Im really liking Steve Smith's persepctive on the WR class.
I had a date cancelled last night, so I got to watch a few of them. He brings a unique perspective to the eval process.
a Few highlights:
-Loves, loves Polk. "He's a dog".
-Malachi Corley - Not suprisingly, loves him. Calls him the steal of the draft.
-Brendan Rice- gave him a comp of Pachecho, which made me laugh, because I knew exactly what he meant. He is an angry route runner.
-Tez Walker- says he should have stayed in school another year. I imagine its because of his hands.
-AD Mitchell- in this vid, he says he's a "90 percent body catcher". But he did another vid on Mitchell specifically and kinda retracted the comment. Now says, after watching him more, he's a top 5 WR.
-Xavier Leggette- You could tell he really likes him. Gave a comp of a slightly better DK Metcalf. When the Doofus who's with him asked if he meant, "DK Metcalf now or when he was drafted?" He just smiled and repeated it. I got to watch his video of Leggette specifically, he brought up everyone's concern...the 1 year of productivity. He questioned whether it was like a player in the NFL playing for a contract year. Said several times...which Leggette are you getting? But in the end, you could tell he liked him. And said you can't wait until the 2nd round. He broke down one play, a 10-12 yard comeback route. And pointed out how quick he comes to a stop and turns. It was like a step and a half. His eval of Leggette would make me better about taking him in the 1st (I'd still want Mitchell 1st).
He's really a good listen. I recommend it.
Leggette is the guy whose train I've been aboard for awhile now. And I think he'll be there at 28.
Man that dude has always been hard to listen to. Barely coherent and seemingly is doing battle with the words coming out of his mouth.
Saving grace here was he read off of notes…and he did offer up some decent analysis.
Oh and Gooby…the Leggette hype train is going to be full steam by the time the draft arrives.
In one of the vids I was watching, he said he'd like to learned Spanish. but then he stopped and said, "but I'm still working on English" and burst out laughing.
IF someone wants Leggette, he's not making it to the bottom of the 2nd. Im sure most GMs remember the DK Metcalf draft. They aren't going to let that happen again. Id prefer Mitchell or Thomas, in a trade up..but if they are both gone, Leggette would be my guy at 28.

Hahahah. That is hilarious. Gotta love America where a guy who can’t speak is paid to…speak.
Ya you’re right he won’t be there at 60…Beanie will have to trade up in the second…this is why I’d rather trade down out of the first and GET a pick rather than give one up.

**** always happens .... far too many get overhyped.
Maybe....barely. But I doubt it.
The two draft analysts I respect the most, Scouts, Inc. and The Athletics Dane Brugler have Pearsall at #10 and #15 respectively.
