Boyd can play inside or out because he can beat press, run a full route tree, run crisp routes and has enough speed to get deep (Boyd ran a faster 40 time than Larry Fitzgerald). Boyd's comparison coming out was Keenan Allen and he didn't show anything last season that says he can't still be on that level.
Ross measured 5'11 at the combine not 6'1.
What has captivated everyone is his speed, he can catch along with a bunch of other WR's but it's his speed that makes everyone so giddy. I am telling you that the guy will need to work on getting off press and people are losing their mind. I am not saying he can't be good, but people act like speed means success when Al Davis proved that was not the case. Go look at the list of the top 10 40 times in combine history.
Good stuff, thanks for correcting me on JR's size. He would have problems getting off of press coverage if
you don't line him up fast enough. I think in an up-tempo Offense where Dalton seems to thrive he would
fit perfectly. Tossing him quick Slants would really take pressure off.
I am definately captivated by his speed, as i should be. That is faster than Heyward Bey by quite a bit and
unlike Bey, Ross has good hands. Davis is actually falling down my board more cause he played against weak
competition and we don't know how fast he is honestly.
Atleast Mike Williams ran the forty at his pro day and shed my fears.
Not for taking a WR at 9 but if we did, i hope it is John Ross or Mike Williams now.
