The WR Thread

I don’t like all the “top shelf No. 2 WR” nonsense. If they’re good enough to be called a top shelf No. 2, they’re good enough to be a #1.

That makes sense but it is totally Wong. A true No.1 is somebody opponents game plan for yet he makes plays consistently. His numbers are consistent regardless of attention. The attention he gets makes his teammates better. A top shelf No.2 is a good productive receiver. Makes plays and sometimes puts up No.1 numbers.But if a coordinator decides to take him away then he will. Especially if there isn’t a no.1 or top no.2 opposite of him. Like Emmanuel Sanders played across from Demaryius. Sometimes a top shelf No.2 is very good at one or a couple things but his game is limited in some way like Jarvis Landry.

Get back to the task at fucking hand guys. You want to have a dick measuring contest you can settle it outside of this website somehow smh.

How did Ridley do. I know for a fact that if he's there he's our pick. Even if I think DJ Moore has more potential..

That said, I think both will be #1 options at the pro level so I wouldn't complain with either. Ridley has rookie of the year type potential.... Highly doubt he'd beat out Barkley, but he has it

Chark Callaway Cain all did well. I think Callaway is gonna be a stud. He made a highlight reel adjustment look easy and routine on a poor throw from Lamar Jackson

Well I would hope Cain did well. Poor QB play held him back...


I've been traveling all day. Was in Prague now back in Spain. Will watch more film in the morning.

So since Jimmy Smith shuts down Antonio Brown, I guess Brown isn’t a #1 WR? The only thing you said that even remotely makes any sense is the last sentence.

Umm he gets a lot of help on Brown in Peas system that drops everybody in coverage and mixes things up to confuse QBs. And anybody can get shut down time to time but by end of every year the numbers are consistent

Ridley did well on the 40 but to put this into perspective his vertical and broad jump was the same as Rosens lol

Otherwise he caught the ball really well and ran crisp routes...but we knew that already

Ridley may not be the no.1 receiver off the board. I once thought to myself he probably has a poor vertical jump by way he runs. Strides are smoothe but not powerful. Jmon Moore takes very explosive powerful strides. He is a 4.55-4.60 40 but plays fast with powerful strides.

I think what makes Ridley the top consensus reciever is his low bust potential. At worse i think he becomes a decent #2. I think there are a handful of recievers with more potential but their floor is much lower than Ridley

Ya they all helped themselves. Id throw DJ Moore in there as well. He jumped out of the gym and ran well too, didnt get to see his on feild workout though.

I saw Mayock compare Cain to Kenny Stills and i hate that comp because i feel like Cain is much more well rounded. He had to be last year since his QB had a noodle arm and couldnt push the ball down the feild

Stills is one dimensional. Cain has natural wiggle and suddenness to his routes and breaks. And can shake after the catch. Kenny can’t do any of that stuff.

Cain is also very good beating press with his hand usage and understands angles. Although he had a limited route tree in college, you can't hold that against him. I absolutely believe if he puts in the work he could become a very good route runner.

do yall think dj moore is putting himself in first round territory?
Absolutely. I think hes brought himself up to the 1st/2nd round range, originally i think he was a mid 2nd round pick. Those numbers are eye popping and it shows on tape with his ability to break tackles. Extremley explosive athlete. If he stayed in school and had a consistent QB i dont think it would be a question whether or not hes a first rounder.

Dylan Cantrel and Jmon Moore put up great 3 cone drill numbers and 20 yard shuttles for their size.

Actually, Cantrel and Jmon Moore lead all in 3 cone time at 6.56 each and Sutton is 3rd at 6.57
