Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Stills maybe Jimmy i doubt it

I look at the depth chart at WR and i am worried more than anytime since Drew became a saint.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

I am still trying to accept passing on Parker

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

we lost a big sure handed target in jimmy, we lost stills with his best football ahead of him. now we have a declining colston and a small cooks. we need at least one big target. that's why i wanted waller so bad.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Michael Floyd in AZ is on trade block, young player could help us out quite a bit

I really hope we aren't relying on Toon, Coleman, Jones or even Colston to be big players, because it's a long shot and would be the dumbest thing we've done since we excpected Champ Bailey to win the starting DB role and not sign any corners.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Wonder why he is on th block

Interesting player,got to be somthing for them to ship him with Fitz getting old

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

junior for floyd! could live with that!

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

We couldn't afford that
Cant afford to trade or cut him

Floyd entering contract year,explains why

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Everyone relax, WR is going to be ok. We knew we were going to a run first team this year. Why waste a rd 1-3 WR if that is the case? I see a lot of UDFA coming in and I love the thought of Tanner finally making the team.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

If Tanner was good enough he would have made the team long ago

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

i do not see were we will have choice but to run.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

That's been the thought process this whole offseason; beefing the O-Line up and signing Spiller/Ingram both to 4 year deals

run the ball + play action clock control and good defense

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

NT Xavier Williams, please! I'd be fine w/ WR...McBride sounds intriguing.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

i hope spiller can stay healthy. if not we really have a problem.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

If not we call PT

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Coming up to my fav part

get those priority UDFA

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

well all i can say this flip flopping back and forth is killing us. gotta replace what you gut also.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

He stayed healthy until the Bills tried to use him as a between the tackles, every down back. He's not built like that, we'll use him like we did Sproles

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Any reason not to take Collins or Ifo with our 7th round pick? Low risk, high reward.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

I'd take Ifo and redshirt him

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Rams RB Zac Stacy traded to Hets for pick 224, per sourcej

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Ifo had surgery before his bowl game last year, read it somewhere...

Collins said he will not sign the contract and if he is drafted he doesn't have to sign and reenter the draft next year... Be safer to get him as a udfa where if he goes undrafted he can not reenter the draft next year

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Looks like we are paying Brees 25 mil to hand the ball off every play!

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

I don't get the hate from everyone; Colston, Cooks, Toon, Coleman, Hill, Watson, Jones, Morgan, Tanner, Saunders, Sneed.

Geez, they made it to the NFL for a reason, someone will catch the ball

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Just about on the clock

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Idk why we brought Morgan back

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Here we go, I think finally a WR here

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Marcus Murphy RB

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Say whattttt

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

RB Marcus Murphy with their final pick

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

I only trust Cooks. Toon took three years to show anythinga dn was still inconsistent. Colston is 32. Hill is a TE. Watson is a TE. As for Jones, Tanner, Saunders, Sneed they need to show more than what they showed last year.

And Morgan.....I just don't. We could be going a more simple approach where we run the ball and target Cooks as much as possible when passing. Also, those ps guys they need to make the roster, they haven't so far.

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Has the foot quickness and acceleration to make something out of nothing when called upon as a runner. Needs to play in space, but has quality traits for a runner, despite size. Has enough speed to turn the corner and hit a big run down the sideline. In passing game, mismatches inside 'backers with razor-sharp cuts to the sideline, creating easy throws for the quarterback. Looks to adjust his routes over the top of coverage if quarterback scrambles. Has excellent hands and concentration to finish a catch despite impending contact. Celebrated kick- and punt-return specialist with seven career return touchdowns at Missouri.

WEAKNESSES Needs to improve his reads and feel on stretch plays flowing outside. Small running back with limited amount of carries he can offer in a given game. Tends to float in space as a receiver rather than working back to the ball. Doesn't make the sharp, downhill cuts expected from him as a running back. Missed 2011 with a shoulder injury. He tries to get in the way as a pass blocker, but lacks bulk and strength to be trusted with blitz pickup on next level.

DRAFT PROJECTION Round 7 or priority free agent

NFL COMPARISON Dexter McCluster

BOTTOM LINE All-purpose running back with a lean frame and a big heart. Showed consistency of effort and production during his time at Missouri. His value as a runner is limited due to his size, but he has the potential to become a legitimate target out of the backfield and might warrant some reps in camp as a slot receiver. Murphy can step in and immediately challenge for the top spot as a kickoff and/or punt returner.

Marcus Murphy has Sproles-like receiving skills. Unfortunately for him, nobody has Sproles-like durability.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

His highlight reel is nothing but return TDs lol
