I like Schwartz. Definitely wouldn't be a wasted pick, just by virtue of the fact that he'd bring a unique skillset to our team. It was easy to mock him to us when he was carrying a R5/6 grade (he's climbed a bit now). But I never understood why scouts grouped him in with Shi Smith, Jaedon Darden, Cade Johnson, much less Josh Palmer or Josh Imatorbhebhe. One good thing about Schwartz is that he does look the part on the field imo (as opposed to Trevon Grimes, for example, who plays slower than his time). It's not just straight ahead speed. Hopefully some of this press will get him the contract deserves.
But the first name that came to mind when I read your post was Damonte Coxie. He had a piss-poor pro day last week (4.77, 30 inch vert, 4 reps... something like that... brutal across the board) and carries a R6/7 grade right now. But he could well be the next Landry or Boldin. This kid's tape is fire. He's 6'3", excellent instincts/footwork, competitive af (in the good way), plays faster than his time, absolutely FEARLESS across the middle, playmaker, decent blocker, and his hands are glue. Whatever he lacks in separation and measurables he makes up for in body control and production. It would seem criminal to dismiss him on account of scores taken in a gym.
I mean, Antonio Gibson was a superb find for Washington last year and he played behind Coxie. I think the Memphis program is churning out legit talent these days (I'd consider Kenny Gainwell in R4 if he were there too). At worst, he could become the next Dezmon Briscoe for us (btw, there's room for him now!
).Curious- what do y'all think about this kid?
(Catch vs SMU at 2:53 is especially ridic)
