What's your rankings of WRs in this draft class?

[Maddict5]

just to the guys that are talking about bowe. he rarely gets any separation. v good at making difficult catches but thats because he has to... doesnt have the explosiveness or route running to get open that often.

as for the lists of draftees, aj had a piece on reuben randle. i had a look at his highlight vids and while he does body catch a fair bit, he looks explosive and shifty, can make the difficult catches and i presume blocks well like most lsu wrs. hes my choice for wr @ #26 right now

jeffery, sanu and others didnt look nearly as explosive to me anyway

 

[badboy]

How about signing Mario to a long-term real, drafting a #2 WR of the future, an OLB to groom and win the SB with a #1 defense and a top 5-10 offense.

Trade one of the top 3 OLBs for top pick(s) and save money.
Sign a big FA WE in 2013 or trade 2 first rounders for one single higher pick to draft the best WR prospect in 2013?

1st re-signing Mario is not my main objective but I could deal with it at a rate that allows us cap space. I would eagerly sign Bowe to a AJ type deal (prob more upfront $)& use draft picks received for Williams to add strength to roster. Even with Bowe I'd go after Wright with #26. AJ/Bowe/Wright/Jordan White/Walter looks pretty good to me.

Barwin/Cush/Ryan(prob re-negotiate)/Reed/Vinny Curry

You've got to sign Mario before you can trade him.
That's why I brought up that scenario.

With another season for Barwin, Reed, (hopefully Brahman, too) and/or the rookie OLB "we're going to draft this year" to grow up, we can then trade Mario during the next off-season after we win the SB.

Don't forget that my scenario also includes drafting a WR in one of the first two rounds this year.

 

[76Texan]

I'm not real high on Blackmon... yet.

He's not on the same level as AJ Green.

I saw him drop 3 passes in two games (A&M and Baylor).
On another play, he made a good move in the red zone to beat the receiver on a quick-out route, but then fumbled the ball on the way to the end zone (resulting in a touch-back as the ball went into the end zone.)
He also caught two TD passes with only one foot in bound.

Dude got tools but he still needs to work on his trade.
I'm not sure I would take him over Julio Jones (I have to watch more of his games first.)

And again, I watched more of Wright (against OK. St. and Wash) and I wasn't overly impressed.
He's a great college slot receiver that benefited from going mostly against 3rd, 4th corners in the Big Twelve (and often, spotty college safety help).
I'm hesitant to draft him in the first two rounds.
(Again, I want to take a closer look at him before I have a final conclusion).

BTW, Ta-'amu (Wash) looked a little better than Nicolas Jean-Baptist (Baylor) but neither was any factor in a high-scoring game like the Valero Bowl.
The concern I have regarding Ta'amu is that why they didn't even play him in half of the short-yardage situations that they (Washington) faced.

Mario, we have worked out a trade to New England that gives you a very good contract and a team that went to SB 2011. We hate to have to go against you in playoffs but this is a great deal for you & Texans. Will you do this?

Mario: I want to be a Texan my whole career. I believe the Texans will be a Super Bowl contender next season and I wish to be a part of that.

ummm... just what do we mean by "very good contract? Other than for Brady, the Pats aren't known for opening their checkbook. Plus, Uncle Bob and Buddha Wade both like me. A lot. So why should I leave here?

After watching Super Bowl, I want two WRs with size from draft.

 

[76Texan]

After watching Super Bowl, I want two WRs with size from draft.

After watching the SB (and almost every single Pats game) I see that Kareem Jackson ahead of McCourty was, is, and will remain the correct call.

The Pats have been playing McCourty more and more at safety.
And they play a lot of cover 2 no matter who is at CB.
It makes the job harder for the front players when they can't bring a safety down to help either the running game or pressuring the QB or playing the TE close to the vest.

In our case, we're OK at CBs for now.

Yeah, I like for us to have a big receiver who can take the hit over the middle.
He should have decent speed to take advantage of certain situation.
I'd like to see more of Lester Jean to see whether his conditioning program was able to help him maintain a little balance of both.

If he can be used in situational situation (goal line, 3rd down) then we may be able to just go with a speedster that doesn't have the size.
I'm just not sure how high in the pecking order should we draft such a guy.

(I'm not sure that Wright qualifies as a true speedster.
I might compare him with Patrick Edwards later - and right now Edwards is flying very low under the radar; some even has him as an UDFA.)

 

[76Texan]

I was checking around for footages and news of Patrick Edwards from the Sr. Bowl pracitce and come up with the following.

Edwards managed to beat several CB prospects on the rise (including Janoris Jenkins - Fla/N.Alabama, Brandon Boykins - Ga, - Casey Hayward - Vandy, and Dwight Bently - La Lafayette).

The following footages did not show when Edwards beat Jenkins; they only show the other 3 prospects. But I read that Edwards beat several CBs. He did have a couple of drops on the first day of practice (after he had beaten the CBs) but overall for the 3 days he made some "impressive catches".
Too bad, he pulled a hamstring and didn't play in the Senior Bowl.

He will be at the combine.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqxQkySHk6A&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ame-J9iqZ8&feature=related

Edwards was in red UH uni #83
Unofficially, Wright (Baylor) is .02 faster in the 40 (which hardly means anything).

I went through the CBSSports top 500 list for the 2012 and 2013 drafts and the schedules for UH and Baylor.

Edwards actually faced more DB prospects and future prospects than Wright.

76Texan, thanks for info. I was too thinking about size and speed of WR. However, we maybe caught up and paying attention to speed portion too much. I think, WR who is already gifted with size and know how to utilize his size to advantage such as physical strength, maneuverability, leaping ability should be enough to separate himself to the opponents. Brandon Marshall clocked low 4.5 if I recall correctly. Of course, speed is definite advantage however, it also can be misread if we heavily focus on speed as most passing play is done no more than 30 yds (not include yds after catch but purely passing yds). So, what makes great WRs to separate their selves from opponents? This is where I think physical mismatch comes into play and whomever utilize his gifted size advantage may have better chance to success in the NFL. So I think, 4.4- 4.5 guys are decent enough for us to take a good look. Obviously, I ain't no expert so I don't exactly know how to evaluate player but things like Burst, Quickness, Leaping, Hands, Route, Physical strength also needed to be consider. I am so hooked on WR position like many of the fans here and more I think about the position more confused I get.

 

[Rey]

If I were looking for a slot guy - Wright would be my target without question .... But the Texans dont have trouble moving the ball between the 20's where a guy like Wright can help , their troubles are in the redzone. I want a guy who can cause problems in the there , a big target who creates a mismatch with smaller DB's on fades and crossing routes. A guy that you can throw it up and he'll go take it.
For my money , the reciever in this draft that most describes is Alshon Jeffery , second would be Michael Floyd.

We need the best player. Not a guy who just helps in the red zone.

All we've had are big WR's...Andre, Kevin, Jacoby...Hell, B.Johnson isn't small. Lestar Jean has a chance to stick next year and he isn't small.

OD is not really small...He's 6'3"...Dreesen is 6'4" and is a good box out jump up and catch the ball guy.

How often have we thrown the fade route to Andre? How often have we used Kevin Walters Big body in the EZ?

Even if we aren't throwing the jump ball type of passes, how often have you seen the back shoulder throw from a QB on the Texans roster?

The Texans have plenty of big targets. Hell, in fact that's pretty much all we've had. We don't utilize their size very often. The QB's need to improve on their redzone passing because we've been pretty mediocre at it. Our best RZ weapon has been Arian by far.

Id rather have a smaller more skilled guy than a bigger less skilled guy.

I would be happy with any of those top 4 or 5 receivers, but I would actually trade up for Wright if I had the chance.

Wright would not only help take pressure off of AJ, he'd also help take pressure off of OD in the middle of the field.

You have to look at what makes us successful as an offense though, and that all starts with a run oriented offense. 5'11" speedsters aren't typically known for their upfield 1 on 1 blocking skills.

This is why LZ's mock pick Randle inyrigues me.

He's big, dont know how fast Randle is but he was the Tigers best deep threat. He also is a very good blocker.

Randle kinda reminds me of Reggie Wayne.

That's also why I like Ladarius Green (I know, TE) and Streeter in the 3rd if we trade away our first round pick after ILB/OLB in the first. 6'6" and 6'5" respectively.

Kubiak had no problem putting David Anderson on the field.

And Wright is pretty physical and a willing blocker. Most CB's aren't 6'3" so it's not like he'll be blocking a lot of guys way bigger than him.

And besides all that, I'll take a receiver that is a better receiver everyday over a receiver that is a better blocker. Blocking as a receiver is all about effort and willingness.

5 years: @ $20m up front bonus ($4m per year for cap) $60m salary -$20m (bonus)= $40m = $8m salary + $4m bonus prorated= $12m avg year. Set up first two years low but guaranteed and back end remainder due to 2013 TV money raising cap tremendously.

Kendall Wright has an unofficial 4.39 40; what do you consider "speedster"?

 

[76Texan]

Kendall Wright has an unofficial 4.39 40; what do you consider "speedster"?

I saw that nfldratscout, for example, had him run an average of 4.42 which is a little faster Edwards 4.44

Donnie Avery 4.43 (combine) and 4.34 (pro day) was drafted early in the second.

Torrey Smith 4.41 (combine) (stood at his pro day) was drafted in the second round.

Avery stand 5-11;
Smith stands 6-1

Until something becomes official, that's what I would go with.

Wright comes from a non running offense so can you or anyone say for certain what kind of blocker he could be. If he is taking a corner and a safety deep does he have to block often in our D?

Well you compared speed with Wright why did you not compare stats? I'm sure Avery & Smith were pretty close to Kendall's?

 

[76Texan]

Well you compared speed with Wright why did you not compare stats? I'm sure Avery & Smith were pretty close to Kendall's?

I don't want to compare stats because different teams build their offense differently. Even the same team may have different looks from year to year because of change in personnel. And they face different opponents.

If we were to compare stats, I could have pulled up Edwards numbers and compare it to Wright.

Edwards: 89 catches 1752 yards 20 TDs

Wright: 108 catches 1663 yards 14 TDs

Who had a better season?


Edwards 48 games
291 catches 4507 yards 43 TDs

Wright 50 games
302 catches 4004 yards 30 TDs

Who had a better collegiate career?


More important, however, were the followings:

Remember I had noted that Edwards faced more draftable DBs (based upon CBSSports top 500 for 2012 and 2013) which more or less offset the overall level of competition.

Note also that I had at least did a game breakdown (UH vs S.Miss where the Golden Eagles game-planned as not to let Edwards beat them deep.)

Did you notice the competition do the same with Wright?
Did you ever see a team put a "triple-team" (basically a zone, but with emphasis on the main receiver) on Wright like the Golden Eagles put on Edwards?

Certainly not the Cowboys from Okl. St. (lots of cover one).
I don't think I see it from the Aggies, the Sooners nor the Huskies from Washington either.

Not saying that every team planned to take Edwards off the game like So Miss did.

In general though, I must say that teams were playing a lot more cover 2 against the Cougars as opposed to the Bears (from the games I've reviewed so far - the 4 games mentioned above plus the Rice game.)

 

[badboy]

76 I think you make my point as Wright is a speedster and his stats are much better than others who are bigger. Edwards would have done well in the Oilers Run & SHoot

 

[76Texan]

76 I think you make my point as Wright is a speedster and his stats are much better than others who are bigger. Edwards would have done well in the Oilers Run & SHoot

The Cougars and the Bears offense are not all that diifferent, especially in the passing game.
Many of the same formations.
TCU (Dalton) and Okl. St. (Weeden) are also quite similar.

Keenum had played under Art Briles as well as one of the co-OC Jason Philips (who was a receiver.)

They all start with the shotgun spread.
They all could have one or two, sometimes 3 backs (besides the QB) in the backfield.
The money is still made out of the spread.
And by spreading, I mean spreading the field horizontally, not vertically.

The Coogs also incorporated some of Dana Holgorsen's Air Raid (Texas Tech) into their playbook (Holgorsen also spent time at Okl St.)
Klif Kingsbury who played QB at TT joined the Coogs in 2010 as a co-OC with Jason Phillips.
Klingsbury will follow Sumlin to A&M as the OC; Phillips will go to SMU.
So perhaps next year, you can call A&M offense as the run and shoot if you're so inclined.

Baylor and TCU will go under Center from time to time, but mostly to run in short yardage (obviously to make it work, they have to mix in the pass once in a long while.)



Edwards can do very well in NE; he can also do well in Houston with the Texans.
He's not bad at all in run blocking.
A spread receiver still has to do a good share of blocking.
I even saw Edwards throw a CB into the ground.
I saw him engaging in some pretty good fights.
(David Anderson was pretty good for his size, too.)

I haven't really focused on Wright's blocking, but I don't think he was bad either.

...

In summary, I think I know your point, but I'm not quite sure;
it seems like you leverage a few things I point out to make a better case for your points (which is all good).

My point is that even as a Coogs homer, I still have to balance out Edwards size/skill sets and try to see (as objectively as I can) whether he can have a good future in the NFL. Even as I've seen him many times and I know what he can do, I still have to try to study him as a scout, rather than as a homer.

I have to consider his physical limitation; whether he can compensate for his size by doing this and this and that.

I did the same for Avery; I had my reservation about where he was drafted.
I was glad for Avery as I was glad for Routt (another Cougar) when he got the big contract from the Raiders (Routt ran some 4.29 if I recall it right). You haven't heard me saying that Routt is the best CB out there, have you?


A few years back, I did note that Routt was the one who chased down Jacoby Jones on a return and stopped him a hair from a TD.
I knew he (Routt) has speed; you never heard from me that he was a great CB.

This is a good example of why NFL teams have scouts spread across the country to cover specific areas, they become expert on talent within that area. 76 has the makings of a very good scout, if he could leave out of it?

Other than that I dont see a team with a real dire need at WR and I doubt all of those teams take one .... Then again maybe a team not listed thinks they find value at the position and un-expectedly takes one.


I would be real tempted to trade up for one of the top 3 - Justin Blackmon,
Michael Floyd or Alshon Jeffery in the mid teens should they still be on the board.

Vikings have garbage at WR, Browns have garbage WR's, Chicago has nothing at WR, Bills may be losing Johnson, Miami may be getting rid of Marshall. There's a lot of teams that could pick a WR higher than said WR might be slated to go.
