I'm not sold on Evans at all. He relies way too much on his physicality and using his hands. The plays he gets away with in college will draw plenty of offensive pass interference calls in the NFL. Plus he's not really a great route runner and basically benefited from an offense that was very pass heavy. Too much bust potential for my liking.

City of Angels :blessed:
marshall, vjax and aj green are all in that range.. i think colston is too but he's not really on that level. :yeshrug:

None of those guys are really the same body type as Evans besides VJax that's actually a great comparison.

Marshall sort of it is, but he's much more of a freak athlete than Evans

5'9 160 though
He is smaller but the way he plays reminds me of Antonio Brown. Saunders can probably put on a little more weight . Both are quick little speedsters that have that PR capability. Saunders like Brown can play on the outside or in the slot.

Cooks reminds me of a black Wes Welker. That possession WR, who can play both outside or in the slot. Cooks has more speed then Welker tho.

I agree.

He really benefited from broken plays created from Johnny Manziel. I am not sure about his route running abilities.That being said, he should be able to :eat:moderately well in the RZ due to his size alone....

Yea, I can see him being a red zone thread. His route running is really bad. That's why I never understood the comparison with Evans and Alshon Jeffery or Michael Floyd. Both have trouble creating space at times, but both are very crisp route runners. Something Evans is not. And I never got the V-Jax comparison either.

Marques Colston is more accurate. But he was also a 7th round pick. Mike Evans is not a 1st rounder to me :manny:
 

#1 pick

I am breaking down some notes on Boyd, my goodness he was terrible with the intermediate ball as a Jr. He really improved at it as a Sr. Going through his numbers, Tajh got better but my goodness he was terrible v. FSU and USC. People can say what they want but I think he gotten better. He didn't have a run game as a Sr and had a great one as a Jr. He improved. I really think teams are underrating him. He is more impressive across the charts than Carr. But his spotty decision making, inconsistency in big games, mechanics breaking down out of no where needs to stop. People can say he had great weapons but he put the ball out there for them to make plays. He is very accurate within 10 yards, after that, he can make all the throws and can throw WR's open but he is kinda of spotty.

Carr is one player who is buyer beware. He is amazingly horrible with pressure while good vs the blitz. He has talent but he's been babied to a degree. If you don't have a legit #1 WR, a running game, and a decent OL... I wouldn't touch him but if you do, you could be getting someone special. He is good v. the blitz and he can throw it in tight spaces.

If I remember Jeffrey slipped because he was fat as hell.

I see Evans as a Malcolm Floyd type guy


Remember this dude?
My bills got conned and I thought he would be :noah:

6'5 220 and sucked

That's because the Bills can't evaluate worth a shyt. Benjamin is 6'5, 230-235. Was running high 4.4-low 4.5 at 245. Not saying he will be a bust or sleeper, it just depends on how he's used and who he's drafted by. Can't wait to see who drafts my nikka Wilder. I think Jernigan will have a better career than Sutton who's rated higher. I'm only checking where I think FSU guys are going this year. I've seen a lot of Steeler fans who want Telvin Smith but he has to get his weight up or move to OLB.

I remember at one point he couldn't even get more carries than onterrio mccalleb

I've been stanning for Charles sims sincehe was at Houston, picks up blitzes, catches out of the backfield reminds me of a Clinton portis




I think Mason could be a better pro than all of them. Plays like Ray Rice.
