Devontez Walker Will Be To Lamar What Torrey Smith Was To Flacco

2011 Draft



Receivers drafted ahead of Torrey Smith in the 2011 Draft

#4 AJ Green, Georgia- Bengals
#6 Julio Jones, Alabama- Falcons
#26 Jonathan Baldwin, Pittsburgh- Chiefs
#44 Titus Young, Boise St.- Lions



2nd round pick #58 Torrey Smith- Maryland
Strengths
Smith possesses outstanding straight-lined speed and good size measurables. Explodes off the line of scrimmage. Flashes the ability to high-point the football. Has the second gear needed to threaten a defense vertically. Eats up cushions and can track the deep ball well. Plays with passion, exhibits great effort while run blocking, and has intangibles.

Weaknesses
Must improve his route-running and ability to consistently separate. Takes too many steps at the top of his stem. Ideals down in and out of his breaks. Still learning to identify and get to soft spots in zone coverage. Hands are adequate but won't consistently bring down the tough catch. Not overly elusive in space.

Career average of 30.7 yards on touchdown receptions.
Ability to stack coverage and save catch space on go routes.
Squares pads and bodies up cornerbacks on slants.

Leaping and full-body extension turn would-be overthrows into catches.

Inconsistent tracking and adjusting to deep balls.

Or fantasy. I hope you’re right. We are way overdue on a little luck on a WR.

He has a ton of upside I hope they click

[Culex]

That would be great. Torrey Smith was crucial in that SB run

[RavenXbio]

Is Walker a dpi whore? That’s where Torrey really made his mark

If they do click, adding in Flowers and the 2 TEs, what's left for Bateman to do?

draw coverage away from the inside ;-)

[Captain Silver]

Wide receiver hope around here is like Maryland humidity. A guarantee and annoying...

[RVA7]

A wide receiver, drafted by the Ravens. And in the 4th round.

He’ll be special teams this year. Next year he’ll either be practice squad or bouncing night clubs in Miami

Especially since, whether people like to admit it or not, Patrick Ricard actually fits the mold of how Monken used 2 TE’s at Georgia FAR more than playing Andrews and Likely.

People acting like Likely and Andrews will play a lot, together, and both routinely getting targets did not watch that Georgia team closely at all.
