He's nfl.com''s Lance Zierlein's top player for day three, saying...


<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">School: Oklahoma. Natural glider with ability to play outside but could be moved to slot due to size concerns. Often found running in the clear thanks to strong double moves and weak competition. Evaluating Westbrook is challenging due to a lack of strong competition, but his separation quickness, second gear, and reliable hands are all translatable play traits that should turn into catches on the next level.

Quote:Has to be BAP.    Maybe a fallback plan for when either Lee or A. Rob bails next season.


I think that's exactly what it is. They aren't anticipating being able to re-sign both Lee and Robinson after this year especially if they both show up and have strong seasons and they're going to hold the franchise tag to use on Blake if need be and not pick up the 5th year option on him.
Fast guy, but character concerns--and concerns about the talent he faced.  Haven't been a fan of the past two picks. 

Do we have a QB who can throw to this guy?

Quote:Omameh, but despite what Dave said yesterday, I think the loser of Robinson/Albert will kick inside.
 

Of course. Last year they said that Joeckel and Beachum were gonna compete for LT and Joke ended up at guard still. 
Quote:Is he now the fastest receiver we have?
 

Probably so.  Deep threat from outside or in slot.

 

Quote:Love the pick. The kid is a huge talent who fell due to character issues. Those issues are perfectly understandable. He's isn't a bad guy at all.

Domestic charges, poor interviews, declined invite to SR bowl.  Doesn't sound like he made much of an effort to explain himself or clear his name.

 

Like you said... not sure how "bad" that makes him, but you aren't doing yourself any favors by shutting out future employers.  If he can play football it doesn't sound like anything deal breaking, but certainly no boy scout.

The thing that stuck out to me here is his ability to improvise with a scrambling QB according to the earlier posted scouting report. I think that's one of the first times I recall seeing that listed as a strength in a report.
This dude and Lee can take turns taking the top off of defenses

Custody issues involving kids are always messy.

Dave was pretty blunt about Robinson not moving from left tackle, but that was likely some tough talk directed towards Albert.

And then, there's this text just now from an AFC area scout on Dede Westbrook: "No thoughts. It is what it is. He's a degenerate."
You have Allen Robinson, Allen hurns, and marquise lee



You just resigned 2 wide receivers this year. You also have rashard Greene going into his 3rd year.



I don't get it. Who's getting cut for Westbrook?

And a playmaker after the catch as well.

Benn?  He's a good dude but may be odd man out?

I think his value is special teams.
@Albertbreer So @McShay13 just said new Jags WR Dede Westbrook is the only player he's ever heard of being kicked out of a 15-minute combine interview.
