Groink Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Ishmael seems to have good physicality and solid hands. Fiery competitor. Doesn't look to be particularly explosive though. Needs to time well, but I think he could latch on to the back end of a receiving corps for a NFL team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some ballers if you scout hard enough. You can scout as hard as you want, if the talents aren't there...they're not there. Scouting harder doesn't manufacture talent.

It's just devoid of star power and that is pretty undeniable if you look at the top. Calvin Ridley is the only WR I think deserves to go in the 1st round. When looking ahead to what is likely to be available AFTER round 4, it's insane. You could find your #2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 WR spots all between rounds 5-7 this year. Absolutely this. I think the sheer volume of interesting talents in this draft is very solid. A lot of teams are going to fill out there depth charts with guys who will stick around and contribute in their roles. It's just the lack of any prototype at the top, and just a lack of bluechip #1WR prospects that has people a bit down on the class as a whole. Can't just take the top off a class and ignore it, but you don't have to dig that deep to find guys who could become really solid #2/3 starters and niche players.

Super4 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Thoughts on Iowa's Allen Lazard? 6'5, 220lbs. He's marked down as having 4.6 speed but he looks faster than that in pad-speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would disagree with this comment. There isn't many, but there are a few perennial Pro Bowlers in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be a mismatch nightmare. Not a good blocker, but that can be worked around in today's offenses. Same with Mark Andrews, not the best blocker as of now but will create problems for defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone is worried about Ridley because he didn't jump well. His 40 time and 3CD were exactly what you'd expect based on his tape. That's how he wins (with speed, burst, quickness, and CoD skills). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
