You not feeling Evans? His size is ridiculous.

I think Evans will be good...he needs to work on his routes, and we'll see if he can separate from DB's.

His size definitely makes up for some of that though. It's a really good WR class...could see 5-7 first rounders, easily.
 
What?! If Evans ran a 4.47 holy ****.

If you watched any a&m games the last couple years you know he is a physical beast. Wasn't expected to run that fast of à 40 doe

He's a long-strider. Long legs cover a lot of ground...I would assume he has a slow turnover rate for his 40 speed though.

40 times are overrated. Game speed is what matters. For example, Marqise Lee ran a 4.50 40, but he blew by everybody at USC...dude plays fast. I rarely saw Evans blow past DB's...but that's understandable due to his size. I wouldn't dare compare him to Calvin Johnson, but he is quite good.

Dunno wtf all that means, but Evans def gained seperation from db's in college.

He's not relying on his 40 time for his draft stock, he is a gamer and just needed to not have a bad 40 time. I heard people saying he would be waay slower than 4.47

Lol Pac-12 defense.
 
I'll go Jared Abbrederis as my WR most likely to surprise us looking back at this in topic in 5 years. Tough, sliced up Ohio State for 200 yards just purely from good route running and ability to make tough catches. Posted a 4.5. Good frame. And was definitely underutilized because Wisconsin just tried to pound everybody at the line of scrimmage.

Michael Campanaro. More people have heard of Abbrederis than Campanaro. Both are good though...Abb's has had some injury issues though. I also think underutilized is a stretch and a half...dude had 78 catches this last year. How the hell is that underutilized?

You want Watkins? Rams receivers blow, don't they?

Watkins is #1 on my list, with their first pick, whether it's #2 or a trade down, they had better come away with someone from the group of Watkins, Clowney, Robinson, and Jake Matthews. If their first pick is someone else, it's a whiff. Watkins is my hope. Robinson and Matthews are going to be outstanding, but I think with the Rams playing with house money, don't play it safe: go big.

They put him in a position where he could win his battles. That would be called utilizing his strengths.

In that case, they've done such a wonderful job of using his strengths that he averaged 4 yards less per catch this year than the previous 2. He had a new coaching staff that didn't fully understand how to use him. It's okay to admit. They were both former Utah Utes coaches, so it makes perfect sense.

Anyway, it's doesn't matter. He is going to a possession WR in the NFL. I'm not predicting stardom. He'll be one of those guys that's 30 + still sticking in the league though.

Typically increased catches = decreased YPC.

He increased his total catches and total yards this last year. I would argue he was used more effectively than in the past.

Hantbro, I'm gonna be starting a Fantasy Football Developmental Dynasty league later in the Summer, you have a regular NFL squad but also a Developmental team with college dudes.

You keep your whole team every year and each Summer we have a draft where any dude not currently in the NFL is avail.

Gonna be my first league like this, will be way fun to track College dudes more closely and use them i trades and stuff.
