vegas492 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Hadn't heard of the kid. Went to internet. Typed in name. Incorrectly. Typed in name again...still incorrect. Copy and pasted...came away liking the size/speed combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Not enthused, but what do I know. strikes me as a standard Packers late-round combine-numbers guy who's still sitting there because he never had the heart/brains/will to get the most out of his combine numbers, and presumably never will? He's an old guy, 23 already, with the polish of a freshman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siv Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I seem to be in the minority but I actually like this pick. I’m no scout and I’ve only been able to see videos on YouTube, but he looks much faster and quicker than EQ out on the field. Obviously route running and learning the offense will be key for him (both of them really). Excited to see what the GB staff can do with him.

Leader Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Just now, Siv said: I seem to be in the minority but I actually like this pick.

Obviously route running and learning the offense will be key for him (both of them really). Excited to see what the GB staff can do with him. I agree. EQ's a long strider who I think (if) he could quickening his feet it would enhance his cutting abilities - but I'm not expecting double moves out of a guy his size. MVS has nice diagonal quick cutting ability (nicknamed him ZigZag) - followed by an off to the races burst. JMO has Davante Mini-Me written all over him at this point - not because he's smaller, but because Davante's got a Veterans ability now. JMO's just getting started. Nothing not to like IMO. Looking forward to seeing how they grow into NFL players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyponGrey Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 This guy does well enough at Gunner, we may finally get rid of Jarrett Bu... I mean Demetri Goodson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWhitehurst Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) The thing that really jumps out at you on tape is his get-go off the line, a two-stepper, which is reflected in his 1.55sec 10 yrd split time. So he'll need a ton of work not only on route running, but on beating that press jam off the line he will face regularly. (Obviously) As for raw physical ability, at least in terms of speed, he has the most of the three. Hopefully he works his tail off, sticks as a gunner, and then becomes what we wished Janis would have become: a bona fide #4 WR at least.

Wasn't that about Eli Apple, who is incredibly immature and reliant on his mother, and that became an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So say the guy is immature. Not being able to cook isn't a causation of struggling in the league. My point being you'll get one of McGinn's scouts that say "the coaches didn't like him there" and then in the same paragraph another scout says "they pounded the table for him." So many varying opinions, take them all with a grain of salt. At the end of the day we're talking about 20-23 year olds, I'm sure all of them have growing up to do.

PossibleCabbage Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 "Scantling" is a really cool name. I'm not sure I've encountered it before. It makes him sound fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
