Armsteeld2 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Weapon. LBs will struggle covering him. Has the ability to run with the ball and has nice vision. Can return kicks as well. Solid blocker but not a knockout guy like Nix. Can line up at TE or out wide and run routes. ST value as well. Imagine this: I formation with Bell and Samuels. Ben raises both arms and Bell and Samuels line up as receivers. You have Antonio Brown, JuJu, and #84 in the game. Who does the defense double team? No LB can cover Bell. Now you have another player similar to Bell with the same skill set. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chieferific Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I love the player. He adds so many dimensions and, as @JustPlainNasty mentioned, he helps JW do what he does. I would have like this pick so much more if the Defense was addressed but that has no effect on what type of player he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to think of a good comp for a current player. I know it's early, but I'd expect Samuels to be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPlainNasty Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 THere are some really good corners still left on the board whose off filed /character concerns are Im sure coming into play. Holton Hill - have no idea why he was suspended for the rest of the season in November JC Jackson - the move to Maryland had to be a good thing, but there was some serious stuff back in Florida. Kevin Tolliver - i think his football character is in question more than anything though so probably pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really just used him wide open though, not sure of the total thinking but he was the swiss army knife and pretty much the key to their offense. Very good receiver, ran a lot of sweeps.

Yes, and I may be getting a little ahead of myself but this has been BY FAR my favorite pick this draft. Not sure if that's applause for Samuels or condemnation for the draft itself.

The value is there and the potential use within the offense makes sense. Like I said , had him rated #61 overall and his grade was starter use/ability.

Yeap, if he was taken instead of the OT I would have thought it was a good pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustPlainNasty Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I figured FRazier was a high chance. He should be able to unseat MCCullers but i need to do more work on him. He didnt play a lot on the games i tried to watch on him. Maybe they can grab Greg Gilmore as UFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chieferific Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I read somewhere that they were interested in Flowers from Oklahoma. He's similar to Samuels in that he's versatile though not as dynamic. His projected Rd was 5. They also had John David from LSU in for a visit so it's obvious they were looking for a versatile H-Back type (that's why I had a Nall from Oregon St in my 20). I'm thinking they had Flowers targeted in the 5th but when Samuels (projected 4th Rd) was there they jumped at the opportunity to get the superior player.

AFF Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Flowers went a few picks before Steelers pick in the 5th before they went Allen...my guess they were after him. I like Samuels...just not sure how much he’s going to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
