Ricky Proehl and Don Gregory having dinner with WR Lattimer

[Carolina_Crazy]

Do y'all think the WR will drop in this draft. I mean everybody says it's so deep. It's plenty of WR needed teams but say for instance Jets they need DBs bad. So say they say hey we can pick a good WR in the 2nd so let's fill this DB postion cause its not as deep as WR idk just a thought.

Cody Latimer - WR - Hoosiers

NFL.com's Gil Brandt reports that the 49ers "paid particular attention to" Indiana WR Cody Latimer after his private workout.

"49ers paid particular attention to Cody Latimer yesterday. WR coach John Morton spend 1.5 hrs with Latimer after workout going over playbook," Gil Brandt tweeted. The 49ers are desperately looking for young talent to join their WR unit with veterans Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin leading the pack. Their two backups are newly acquired Brandon Lloyd and second-year talent Quinton Patton. Latimer could be the big-bodied, play-making receiver the 49ers are looking for on the outside; his physical style of play fits in nicely with their power-running, ball-control offense. Latimer has generated quite the buzz as of late and it's possible plenty of teams could be interested in Latimer's services at the end of the first round.

9ers might have to move up ahead of the Saints (if not earlier) to grab this guy. They have a clear advantage since they have 14 draft picks as collateral. 

[Lemory]

That settles it, we have to pick him so the niners can't get him.

[MrBubba]

At the rate Latimer is climbing he'll be a top 15 come the actual draft

Asked Gil the other day and he said it was too high to take him at 28 but he really liked Latimer's character. I think he's at least a late 1st round pick.

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.

Panthers dearly need a guy that possesses both of these traits. 

 

They were severely lacking during the past two seasons.

Like this kid, the double-move in that highlight vid was vicious. 

[MadHatter]

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.

So, you want to draft a guy on the third that all of the experts are grading as a first rounder?

You should be banned for that stupidity alone.

After Lattimer?  Dri Archer if he is around in 3. 

 

Little known fact: They almost named him "Unwet Bowandarrrower" but didn't. 

 

 

[Carolina_Crazy]

I don't think he will make it out of the first round.

[jarhead]

That is good news. I like him in the 3rd. 

He will not be there in the 2nd much less 3rd

[jarhead]

I don't think he will make it out of the first round.

I hope he does not make it past 28

[Growl]

I'm starting to wonder if Latimer gets DJ Hayden'd and gets nabbed a lot sooner than anybody expects this year. If anybody does I think he could be that guy.

He's who I'm settling in on pulling for our pick.
