Yeah, I know. I wasn't expecting him to be as good as Marshall at anything.
Quote:Lee - Desean Jackson
Robinson - Keenan Allen
Nice to see another vote for Keenan Allen. Personally I think that is very close to what I see Robinson as.
The DeSean/ Lee comparison is interesting, but Lee doesn't have the sub 4.4. long speed that Jackson does.

I know,,,Its just hard for me - when comparing players, not to take into consideration their body types, even if they do certain aspects of each's game similar.
Anyways, for my comparisons I'll go with
Robinson: Jordy Nelson (has the speed to get over the top, but mainly works the sticks and scores inside the redzone)
Lee: Kind of a mix of a few people, but I'll go with Torrey Smith. Fast, mainly stays on the outside in terms of routes, and his main jobs are to take the top off of defenses and YAC.

Now thats a fresh one...
Lee - Santonio Holmes (young Santonio that is)
Robinson - Jordy Nelson
I believe Robinson is a bit faster than Nelson though, but I feel those are fair comparisons for each until they get on the field and prove otherwise.

Yeah, see....this is closer to what I see Lee as. (rather than the comparisons to the Cruz', Wayne's, etc etc)

I agree, I see a 6'0 slimmer built WR with ability after the catch with his type of short burst speed and acceleration. Santonio now a days has lost a couple steps though.
I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Lee turns out to be the best receiver in the draft.....if he stays healthy. And I don't see why he can't. He was injury free in 2011 & 2012. If you google "top college football players 2013", click on the links dated before the 2013 season. You'll see him consistently ranked top ten and, often, 3rd-5th. He got hurt returning a punt late in September against Arizona St. He had to be helped off the field. No ACL though....just sprained. He re-injured it a few weeks later against Notre Dame in the first half. He wanted to go back in but Coach Orgeron wouldn't let him. The doctor said that he just needed time. Unfortunately, in the middle of the season, time he didn't have. He struggled the rest of the year. He still remained relevant though. He made a drive-saving 4th down catch against 4th ranked Stanford on a 13 yd. slant. The play enabled the Trojans to get within field goal range and Heidari nailed the kick to seal the upset. Lee left on a cart. Before the Las Vegas Bowl, Lee was able to rest his knee during the month and looked more like his old self. He had 7 receptions for 118yds and 2 TDs. He will be 100% by training camp. Picking him at #39 was an absolute steal and some are rating that pick as the top rated pick of Day 2.

A young Holmes is perfect. I completely forgot about him due to the last few years of him being irrelevant.

Robinson is 6'2'' 220lbs

I thought he was speaking of Lee, not Robinson with that comparison.
I have all these fuzzy feelings about the players we got in our draft. I look at each pick and think he is going to be a good player for us. I literally want every jersey.
