2016 Draft Thread. Is it too early? Never.

**BigPlayReceiver** · 09-22-2015, 12:58 PM

I've watch very little tape, so the comments come from highlights.
Quick notes on a few cats whom will surely get mentioned as WRs or KR/PRs.

Byron Marshall - Oregon: Small, good speed, some patience, not consistently quick/agile on tape
Marquez North - Tenn: Injured in August. Slow start. Outstanding contested catcher. Gamecock fans might say 'elite'. Production has been very slight.
Rashard Higgins - CO State: Skinny, good hands, not aggressive, doesn't consistently leverage his radius
Corey Coleman - Baylor: Smallish. Elite athletics: 4.38 / 45" v / 135" b / 6.62 cone. Routes? Not a natural hands catcher. KR/PR all day.

Treadwell looks like he has some Dez characteristics...mainly he's not a burner at all, but if you want someone that is going to fight for and make some tough contested catches, he's pretty good. Still concerned about his knee.

What about someone like Pharoah Cooper? He looks like he can kinda be one of those versatile guys who you can put all over the place.

Tulsa JR Keevan Lucas
5'10 198
2014: 101 (38%) / 1219 (38%) / 11 (48%)
2015 (3 gms): 19 / 342 / 5

La-Monroe SR Rashon Ceaser
6'1 192
2014: 77 (24%) / 872 (26%) / 3 (20%)
2015 (2 gms): 23 / 250 / 2
Noticed this guy flipping channel in 2014. Forgot about him. Finished with poor market share

Bowling Green SO Roger Lewis
6' 199
2014: 73 (23%) / 1093 (30%) / 7 (41%)
2015 (3 gms): 24 / 510 / 5
Off to a monster start. Worth watching

So Cal SO JuJu Smith-Schuster
6'2 215
2014: 54 (17%) / 724 (19%) / 5 (13%)
2015 (3 gms): 22 / 434 / 4
Off to an excellent start. Low 2014 market share though. Maybe should stay in school for 2016.

Notre Dame JR William Fuller
6' 184
2014: 76 (27%) / 1094 (32%) / 15 (50%)
2015 (3 gms): 18 / 397 / 5
Not sure how he does it. Looks just okay on field, but kills the market share
Update: Smoothest acceleration I've seen in quite awhile. Attacks the ball. Good body control. Excellent vision

Others that's I'll post numbers on later...

Trent Taylor La Tech 3rd year (5'8 180 -- agile, tough, not a natural hands guy; thinking KR/PR)
Jared Dangerfield Western KY 2nd year (6'3 215 -- production not quite there)
Cayleb Jones Arizona 3rd year 6'3 210 (slow start)
Teldrick Morgan NM State 2nd year 6'2 195 (local kid)
Corey Davis Western Michigan 3rd year 6'3 205 (looks solid)

I like Fuller a lot. Quick.

Dude is so smooth that I had a hard time seeing how easily and quickly that he was accelerating. Almost no wasted movement at all.
With that build though, I'd like to see some tape of him taking some good body shots and shaking them off.

I like how SC uses Cooper, but I can't find an area in which he excels. This is just off of highlights though.
If I (from memory) compare him to Bruce Ellington, I like Ellington more (a mid 3rd rounder on my '14 board FWIW).

And yup, Treadwell has some Dez and Demaryius in him for sure, but the possibility of having another "no-show/slow-to-show" rookie WR is frightening.

Just saw some film on Fuller. Nice.

Is he coming out?

I think he's a junior. He's eligible.

**wickedsolo** · 09-23-2015, 02:52 PM

Will Fuller is a junior.

6' 185lbs. So, he'll probably measure in around 5'11" 185-190lbs. Looks like he's probably a mid-4.4 runner in the 40, but he's got nice leaping ability, body control, and quickness. He's very sudden.

**Raveninwoodlawn** · 09-23-2015, 04:59 PM

If Perriman is what we all hope, I think if Fuller can be developed, he'd be a nice bookend to match with him.

Would be sweet. Fuller looks like he has similar skills to someone like Golden Tate or Emmanuel Sanders. Very quick. Very fluid.

Oh so Boyd is faster than I remembered.
Appears to produce almost effortlessly...like a natural: Garcon, Julio, Beckham.

Certainly, via Engram, we'd have some inside info on him as a person.
Monster market share numbers too.

'13: 85 (35%) / 1174 (38%) / 7 (33%)
'14: 78 (41%) / 1261 (52%) / 8 (47%)

Yeah, I just don't think he is a realistic target...even if we continue to disappoint this year, I think Boyd is close to a top 5 pick. Really...I don't think there is as much top end talent this year. Kinda reminds me a little of 2013 a bit.
