2015 draft??

WillSaints81 · 03-17-2015, 01:54 AM

Benjamin's knock was also hands and he was one of the best rookies last season. I just don't want a developmental project and believe Coats performances against LSU and Alabama shows he has what it takes to get up for big games.

Strong plays for the pac 12. I'm not gonna lie. I had Cooks not in my top five last year. I thought Watkins, OBD, Benjamin, Evans, and Robinson were better and four of them did play well and made more big plays than Cooks. The other one played on a bad team. Thats not to say Cooks is not good but as someone else said he may not be a true number 1 type of receiver. Cooks played for Oregon State. I think NFL defenses are just way more impactful than college defenses but with five star defensive players in the SEC and ACC and playing against such most of the season they prepare a player well for it.

If we draft Strong he better be ready to beat coverage because Brees usually makes some of his best plays to receivers in between defenders. Can Strong deal with that?

If we're not looking for a number 1 receiver then thats fine any of them can do but the more they weigh the less injury prone.

Kelvin Benjamin added two more drops Sunday to take his total to 11 for the season.

he makes a huge impact WHEN he catches the ball but the issue remains. I am still glad we did not draft him. he just does not run the tree as well as we need WR too.

Strong I like for one huge reason above all the WR in the draft. He is the best i have seen in a few years at catching the back shoulder throw which as we all know Drew has mastered and relies on heavily. ASU lived on the back shoulder throw all year long.

possession wide receiver. AKA Colston
He’s reliable, athletic and quick off the snap.
He’s not polished or a burner
Big Question out there is effort. Over used or just gets sloppy?

He is good enough for teams to consider trading back into one to get because after him there is a bit off a talent drop off

But if the phone rings and a team wants to trade up to 31 and they are in the top ten of round 2 you have to consider it.

If there is no player worth reaching for in round 1 i would trade out

I've seen Amari Cooper mocked to us more often at #13; would not be disappointed...

and then Walter from WalterFootball.com has us selecting Markus Golden with the #31

Perryman in the 2nd
