign me up for him or KB

I agree with a draft season Panthro post what is happening to me.

The more tape I watch on him the more I realize he'll be a late 1st early 2nd round draft pick.

 

-Runs crisp routes

-Solid hands

-Great blocking

-Size

-Beats press corners

-Possesses adequate if not deceiving speed 

 

The best tape to watch of him is the Michigan State game where he goes up against one of the best defenses in the NCAA. My favorite play is when he battles against Darqueze Dennard and wins on a jump ball in the endzone. He not only beat the press, but completely boxed out the guy most consider the best press CB in the draft. He also did all this with a steaming pile of poo QB who couldn't place a ball but 1 in 5 throws. It seems like every game he was the go to guy that they should have fed the ball to twice as much. The only knock he really has is he played on an average offense that liked to use bubble screens to combat their lack of skill on the offensive line.

 

I actually think if OBJ and Cooks are gone by #28 and we don't go OT, the pick will be Latimer.

LOL. Sudfeld the QB throwing the ball to him is one of the best in the Big Ten.

Really? Sudfeld played with happy feet constantly and lived off bubble screens. I liked Tre Robertson much better.

Dont spoil our entire master plan Ron. I have engineered numerous smokescreens to initiate phase dominate draft.

that is a NFL play.

[KDawg004]

So apparently he was invited and attending the NFL Draft. Something we don't know? Talk about a rise up the draft boards.

[Growl]

Latimer and Bitonio are the two guys I'm starting to dial in on. Cooks as well but he's likely gone and I've always been a Kelvin benjamin supporter.

Tomorrow, Friday the 25^th, at least 23 teams will travel to Bloomington, Indiana for the on campus workout of receiver Cody Latimer. At least twelve wide receiver coaches are expected to be on hand as will Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly and Pat Shurmur, the teams offensive coordinator. Latimer was recently worked out by Carolina Panthers receiver coach Ricky Proehl. There’s little debate that Latimer is the fastest riser at the receiver position. I’ve spoken with several sources who tell me he won’t get out of round two and could surprise late in round one. There are a number of reasons for his ascent but the two things I continue to hear as the biggest factors are 1) his 4.43s forty time at pro-day and 2) the way Latimer consistently wins out for contested passes.

@RapSheet: Big day for hot #Indiana WR Cody Latimer, who will do on-field drills and work out for nearly every team today in Indianapolis.

[Draconus]

I'm actually pulling for us to get Latimer at 28, he's my pick.  If OBJ or Cooks is there, I feel those would be the pick, but I would take Latimer over Lee, Benjamin and the rest.
