OK for everyone in this discussion. Please go watch tape on a player before you speak on them. When you say things like " Being fast doesn't make you a top 10 pick " its total horseshit. The reason this guy isn't considered a surefire top 10 pick is his size and injury concerns. He runs great routes, he is super fast, he jumps super high, and has a an edge to him that reminds me of steve smith or anquan bouldin. He is by far the best wide receiver for our team in the first round of this draft because his style is complementary to what AJ Green brings.
Another thing is people comparing him to fuller or cooks. He runs faster, jumps higher, and has better route running skills than either of these guys coming out of college. In fact the big knocks on fuller is that he was a straight line speedster.
I don't prescribe to one single method of drafting this year and ive made cases for multiple players to be taken at 9 because we should draft best player available. Do I want us to draft a receiver in the first ? not really but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be an awesome fit for our team if his medicals pan out. I want us to draft a guy who is a good scheme fit and makes the team better that includes running backs, safeties, corners, wide receivers, TE, and D Line in this draft. all of which I feel could and should be in play at 9.
