Danger Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Y'all are so negative about any and all prospects I swear to god. No one drafted outside the top 5 is going to come in and not have things they need to work on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we just want to live and die by throwing jump balls to Alshon, JJ and Ertz? Would have preferred a WR that wins before the ball is in the air. Problem is, Wentz is a lot less willing to throw those 50/50 balls than Foles. 200 receptions for Ertz this year lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I mean the guy catches anything thrown to him regardless of who is hanging on him. What's to hate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlesthought Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I’m not obsessed about what we didn’t get...I’m trying to understand how he’s improving the roster. How long Alshon has left 2-4 years? History has shown we haven’t developed WRs Year 1 ST/hidden injury Year 2-3 contributes? I think Mack Hollins was more of a polished WR coming out. He just seems to be Hank Baskett with a better college career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just seems to be Hank Baskett with a better college career Nelly is probably gone, and they'll likely put him in as the 3rd/4th receiver. He's not going to get a fake injury or be a special teamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie just addressed that the plan is to hold onto him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlash Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I know he ran a 4.49 at his pro day and all but to me he's got the same issues as Jordan Matthews where he's just not going to separate. I agree with an earlier post that Butler would've been a more desirable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with an earlier post that Butler would've been a more desirable to me. Jordan Matthews was a slot, J.J. is an outside wideout and plays a lot differently. People said Alshon Jeffrey wouldn’t be able to separate. J.J. wasn’t asked to do a big route tree and when he did do short routes he excelled.

Alshon doesn't separate, and he's constantly having to make contested catches. At some point it would be nice to have someone who can run away from a defender aside from a 34 year old DeSean.

Desean isn’t 34 and we still have next year. Howie has liked a speed guy and a possession guy for the past 4 years. We’re not going to reach for a speed guy when the better player is J.J.. maybe we were going to pick Mecole Hardman and that’s why Chiefs jumped in front of us.jj still ran a 4.49 which is faster then a lot of wideouts, he just needs to be coached up on routes and he’ll be really good. He already has elite body control and is elite on contested catches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Matthews didn’t have elite body control or was great on contested catches. Jordan Matthews played so small for his height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
