Lamb is straight up skinny. They do have sone similar skills, but Marshall was frightening after the catch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the girth difference, but Lamb is going to have to bulk up in the NFL his play style is too physical for him to remain that thin. Lamb is actually terrifying to me after the catch. I think that is his greatest value (even above his sneaky good route running) he just nows how to get down the field, either through or around. I just think, in his prime, Lamb will need to play somewhere around 220 in order to truly reach his ceiling imo. Him and Marshall both have vacuum tubes for hands, both run nice clean routes, always open, breaks a lot of tackles, and cares little about defenders attached to their hips. As prospects I think their only difference is one is built like a TE. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure he has the frame to add 25 lbs of bulk anyway. He’s listed 189 on CFB Reference. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless some of you are these undercover trash column sports writers. Just read a yahoo article released today making this comparison. Some of the 'pros' read it for ideas/research as I've seen things here many times before TV media hypes it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just believe his game invites punishment, not a bad thing just his style of play. In his prime, he’s just gonna be injured a lot if a doesn’t add weight to his frame, because he just takes hits. He is just thin. Like super thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Thomas - 6'3", 212 Julio Jones - 6'3", 220 Chris Godwin - 6'1", 209 Devante Parker - 6'3", 209 Keenan Allen - 6'2", 206 Kenny Golloday - 6'4", 218 Amari Cooper - 6'1", 208 DJ Moore - 6'0", 210 Jarvis Landry - 5'11", 205 According to the OU website, he was listed at 6'2, 189. He's projected to run a high 4.4, low 4.5 forty and you're asking him to pack on 30 pounds? I don't see you making this same argument against Jerry Jeudy who is listed at 6'1", 192. CeeDee Lamb was ridiculously productive at Oklahoma, and was easily the best offensive weapon in the conference. But the notion he needs to pack on 30+ pounds to be successful is ridiculous. There's no magic number that's going to keep him healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no magic number that's going to keep him healthy. It seems to me that durability is pretty random and not really connected to height and weight. For example, I remember when Goff and Wentz were coming out, people were concerned about Goff's durability because he's rail thin despite the fact that he had been much more durable in college than Wentz. In the NFL, Goff is still thin. Wentz is still a thickly built, large QB. Yet, Wentz has struggled to stay healthy. Goff hasn't. We could point to a million other examples of that. I think looking at injury history in college is much more telling about durability. Even still, there's always going to be an element of randomness to it.

BayRaider Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Brandon Aiyuk could sneakily end up being the most productive WR of this class within the right system. I think he’ll keep climbing up boards and eventually be drafted in the 1st. Probably runs around a 4.35 to 4.37 and actually a good route runner and ball locator, just not that physical. He does this short post of 8-10 yards and cuts inside about 2 yards and catches in stride, and then bounces it back out for huge gains. He is money on that route.

He's already #19 in Daniel Jeremiah's Top 50. Behind Lamb, Jeudy, Ruggs, and Jefferson, but still that's pretty high overall. Really interesting WR class.

Blazer026 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I think a solid comparison for Shenault is a better Deebo Samuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe56 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Keenan allen is built like slender man, hasnt hurt him i thought in recent years guys like Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield going 1st overall, a guy like Aaron Donald becoming the best or one of the best players in the NFL etc etc, the age of being size queens in scouting would die off, buts its still out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
