You can't really argue that Meyers hasn't done those things. He hasn't had many explosive plays, but he's definitely played the part of a solid route-runner and possession receiver, which usually gets guys high marks from that site.

Hunter2_1 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 “I was just joking with him,” the Patriots quarterback said. “When (offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels) decided the play and (Meyers) heard it — I was like, ‘We’ve got XYZ’ — Jakobi looked and he was like, ‘Huh?!’ I said, ‘Yeah, we’ve got’– the play was called. He looks down and he’s like, ‘Damn, hold on.’ “So everybody’s looking at him look at his gloves. He’s like, ‘Bro, I’ve got to take off one of my gloves.’ So he took off one of his gloves. (Tight end Ryan Izzo) was like, ‘You want my warm pouch so you can keep your hands dry?’ He was like, ‘No, no, no. … Hey, but hold my second glove, too.’ We had a moment as an offense in that huddle. Because we were coming off a TV timeout, and Jakobi was (anxious). I was like, ‘Bro, relax. If you don’t got nobody, just throw it to your checkdown — which is me — and I’m going to make something out of it.’ “ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soko Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Does UDFA Meyers appearing to be a reliable receiver make the sting of 1st rounder N’Keal Harry worse, or better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better. At the end of the day, a guy's draft position (or lack thereof) means nothing. The draft comes down to how many useful pieces you can add, not when you add them. We've all forgotten about Duke Dawson thanks to JC Jackson becoming a stud, right? Hell, I had to look up Dawson's last name, that's how little I care that he was another 2nd round disappointment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it is obviously nice getting contributions no matter where or from who. But somehow drafting an apparent bust in a draft loaded with receiver talent (talent that we’re seeing come to fruition in some of the guys), while hitting on UDFA, kind of just emphasizes the miss. Shrug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFF rankings are so wack They've got him at 87.5 grade. That's good but I'm not sure it would put him top 5. Where did you see this Starless?

Yeah If we pick up two WRs at the same time, 1 early in draft, 1 in FA - and 1 turns out to be a genuine and reliable #1, and 1 is meh.....that's about expected. I'm cool with that.

He often catches slants, boxes out defenders with his huge frame, and takes off. Which is exactly what I thought N'Keal would do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is exactly what I thought N'Keal would do I'm not a fan of slow big guys or WR that play for lets say, Ohio University or Marshall. Never pick FLA WR. I watched the combine and Harry and Daniel Jeremiah said he needed a good time under a 4.60. I should knew than however I believe DJ when he ran under, so I didn't have a problem with the pick, until I saw him for the 1st time running like a duck! Crap we're screwed. Never again, Speed and quickness need only to apply 😁 Edited November 19, 2020 by m haynes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
