DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2018 NFL Season 2018 NFL Draft The draft's best receivers

Equanimeous St. Brown is intriguing to me. He is 6'5 and ran a 4.48 40. Production could have been better but in his defense he played for Notre Dame, a team with poor QB play. I think he might be there with our last 2nd round pick.

I have no receivers to pimp.
I think that whole mindset is counterproductive to good draft evaluation talk.

But will gladly talk receiver skillset.

Some receivers to add to your list available at various points in the draft:

Michael Gallup
DJ Chark
EQ St.Brown
Deon Cain
Jordan Lasley
DaeShawn Hamilton
Anthony Miller

and a late round guy I really like is a lil fella Keke Coutee

DJ Chark showed me something at the Senior Bowl. He followed that up with the fastest 40 time at the combine. I haven't watched his tape, and others have mentioned drops, but what I have seen has been electric.

I like ESB's size/speed. Again, I haven't watched tape, but he played with some spotty QB's, so his tape might not be indicative of his abilities.

I haven't heard the drops mentioned in relation to DJ Chark.
I haven't watched a ton but drops didn't seem to be an issue for him.

EQ is height/weight/speed dream of an outside receiver.

How can talking about a player we have watched be counterproductive to good draft evaluation talk????

Question for the thread.

Are people looking for a particular 'type' of receiver? (outside, slot, X/Z)

I was originally in the James Washington and/or Anthony Miller camps after watching a few games of both of their games this year, they both have the potential to be Hines Ward type guys. But, I've backed off a bit mainly because I'd like either someone that is a burner or has more size (they're about the same as both Landry and Coleman).

I like the idea of Chark, but I'm not convinced of him. LSU QB play seemed poor and they seemed to be more running-centric. Can he run all routes on the route tree or is he a one trick pony? I know he did well at the senior bowl, so maybe he showed he can run all routes. No thanks at 33 or 35.

I like St. Brown's size/speed, but I don't even recall him from the ND games I watched.

I never saw Sutton, but from what I've read of him, I'd be hesitant in the 2nd to draft him. Maybe at 64.

I have a good friend that is a Clemson alum, so I have watched quite a few Clemson games, and I think Deon Cain is underrated. Drops are my biggest concern about him - it seemed to be concentration. He didn't run the whole route tree, which is a concern as well. I'd definitely take him at 64.

Overall, I'm not "in love with" any of the receivers in this draft, beyond Ridley.

I think we are set with Landry in the slot. Gordon is a huge risk and Coleman has yet to be productive so I'm looking at outside receivers.

BOTTOM LINE Tall and fast, Chark is a linear route-runner who may need a limited route tree, but who has the potential to back safeties off the line of scrimmage. Chark will be coveted by play-action passing attacks looking to win with chunk plays down the field, but he'll need to improve his ball skills to take advantage of all that speed. Chark could struggle early on against press coverage, but he has the ability to become a solid WR2.

Not a fan of EQ ... way to inconsistent ... frail as all hell ... no thanks ..

thanks. there's certainly value to a burner that has a limited tree...but we have holes to fill and I'd rather use 33/35 for other positions. Looks like he's slated round 1-2, so if he fell to 64, I'd definitely consider him.

I like DJ Moore, Sutton, and the kid from Bama

I posted that because I had just read it before you posted. It is only one man's opinion. At least his hands don't seem to be an issue. I really like that.

There is nothing to be confused about.

I responded specifically to the comment: "Pimp some receivers."

Pimping a prospect isn't the same thing as talking about a player that you've watched.

I think 'pimping' a prospect mindset is counterproductive to good draft evaluation talk.

Unless you want this thread to be like the QB threads where people 'pimp' their QB and down the other prospects?

I agree.

If we picks sooner, Kirk of A&M looks like a can't miss guy.

Kirk or Moore, please.

Moore

I'd like us to draft Equanimeous St. Brown just to hear Doug Dieken try to say his name on the radio broadcasts.

The mid/late round guy I like is J'Mon Moore from Missouri

For me I'd hope for one or two from this group:

Kirk
Sutton
Chark
St. Brown
Ateman

Generally I want a big outside guy. I'd take Kirk because he looks like he could be really good. We flip our WR corps from bad to really good with the addition of Landry, the return of Gordon, and one or two of these guys, IMO.

My hope is Joe takes over for Diek.

Diek has had a good long ride. It might be time for one LT to hand if off to another.


Maybe do a year with both Diek and Joe in the booth to allow Diek to take his victory lap, so to speak.

Joe Thomas didn't lose all that weight to put on radio.

I like Courtland and Washington because they make good adjustments to the ball and they have nice soft hands. If we traded with the Bill I'd take Mason at 12 and Washington at 22. Those two work great together.

Maybe he did it for his family and health?

We should sign this guy named Jordan Matthews.

Then we don't need to worry about drafting a receiver for when Coleman goes down or Gordon relapses

i haven't heard about Matthews in awhile. I thought he was hurt?

I thought he was a decent #2-3 receiver when he was healthy.

Yup. He had some knee injury that finished him on IR last year with the Bills. But he hasn't had surgery or anything.

Guy produces. I wonder why he keeps getting overlooked

Ridley or DJ Moore for me. Could easily get back into the mid/late first round and snag up one of those if they so pleased.

I think Ridley is slightly overrated, I also think Sutton and Clark are also slightly overrated.

I really like DJ Moore and Kirk the most.

Anthony Miller is interesting to me but haven’t watched a lot on him.

TreQuan Smith and JaMon Moore are two other guys I like.

A couple bigger receivers who are interesting to me are Alan Lazard and Jaleel Scott.

And I’m not really pimping anybody.

Who?

He is Who?

Oh I've been watching the Browns too long. So fitting.
