re: Mock Draft BS- Odell Beckham is not a good return man

Landry has great hands and works hard at running precise routes, but he doesn't have elite size or speed. In the grand scheme of things, that limits his potential some.

It doesn't just limit it some. It could make him uncompetitive in the NFL. We all saw Landry make freak catches while beating defenders in the air with his aggressiveness. It's not that the combine changed any of that. But his showing at the combine puts those catches in perspective. It makes you wonder if Landry had to make those catches because he couldn't get separation from the CBs. If he can't gain separation in college he won't be able to do it in the NFL, especially with how physical CBs are playing lately.

Now, I'm not sure if that's the case, but it should be pretty easy for NFL teams to find out if he has trouble gaining separation by watching his game film. So if he slips further than we think, that's why.

When comparing Jarvis and OBJ, it's a no contest. There is nothing physically that Jarvis can point to as being more impressive than OBJ. Physicality, hands, and pass blocking are things you can learn. You can't learn speed and agility. So no GM should have Jarvis above OBJ on his board. It's just the way scouting works.

Now, I would say Jarvis in the 4th has more value than OBJ in the first, but if his tape shows him having trouble gaining separation, I wouldn't touch him.
