Name one advantage Landry has over ODB...


Landry is better at attacking the ball in the air. He catches just about anything thrown his way, even if the CB on him is fighting for it.

This is my argument as well. I think OBJ offers more versatility as a football player, and as such will grade higher in the draft. He also has a lot of big play potential with his freakish athletic abilities and natural talent, his great hands and natural ball location skills. I think Landry is a better route runner than OBJ, and as posted above, more competitive for the ball. Those things are technique, and Landry has probably had to work on those things to be competitive up until this point. I agree that OBJ has a higher ceiling though.

It's amazing what combines can do to good players. Definitely can make or break a player.

OBJ is a tremendous athlete, but I found that he doesnt locate the ball very well and would drop easy passes. Of course, his athleticism helped him out on errant throws from Mett and let him make SC Top plays.

Landry seems to be the pro wr out of the two. I see him producing like Alshon Jeffery.

OBJ has the upside of Antonio Brown, but could bust like Ginn Jr., which as a homer, I hope doesnt happen to him.
