Let's talk WRs

With Parker, you like what you see, but you want more, and in this offense, you need to see more from the blocking side of the game and his commitment to finishing every play, regardless of whether he's involved or not.

I think he has AJ Green upside. I am fine with how Parker finishes plays and he competes hard from what I've seen.

Update on Diggs.

Maryland junior WR Stefon Diggs caught nine passes for 130 yards and a touchdown in the school's 38-31 win over Iowa.
Diggs took a screen pass 53 yards for a touchdown, showcasing vision and straight-line speed. This might not be a common opinion, but Diggs is a linear athlete and his role might be impacted because of it. There has been no indication if he will declare for the draft or not.

Not very high on Diggs.

You might not be, but he absolutely fits with what both Reid and Dorsey look for in a receiver. To a "T."

I think you're crazy... You'll be all over his ass when he runs in the 4.3's at the Combine. Kid is a playmaker, absolute dynamite in space (ala Jamaal Charles), and makes some very tough grabs even in traffic.

You did a 2015 mock in July? Pass that shit.

I'm prepped to put Diggs in the #1 slot too.

All I know is that after watching the Chiefs drop ball after ball again, they absolutely MUST draft a couple of receivers in 2015. Holy ****.

Slow down a little, AJ Green is likely the single most talented receiver in this league. He's better than Megatron, and arguably better all around than Dez Bryant, and without the emotional and attitude problems. That's like, super high praise to say someone has AJ Green upside, and I just don't see it.

Have you seen Parker block on the opposite side of some of these plays though? I don't know. Now, hell yeah he finishes strong when he's got the ball, or the play is coming to his side, but that's one of those "Big Tuna" situations where even the smallest shit can signify a transitional issue into the NFL.

And I bring up blocking because in this offensive scheme, with the personnel that we have, our receivers NEED to be able to block, there's no avoiding that. Which is why guys like Bowe, Hemingway, and Jenkins are seeing significant time while Hammond and Wilson aren't. And I really wanted to see Wilson getting snaps and he's been absent.

Yeah, Bowe's gottttta get his ass in gear and get open, and Alex needs to start trying to get the ball down the field a little more. Bowe is a ****ing rockstar at getting PI called against him. However, that miss today made me want to cry. But then he had two SOLID catches in contention on 3rd downs that made me happy again. He's just not super duper consistent and it pisses me off.

About the only person you can trust to get the ball consistently right now is Kelce, and he's still young and improving, and nothing on this team excites me more than his growth in this offense. He could be truly amazing as he and Alex get more comfortable with one another.

I Love the little I've seen from DAT so far, and Hemingway and Jenkins have both shown a thing or two finally, though with Hemingway's injury, which could be bigger than it looked, I'm hoping this means we see more of Albert Wilson who I was pretty excited about after the draft.

Cooper laid waste yesterday

Alabama's Amari Cooper goes out every week and shows his explosive playmaking ability. It's no surprise that he took his production to a record-breaking level Saturday at Tennessee, racking up 224 yards to surpass Julio Jones' mark for most single-game receiving yards by a Crimson Tide receiver.

He's able to find an extra gear, as he showed on his first catch of the game, going 80 yards for a touchdown. At 6-foot-1, he doesn't have the height of A.J. Green or Jordy Nelson, but Cooper's smoothness reminds me of Green's, and I've said before that Cooper's route-running reminds me of Nelson's.

The wide receivers that have been the most consistent and dominant this season are Cooper and West Virginia's Kevin White, who was held to less than 100 yards for the first time this season Saturday (3 catches for 27 yards and a TD). It seems like they're the top contenders for the Biletnikoff Award, given annually to college football's top wide receiver, and Cooper might have taken the lead Saturday.

Seeing Parker play against Florida States' tremendous DBs, there is no way that he isn't going to go in the top 15 in the draft. Way too much physical potential coupled with dominant production on the field.

[OldSchool]

That said, our best bet is now Kevin White and Jaelen Strong.

Sammie Coates, even if he tests well, may also be a possibility because of how raw he is. He'll probably slip like Patterson did in the draft.

Louisville senior WR DeVante Parker had eight receptions for 214 yards in Thursday's 42-31 loss to Florida State.
Excuse NFL scouts for salivating. Against a talented secondary featuring potential first-round CB P.J. Williams, Parker thrived, averaging 26.8 yards per catch (including a 71-yard reception). He missed the first seven games of the season with a broken foot, but has made up for lost time immediately, hauling in 17 receptions for 346 yards (he had 55 receptions for 885 yards and a UL-record-tying 12 touchdowns last year). Boasting a 4.39 forty, a 10-foot, 10-inch broad jump, an 80-inch wingspan, and a ridiculous catch radius, the 6-foot-3, 208-pound Parker is a future first-rounder. Rotoworld ranks Parker as the No. 2 draft-eligible receiver, behind Oklahoma's Dorial Green-Beckham.

Holy hell, that's crazy good production against two likely top 50 picks in the 2015 draft in Darby and Williams.

Even though he was out for most of the year, Parker could potentially leapfrog Cooper to be the first WR taken in the draft. He has superior measurables and is a bigger threat in the redzone while still possessing dominant deep ball ability and is also great in the open field. He is also better at making contested catches due to his physical dominance.

[OldSchool]

These poor DBs had absolutely no chance, just like we have nochance of getting Parker because he had to play so well once he got back healthy.

610 just said Dorsey was at the Louisville/FSU game last night.

Lots of players to look at
