Quote:He runs terrible routes and takes full advantange of Manziel running around until he is open downfield for a jump ball. He is easily bodied (my term for being hit easily and moved around once hit or during a catch. For example Megatron is rarely bodied on a catch-hit whereas Shorts is routinely rocked hard) despite his size and doesnt have elite or even amazing hands in terms of college receivers.

 

Watkins is 2x the receiver he is and so is Blackmon and its not close. Not trying to attack you as a poster but Evans isnt very good and im having trouble seeing why people think otherwise.

 

Personally i agree with haterade. We need way more than WR and if anything in the pass catching department it needs to be a big time seam stretch TE in the mold of Cameron Jordan.

 

Evans is a combination of body-control, size, and hands talent. He's probably the most NFL-ready WR in the draft this year. I don't know much about his character, but his talent is obvious.

 

Watkins is just 6-1, 205 Lbs. I have reviewed lots of video of Sammy. I don't see much of a route-runner at all. I see a lag-behind track guy, who thrives with just a couple of repetitiously-run plays, and a jet receiver that may, or may not be a viable deep threat in the NFL. 

 

It will be interesting to see his posted time at the Combine.

 

I don't see Sammy as a particularly great pair of hands. He dropped several easy passes a'la stone-hands. I see a lot of nervousness in the body language prior to reception. This suggests that Sammy is not a naturally gifted receiver, and every pass thrown his way has the potential to be a wild adventure.

 

I didn't see a single case where Sammy was challenged by bump and run. I think NFL DBs are much better than Watkins. They should be able to erase him out fairly easy. The potential for pick sixes off Watkins is delicious.
