Capable is a big step up from what we've had other than Thielen and Diggs.YikesVikes wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 1:54 am He's the only WR that I didn't really care for in the draft. I think he is a talent but he might have some bust potential for a 1st rounder. He doesn't separate enough for me. I think he will be a capable WR but not a star.
We no longer have Diggs, so he is replacing Diggs. I hope he reaches his potential but I am really afraid of him against press coverage. Im hopeful he turns into a stud but he reminds me of Steve Smith from the Giants. Good at everything but elite at nothing.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 2:27 amCapable is a big step up from what we've had other than Thielen and Diggs.YikesVikes wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 1:54 am He's the only WR that I didn't really care for in the draft.

Hey we drafted a horned frog. Maybe another today.Texas Vike wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 10:11 am Give me SMU's Proche on Saturday or local boy Tyler Johnson (or both), just in case Jefferson doesn't translate to the NFL.
I'm glad we got a horned frog. Who do you think we might nab today? Blacklock or Niang? I was surprised that the Eagles grabbed Reagor at 21, but not really. That dude is super talented. It was interesting that Lamb slid and then Reagor went way sooner than most thought.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 10:12 amHey we drafted a horned frog.

I don't see Lamb's ceiling as that high. He'll be a great WR2. I'm not sure where he ranks if he has to be a WR1. He's in a good place with Dallas now, playing beside Amari Cooper.Texas Vike wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 10:17 amI'm glad we got a horned frog. Who do you think we might nab today? Blacklock or Niang?

If I were a Fantasy FB playing guy, I'd grab Lamb. He's going to be great for the Cowboys, unfortunately.fiestavike wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 10:46 amI don't see Lamb's ceiling as that high.

Thielen and Jefferson can both threaten vertically, but I'm with you in seeing value in a guy who can truly take the top off a defense. I didn't look into Duvernay. What kind of speed does he have, and is he able to track the ball well?Texas Vike wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 12:05 pm In addition to Proche and Johnson, I'd really like my Longhorn Devin Duvernay. He's built strangely for a WR--looks more like a RB, but he's super fast despite looking like a bowling ball, and offers YAC possibility. His highlights also show a guy that can take the top off a D.

Ran the 40 in 4.39 at the combine. Watch his highlights: he tracks the ball well.fiestavike wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 12:11 pmThielen and Jefferson can both threaten vertically, but I'm with you in seeing value in a guy who can truly take the top off a defense.

Surprising to see how many of his highlights are on deep shots. You expect a guy with that build be a bit more of a RAC specialist. I love the idea of getting a WR with that bowling ball build to add to the mix, and the speed and versatility to allow him to work all over the field is appealingTexas Vike wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 1:06 pmRan the 40 in 4.39 at the combine.

In games, he has a lot more RAC contributions. They didn't seem to make the cut on this highlight reelfiestavike wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 4:55 pmSurprising to see how many of his highlights are on deep shots.
