Welp. Boykin is gonna die alone now. Wtf manAlright guys it’s happening. I’m falling into the trap of buying into the hype about boykins potential.
Plsss let it happen
At least I won’t be the only oneWelp. Boykin is gonna die alone now. Wtf man
Bowser should be used as a SAM lb and not an edge. He was drafted as a sam and hasn't been used the way he was drafted.
This big body WR actually has good hands and can run routes.I like Boykin more than I originally did, and that video pointed out some subtleties that I didn’t spot on my own, but I’m still not sold... he looks SOOOOO SLOWWWW and idk how the hell he tested as well as he did and his “separation” in college is about what boldin got in the nfl, very little, so does that gap close even more against nfl competition? Or does he progress enough to keep ahead of the curve? Is there something in a nfl conditioning program that will get him playing closer to his testing speed? Idk man, feels like a lot of projection with Boykin and I sure as hell don’t have faith in the development of a big body receiver, based on our track record with them
This is true, I mean he has technical skill and is a smart route runner and understands the concepts, but he still doesn’t separate.... so what does he improve to gain better separation?This big body WR actually has good hands and can run routes.
He separates on slants and he was a PI magnet in college. Factor in the fact that opposing defenses are literally going to be incapable of playing press all the time.... Well have fun with the height. Especially since he also can play the slot.This is true, I mean he has technical skill and is a smart route runner and understands the concepts, but he still doesn’t separate.... so what does he improve to gain better separation?
He does get separation on slants, but it’s modest separation and he’s gonna have to find a way to not let NFL DBs narrow that gap. That’s all I’m saying.He separates on slants and he was a PI magnet in college. Factor in the fact that opposing defenses are literally going to be incapable of playing press all the time....

I don't think Boykin ever reaches his maximum potential, but I do think he's going to be a good at worst WR
if you watched the video, you will see he separates because of his route running. I'm not sure we needed to trade up to get himThis is true, I mean he has technical skill and is a smart route runner and understands the concepts, but he still doesn’t separate.... so what does he improve to gain better separation?
My only issue with the pick. I think he's solidif you watched the video, you will see he separates because of his route running. I'm not sure we needed to trade up to get him
He's pretty big guy though - doesn't necessary need as much separation as smaller guys.He does get separation on slants, but it’s modest separation and he’s gonna have to find a way to not let NFL DBs narrow that gap. That’s all I’m saying.
I do like Boykin, I’m just not as high on him as you are
I know bigger guys need a different kind of separation, but here’s how I’m looking at it.. the separation you get in college can essentially be cut in half in the pros, so if he’s getting a yard max when he runs a slant in college(against tight man, he works off man very well actually) then he can work with that, when that gap gets tighter in the pros how will he hold up? And separation downfield he gets none. For instance, kelvin Harmon got better separation and arguably caught a contested ball just as well if not better than Boykin, I think his separation will translate better because he got more separation in college and thus his openings should be wider in the nfl too. Can Boykin progress his game enough to maintain the same level of separation he gotnin college? Again I like Boykin but I think he’s a pretty low ceiling guy, and for every boldin there’s a hundred Guys who we swear is the next one and they can’t bring that big bodied possession game to the nfl for whatever reason. He’s gonna have to get very refined over the next 2 years and bring his route game to an elite level because he’s not gonna be separating the same way and he’s not gonna be bodying guys up the same way either.He's pretty big guy though - doesn't necessary need as much separation as smaller guys.
I agree with you on his speed though - combine testing doesn't make sense to me when I watch him. Maybe it's a running style (low ass, straight upper body) and his size making him look like labouring through sprint but something's definitely off in that picture.
he's not raw, raw guys aren't good route runners and that is how he is creating separation. Even when he is covered, he's open.I'm just starting to accept the pattern with guys like boykin. People always bring up bad QB as an excuse for limited production but these somewhat raw guys who havent put it together even though they have athletic gifts and height just don't pan out.

to each his own. you have been challenged each year to play the forum mock and each time turn it down. We all know why you don't play the game.If he's '' even when he is covered, he's open'' that means he's a pro bowl player.
