So does Anquan Boldin.

I think speed is the most overrated quality in a WR. It can help, sure, but it isn't a necessity. Landry will be a fine pro because he is very advanced in the technical parts of the game. (route running, blocking, catching, etc)

As scouts have pointed out, he's below average coming out of the blocks, but fast once he gets up to speed.

His speed is fine considering most WR/CB races begin after the first few steps and after contact anyway.

Yeah, if he ran a 4.9 I'd avoid him, but a 4.7 doesn't drop him off the board considering all his other skills/measurables.

Ill twist that for ya a little. We had a huge issue this season with WRs coming out of blocks slowly. Seattle exploits that.

But it wasn't start speed that was the problem, it was disengaging physical CB's. I think thats a physicality problem, not a first jump problem.

On the plus side he may fall to the end of the second

He can only do improve at his pro day. Going into the combine, he was projected as a day 2 pick. Still a steal @ Rd2 for any team.

Exactly ! I'm glad he ran slow. Maybe we can get a stud player in the third or later.

No way I pick a WR in today's NFL under 6-3 in round 1; and the Saints have something to hang their hat on in Kenny Stills...

Let's keep improving the defense and get that offensive line back to elite level...

They're plenty of big wide receivers that could be had in the mid rounds to develop behind Colston...

The two WR in that represent the most value in the mid-rounds would be Jeff Janis, who just ran an amazing 40 and pumped the Bench Press and Brandon Coleman out of Rutgers who's got great physical traits to develop, mould...

Kenny Stills, Joe Morgan and Odell Jr..... I can dig it

I'm hoping Morgan is 100% going into camp. I still have question marks on his route running.
