Ryan Grant 6-1 190lbs Tulane

Great Hands, Maybe the Best Route Runner in Draft, Fearless Going Across the Middle... Hum... Lance Moore replacement. In any case, there should be a bunch of WR undrafted FA around.

01/25/2014 - 2014 Senior Bowl, Helped Themselves: Ryan Grant, WR, Tulane - At a rock-solid 6-0, 197 pounds, Grant showed surprising burst, as well as the agility as a route-runner and reliable hands to out-play several more highly-touted pass-catchers. A long touchdown during Wednesday's practice drew plenty of praise from scouts.

Strengths: One of the more underrated pass catchers in the country. Grant has quick hands, smooth coordination and wins with timing and precision in his routes to create just enough room to work. Natural hands catcher.

Grant is definitely a top-100 candidate and he deserves to be talked about more at the national level, but holding onto the ball and finishing catches will go a long way toward making this happen.

Here's the Interview I had with him at the Senior Bowl

nice job once again, pointed out some great small school prospects for us to scramble and look up.

Re: Football Gameplan's 2014 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings - WRs
 

We've got a Lance Moore replacement, His name is Kenny Stills. If you bring Joe Morgan back healthy, the deep game ( ala Devery Henderson, Robert Meacham) will return.... Which leaves you with one replacement possibility..... Colston, which means you will have to go after something you haven't had in Shawn Payton's time here..... and that's a true #1 receiver and I honestly don't think that is gonna happen you may get a nice addition...... Maybe Like a Jordan Matthews, or a Jarvis Landry... but it won't be a #1 cornerstone... like Colston, or better.

LOL Lovin it EM, Gimme the Defense though!!!! Linebackers, Cornerbacks and Safeties.... Great Job....

Re: Football Gameplan's 2014 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings - WRs
 

You only got WRs because we have a 4th ranked D already.

That's all SP is going to draft ;)

Re: Football Gameplan's 2014 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings - WRs
 

Let's not get caught up in what we ranked last season... Houston was the number 1 ranked overall defense in 2012, where did that get them in 2013.

The defense is damn good. but it is not special yet....... the way to make it special is to continue the 2013 offseason trend... We now know exactly what we are gonna need defensively to be great for a long time... On defense, you might be three players away!

Lol! Im going in positional order guys… TEs were done today, Offensive Tackles are up next coming out tomorrow the Guards

Re: Football Gameplan's 2014 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings - WRs
 

I agree with you! Just pointing out he is going to draft WRs. ;)

The car doesn't need bumpers or seats, pour all the $ into the engine and transmission.

Re: Football Gameplan's 2014 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings - WRs
 

We have a Lance Moore don't need another one. We need a BIG WR out of FLA. That will knock a Seattle CB on there butt if they play press on us.

Re: Football Gameplan's 2014 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings - WRs
 

need one that can catch first

Re: Football Gameplan's 2014 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings - WRs
 

Good stuff. Thanks for posting. You do a great job.

Re: Football Gameplan's 2014 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings - WRs
 

Hagan714,
What's your take on Toon? For me, I had big expectations for him last season to make a solid contribution however it was KStills who took some of the spot light (terrific draft pick I might add). Nick just didn't seem to have much confidence in his route running & appeared to get man handled when he was targeted.

Any thoughts?

Re: Football Gameplan's 2014 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings - WRs
 

Lance Moore will hopefully restructure. None of our receivers got open but Lance Moore made some very tight catches that were well defended. However, we need one more speedster who can go deep and fight for the ball. Toon looked kind of raw and lost before his injury and I'm not so sure he is the answer.
I am excited about some of the small school prospects but Payton might want to get a receiver early on who can stretch the field. When that happens the middle opens up and Colston and Moore are both back to being productive. I still love me some Lance Moore. Get him the ball more.
He was underutilized this past season.
