Addressing our need at WR

[gacker65]

I like Chark in the 2nd round.  Went into this off season looking at a lot of WRs.  Watched East-West Shrine and Senior Bowl.  The WR that jumped out was Chark.  At Senior Bowl, he led all WRs in catchs.  Went over the top and underneath, as well as blocking in the run game.  Mayock compared him to another LSU Alumni, OBJ.  Went back and watched tape.  He didn't get a lot of catchs like other WRs, but made the most of what he got.  Chark went to the combine and lit it up.  He ran a 4.34 40, and verted 40".  His draft stock has been rising since the Senior Bowl.  From a high to mid 5th round to mid to high 2nd.round.

Considering how weak our WR corps are, and FAs getting overpaid, looks like we'll turn to the draft.  Second round looks like the sweet spot for this class and we have 3 picks, so who do we take?

Miller is an absolute Game Wrecker! I’ve never wanted a player more in a Colts uniform than this guy! Go Blue!!

We need size. We need someone who can go up and pluck the ball out of the air. Zierlein has Sutton as a 2nd rounder so if he’s there I say take him. I’d also look at Equanimeous ST. Brown. 6’5” and ran a 4.48 40. Should be available 3rd round. I’m interested in Chark because he has the size and speed but I just wonder if he’s Stephen Hill.

I’d rank the top 10 WRs prospects as follows:

 

DJ Moore - reminds me of Percy Harvin with the ball in his hands. Attacks the ball in air and is great after the catch. 

 

Christian Kirk - good football player with great work ethic. Safe player. Will be in league for 10 years. 

 

Courtland Sutton - size and Speed is impressive.  Needs to develop the route running piece. Boom or bust prospect with highest upside of the group.

 

Calvin Ridley - great start stop ability and terrific route runner. Frail and questionable ability in traffic. Not a guy who high points the ball. 

 

Equanimeous St. Brown - size speed freak. Reminds me of Aj green at times but the lack of production in 2017 is quite concerning.

 

Michael Gallup - love what I’ve seen from this kid. Attacks the ball in the air and very good route runner. Strong hands and feisty. 

 

Dante Pettis - Smooth route runner. Questionable hands in traffic. Sells double moves really well. Good return ability. 

 

Antonio Callaway - Off the field concerns but talent similar to Kirk. Very good in the SEC as a freshman. Big play guy in college. 

 

Jmon moore - Looks the part and displays great body control at times but inconsistent. Love the talent but has to continue to improve. Good size that sells routes well when he wants to. 

 

James Washington - deep threat with strong hands that benefitted greatly from spread offense and lack of defense in big 12.

 

 

Just Missed the cut:

Anthony Miller 

Trequan Smith 

 

No interest:

Auden Tate

Simmie Cobb

DJ Chark
