What did Higgins do against Alabama the previous year?
And everyone talks about the NC, this year: average out his stats from the NC, ad you have 48 catches, for 832 yards.
If he puts up that kind of production, with AJ and Boyd in front of him, why are we complaining?
Like I said, I don't hate the pick....it is just a concern of mine and the fact is that he isn't an immediate separation generator. It takes him a bit to "get up to speed". We have a lot of guys like that. The quickest in a phone booth, by far, is Ross who has been unreliable and may not be here beyond next season (I hope that is not the case).
When I saw Mims breaking ankles and rocketing of the LOS at the Senior Bowl week, I was salivating. Higgins is a heck of a talent, but I was hoping for someone that had a bit more suddenness. That's all. I don't mean to sound like that is complaining. We are killing the draft so far and I am beyond excited.
Start round 4 with ADG and our LB corps went from mostly duds to 4 studs in one offseason. The WR room is better and deeper. Maybe a mauling guard like Simpson in Rd 5 and get some late round athletes that are raw (McTelvin Agim, DT and Casey Toohill, EDGE?) and we will be ready to roll.
