Because I don't think he's explosive or quick enough to be a big slot and it's really difficult to gauge how being a contested catch x receiver is going to translate if he can't create his own separation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't De'Runnya Wilson. He may not have great speed, but he has good agility. He'll need to win on contested catches on deep balls--which he can do. However, he cuts well. He's really good on out routes, comeback routes (where he attacks the ball), etc. Despite the lack of deep speed, he can get open in the short to intermediate range because of his route running. You can see this agility after the catch too. I think he'll be to play the Big Slot. In fact, there's where I think he could be most affective in the NFL.

He’s a freak athlete for sure. I’ve heard people knock him for being stiff and not putting up elite numbers. But people said the same stuff about DK so who knows.

Of course I am not saying Pierce will be another Janis.

I like the Faster Pittman comp. I think Pierce goes at worst top of the third, but I’ve seen him fall to the fourth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the size/speed + blocking ability they covet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a hard time placing him. While he certainly tested a bit better, his game reminds me a bit of Alshon Jeffery.

Im thinking similar for Pierce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 My WR rankings: 1. Jameson Williams, Alabama 2. Garrett Wilson, Ohio State 3. Treylon Burks, Arkansas 4. Jahan Dotson, Penn State 5. Drake London, USC 6. Chris Olave, Ohio State 7. Skyy Moore, Western Michigan 8. George Pickens, Georgia 9. Christian Watson, NDSU 10. Alec Pierce, Cincinatti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jebrick Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Good list. I would move Burks down and Olave up. Burks is JuJu 2.0. Not a WR I would take in the 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I hope Jahan Dotson ends up in Kansas City or Green Bay, I think he'd light it up for either team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
