Can't recall him having many of those during his coaching career to be honest. And if they believe in Carr (probably not), may be better to get someone like Lamb who can kill it on the underneath routes and can come up with the tough catches.

Just looking at the type of WRs he's had his entire coaching career, you would have to think he rates Lamb and Jeudy higher than Ruggs...Heck, maybe some others as well.

While I don't think that I'd rate him as highly as the other two, I basically think it's 33 / 33 /33 on which one goes first. Basically...you prefer a guy to make contested catches, pick up some RAC but maybe have some projected separation issues? Lamb. High floor, with no elite traits but exceptional route running? Jeudy Blazing speed and perhaps the most reliable pass catcher in the draft and some versatility in offense (running included)? Ruggs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamb is the real deal though. Really curious to see who the Raiders have #1 on their board, Lamb or Jeudy? My thought is that it is Jeudy. My assumption is that they'll want a player who is somewhat like that clown they traded for last year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should clarify, my Ruggs to Raiders was a 'joke' based on the Raiders history. I see Gruden 100% going with Lamb, just strikes me as the kinda of WR that Gruden would go after. But this could turn into the Crabtree/DHB draft, though the top WR in this draft kinda is a little bit more muddled, whatever flavor it happens to be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherm Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I want Antonio Gibson, HB/WR, Memphis. Dude is super explosive with the ball in hands. At worst he can replace Richie James role(5th wr/KR)...but I believe he has the ability to be much more. Think he can be a huge upgrade to our backfield rotation. Especially if we trade Breida and lose his speed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamb is one of my favorite prospects this season and I would love to have a former Sooner to cheer for on our 9ers. There is no one else in this draft that is quite the YAC monster he is... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We discussed him for the FFMD but he ended up going just before our pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the kiss of death for non-LSU receivers, but if we stay at 13 and go WR, I really hope it will be (1)Lamb (2)Ruggs and yeah (3)Jeudy.

Especially if we trade Breida and lose his speed. He's the best RB fit for Shanny in this draft. And the fact that he also played WR just makes him that much more appealing for a offense that is craving a legit CMC type of receiving threat out of the backfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-ALL-DAY Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 We're back on the Dantzler train!!! Probably can get him in the 3rd round which would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
