Re: 2018 NFL Draft - Draft Day
Great deep threat, great run blocker. Compares favorably to Allen Robinson according to some of the draft experts.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft - Draft Day
Gotta admit I don't know much about him, I am liking what I'm seeing though. They're saying he's a project but that shouldn't be a problem this year. Hopefully he's ready to go year 2, we let Ginn walk and we run with a big, young WR corps.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft - Draft Day
It took a minute but this pick is starting to grow on me. He should get plenty of reps with Meredith slowly getting back in the mix and I feel he will contribute early with a little coaching from Coach CJ.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft - Draft Day
Big playmaking receiver who catches everything thrown his way AND can take the top off the defense. 3rd down’s are his bread and butter. Absolutely great pick.

What I've seen in Tra'Quan is unsure hands, bobbles balls/un-clean catches against his body... He struggles against press corners and I don't seem him taking the top off defenses with a 4.49 sec 40... While only 6-1, his arms are longer than his height - but he doesn't show a large catch radius, catching many balls against his body... His route running is, well, raw, undiscipline, rounding off routes, lacking suddeness in his breaks... One of his positives is that he is a willing and able blocker downfield for teammates... But we didn't need to take a slightly better Brandon Coleman in Round 3 - he was a Round 5 pick at best... Especially with guys like DT Harrison Phillips, OL Alex Cappa, TE Dalton Schultz, QB Kyle Lauletta still available... As fortunate as last year's draft was, I'm not very optimistic about the grade on this draft in three years... And if we're drafting because of a window on Drew Brees, I'm especially p*ssed off that we've mortgaged the future for one guy... Further, where was this urgency since the Superbowl win in 2010 or even three years ago? |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
