    What wide receivers from other teams might get cut that we could sign?

    This is the draft profile for a WR who is already on the team. Any guesses who it is?

    Strengths:
    Former basketball player. Has good speed and twitch for a big receiver. Can win in space and has tremendous ability to track the ball over his shoulder on deep throws. Has learned to vary route speed to help with separation on slants. Outstanding physical traits for the position. Sinks hips and sits down on route quickly for a receiver his size. Better acceleration than cornerbacks expect on free release. Can get to top speed quickly and has touchdown catches of 72, 81 and 90 yards over last two seasons. Has the body type to overwhelm small cornerbacks. Fights through initial contact after the catch and will grind out tough yards. Slimmed down entering 2014 and put up big numbers in pass-happy offense.

    Weaknesses
    Has limited playing experience. Needs to learn to use his hands more effectively against press coverage. Can be held up off release by smaller corners, despite size. Unsound fundamentals as a hands-catcher. Had 13 drops in 2014. Will trap ball against body and struggle with focus drops. Basic route runner at this stage. Below-average separation out of breaks. Predictable releases off snap allow cornerbacks to manipulate his routes. Inconsistent effort as run blocker if he doesn't square defender up. No dynamic traits near line of scrimmage, including after the catch.

    Draft Projection
    Round 4

    NFL Comparison
    Aaron Dobson

    Bottom Line
    Evaluators seem sure that ____ is a moldable piece of clay who can become substantially better as a pro with more coaching and experience. ______ clearly needs work with some of the basic fundamentals for the position, but with his size and an ability to win vertically, he has a high ceiling. He might need a redshirt year before he is ready to contribute consistently.

    I would've guessed Darren Waller, but I checked cheated and that's not it.

    Chris Moore? The only problem is who ever it is has the same problem as all our receivers. Unsound as a hand catcher, lots of drops traps ball against body bad separation.

    I remember this one. My local comp for him was Aaron Mallette-light. The "light" applied to his skill set.

    He has an awesome physical build, but if you combined Torrey and Waller, you get this guy's awkwardness.

    In view of the above, we have 2 (overdrafted?) castoffs from the Browns former regime on our current offense.

    One is the starting RB.

    That's...probably not ideal.

I think he's in a system that fits him now. Just seems like a waste especially with the WRs that got drafted right after him. Robinson especially.

    Once Jerrnigan committes that 1st bonehead PF or fumbles a return the Philly fans will turn on him.
