You idiot if he improved any on last year 713 2TDs 329 return yards 2 return TDs, he'd be a 3rd rounder.

I was expecting at least 900 receiving yards and 6 receiving TDs. I said as much before the season started in a thread I will update.

let's be honest here. Austin I'll admit is a lil more explosive than Beckham, but not Jackson. And the real difference in these guys being taken in the first is the type of offenses they were involved in their whole careers that allowed them to put up those type of numbers. Your just really getting to see what someone like OBJ can do now that he's finally being utilized.

Well the be fair he had like 4 touchdowns. There are a lot of NFL WRs that have drops. Its part of the game. Also ODB is a three year starters, so it isn't exactly coming out of no where. so in summation, shut up.

We're talking about DeSean Jackson. The guy that went to Cal and plays for the Eagles. I don't know what Jackson you are talking about if you think he isn't more explosive than OBJ.

He has always had great talent. In years past it just seemed as though he tried to hard and kinda played out of control (see Florida). This year, it's like it has all clicked and he has finally put it all together.

He has learned how to use his skills to take advantage of the situation given and not just try to make shite out of nothing.

I'm not anointing anyone dickbreath, I'm asking a simple question. Where would he go? I'm thinking he's an early 3rd rounder right now but could improve.

Offenses idiot. I'll say it again it's the offenses. You're just getting to see what the kid truly can do now because the ball is finally being passed on a regular basis.

OBJ and Landry go in the top three rounds for sure.

I bet OBJ runs mid 4.4s at best.

OBJ is shifty with good speed, but lacks elite top end speed. He appears to have long arms, but last night's announcers were unclear about his hand size . With his wingspan and hands, he plays taller than he is. Probably an early 3rd rounder at best.

Very few 4.3 40's at WR get drafted in the first round. Mid-low 4.4s at WR with good size, mechanics, and hands will get you drafted in the 1st. Examples from recent draft..

DeAndre Hopkins 6'1 214 lbs ran a 4.57 (1st round)
Justin Blackmon 6'1 210 lbs ran a 4.46 (1st round)
Michael Floyd 6'3 220 lbs ran a 4.47 (1st round)
Kendall Wright 5'10 196 lbs ran a 4.61 (1st round)
A.J Jenkins 6'0 190 lbs ran a 4.39 (1st round)
