FWIW

Worthy is at least my WR4. People sleeping on him big time. And not because his 40 time.

Not sure if true, but some including I think cover1 have speculated he was 165 lbs just so he could try to break the record 40 yard dash time and will likely play closer to 175 lbs.

2017 Draft Profile: Overview Jack-of-all trades but master of none, Samuel showed an ability to gain yardage and create scoring opportunities in a variety of ways on a talented Buckeyes offense. However, NFL teams will want to slot him into a more defined role, which is most likely at receiver. He is still learning the position and has separation quickness to create open throwing lanes, but while he's sharpening his route work, he could find early reps as a kick returner. Strengths - Has crisp feet for sudden change of direction - Long-strider with deep speed to challenge press coverage over the top Shows defender an exaggerated jab fake at top of his routes to generate lean from cornerback and create separation out of his break - On comeback routes, can stutter feet into his break for a sudden stop-and-open timing throws - Has explosiveness both vertically and out of his breaks to uncover on all three levels - Can ramp it back up to top gear quickly after tapping his brakes in space At his best when matched up in open space - Gets faster and more dangerous as the play unfolds - Has two years of kick-return experience - Moveable matchup piece Weaknesses - Plays with some hip tightness that make his play more linear than fluid - Needs to work on release against press - Could get hung up off the line and into his routes by athletic, press-cover slot men - Has unnatural hands that fight the throw - Will default to body catches - Didn't have as many "pro-style" touches as teams would like - Averaged just 5.5 yards at the catch point, and several carries came on jet sweeps and stretch plays from shotgun - Average ball-tracking and adjustments to poor throws - Wasn't asked to handle blocking responsibilities very often

2018 Draft Profile: Overview Three-year starter with an excellent motor to go along with above average toughness. Joseph's athletic ability and quickness serve him well as a run defender, but he is unlikely to be much of a factor as a pass rusher on the next level. Joseph will need to add mass, but he's got a shot to fit into a rotation as either a three-technique or shade nose in a 4-3 defense. Strengths Plays with very good quickness off the snap. Impressive 4.97 forty at his pro day with a 10-yard split to match. Quick hands, strong hands. Flashes two-gap sensibilities with ability to punch, spy, and disengage. Plus agility to scrape along the line to mirror the runner. Explosive lateral burst to snare running backs from the backside. Never stagnant with relentless motor. Good feel for blocking schemes and attacks his attacker. Makes impact tackles near the line of scrimmage. Weaknesses Lacks pass rush production relative to his athletic ability. Was often subbed out on obvious passing downs. Has played nose at Rutgers and could face move to three-technique in pros. Could use more mass and anchor at the point of attack. Can be stalemated when facing quality strength across from him. Was unable to impose his will against Michigan State's Brian Allen. Needs twists and games to help him get off the mark as a rusher.

You’re right, but if/when he mentions ranch dressing…

Taron. Maybe Milano or Diggs.

Going to be fun to unearth some takes come Fall though

Why are people so against… … moves that clearly give JA17 more dangerous weapons … having RBs/WRs who can be deployed all over the field … being able to disguise which pass catchers are doing what (remember that pre-snap motion is a thing) … stats showing Samuel is not strictly a slot WR but is a model of production consistency … the idea that a “boundary WR” can be less than 6’3” 215 and still win because separation is actually the most important attribute … ?

Would you just stop it with these facts? Getting in the way of many people’s predetermined emotional response!

Elliott is intriguing. Other FAs available. Otherwise, day 3 pick.

I’ve gone from wanting Worthy because I think he’s at least WR4 in the draft… To wanting Worthy just to see the board complain that “He’S aNoThEr SmAlL sLoT wR!” despite the facts that he plays big, runs great routes, and is consistently productive on the boundary.

Couldn’t just let us enjoy our new WR for a bit? Such T Swiftesque attention seekers. But practically, I hope this means they are not targeting Worthy or McConkey.

Where are all the people who should be upset we signed a slot WR? Or who think WRs only operate from the slot or only operate outside? Also, I feel these lists of our healthy fleet of pass catchers are sleeping on Knox.

Huge! Anticipated this somewhat with the Brady connection. Now get a FA starting safety so we can go into this draft with true positional flexibility.

People commenting on the page count, you do know if we were just in talks with him this whole time instead of having signed him that this would be at like 50-60 pages, right?

We’ll see if ATL can take the division from the Bucs or sneak in as a Wild Card. Is their OL good enough to keep Cousins upright?

Please stop making so much sense

Would love news about Hollywood Brown or Curtis Samuel

Yeah, I’m not sure that’s how comp picks work

How do you know what comp picks are being awarded next year?

Hmmm an outside WR who does not affect comp picks…

Some might say they are having a sneaky good offseason

Very, very sneaky
