re: Jarvis Landry returning to school?

I bet Odell and Jarvis talk about it a lot, and I'm just guessing, what one do, the other will follow.

Just saying myskin is an ldiot

quote:

He would be taking a chance that an unproven QB can get him the ball the same way Mett

He has seen AJ10 for nearly a year.

If he and/or OBJ comes back, you should be excited because it tells you that they have the utmost confidence in AJ10.

Yea I agree OBJ and Juice will be 2nd rounder at the earliest.

A lot of people dont realize what type of WRs are taken in the 1st round. They are either 6'2+ 210 and are very rangy and physical and can run a 4.4-4.5 and jump out the gym, or they are 4.3 burners with major explosive ability and dont drop a ball like Tavon Austin, Percy Harvin, Kendall Wright etc.. Jarvis and OBJ arent either of those.

I mean look at the WRs taken in the 1st round the past 5 years. Kenny Britt, Hakeem Nicks, Percy Harvin, Jeremy Maclin, Michael Crabtree, Heyward-Bey, Dez Bryants, Demeryius Thomas, Julio Jones, AJ Green, Jon Baldwin, Kendall Wright, AJ Jenkins, Michael Floyd, Justin Blackmon, DeAndre Hopkins, Cordarrelle Patterson.

And look at the list of guys coming out this year: Watkins, Mike Evans, Lee, Adams, Jordan Matthews, etc.

Those guys fit either the 6'2+ 210lbs rangy/physical or they are 4.3 / big play guys with great hands.

And I would take Jarvis ahead of OBJ. Yeah OBJ is more explosive, but he has inconsistent hands. You dont take a WR that is a deep threat with his size and inconsistent hands in the 1st or 2nd round. I think Jarvis has the best chance of sneaking up into the late 1st / early 2nd, but its a long shot. I could see a team with a good QB and a good offensive system take him early because Jarvis has great hands, runs great routes, great run blocker, and will be in rhythm with whatever QB he plays for. If a QB wants him at 7 yards, he will be at 7 yards.

And both of these guys are #2 WRs in the NFL. You dont draft a WR in the 1st round to be a 2nd option. You go for a home run guy(Percy, Austin), or a physical freak like Julio, Dez, Nicks, etc.

But, Jarvis could be a huge steal in the 2nd - 3rd round. Hes a blend of Steve Smith and Victor Cruz on the field IMO. Not the biggest, not the fastest, but will catch anything thrown his way, is more than willing to go across the middle, blocks great and runs great routes, and plays with an attitude that every team in the NFL needs.

Just because they arent 1st rounders doesnt mean anything. WR is that spot where you can be great, regardless where you were drafted or if you even were drafted. And both guys are good. They will be fine at the next level.

I can see Jarvis having a very solid 10+ year career in the NFL, and OBJ being a WR that takes the top off the coverage, but also being a very successful return guy.

Edit: And I will never bash a kid or say it was a bad decision when it comes to staying or going pro. We can sit here and say oh thats a dumb move he could of moved up in the draft if he came back, or thats a dumb move he should of left. Fact of the matter is, we arent those people. We dont know what kind of home situation they have, or how there relationship with coaches are. And the future is never guaranteed. What if a kid was a 3rd round projected pick, but came back and had a bad injury late in the season like Mett? And i will never say its a dumb move for a kid to come back to school another year. They could suck in the NFL and be done in 4 years. Without a degree.

Its their decision, nobody elses. And I support all these kids and the decision they end up making.

I'm willing to bet Landry is 100 percent gone. He's a 1st-2nd round pick depending on needs. NFL scouts are drooling over him.

Link?

What the frick do you want a link to? I posted my opinion.

bayou, wtf?

Yea he says that scouts are drooling over him, but just his opinion. Dont get it

Im with you on the rest.

Justin Blackmon is 6'2 210lbs and is a extremely physical WR that runs a 4.46.

Maclin is 6'0 200lbs that runs in the low 4.4s and is 1 of the best pure athletes in the NFL and 1 of the most dynamic guys in the NFL with the ball in his hands. Hes 1 of those rare weapons that you can line up all over the field and just try to get him the ball.

Hakeem Nicks is 6'2 210lbs that ran a 4.51 and has 10 1/2 inch hands.

Wright was the only 1 in that list that kinda stuck out to me. But, hes 1 of the best route runners in the NFL right now and arguably has the best hands in the NFL. And they drafted him to be their #2 WR behind Kenny Britt. At the time, it was a good pick. Now Britt is all messed up and never plays and will be released in the offseason. So who did they draft last year? Justin Hunter at 34th overall to be their #1 future WR. And hes 6'4.

But still, minus Wright, thats 1 WR in the past 5 years that doesnt fit the typical 1st round mold that I explained.

OBJ may run 4.4s. But that wont sneak him in the 1st round. The worst thing for a WR to have is inconsistent hands. Whats the biggest knock on OBJ? Inconsistent hands. And his official height at the combine will be an inch shorter than 5'11. Guarantee that.
