Which WR would you pick in Round 2?

For this poll, assume we don't take a WR in Rd 1 and that all of these guys will be off the board by #97. Who would you prefer, if you had to take a WR, at #46? I'd take Moncrief...think the guy is a beast.

 

I chose Matthews but moncrief would be just as good. those two along with beckham are really the only three I like in round one or two. well besides watkins

 

I chose Moncrief since he's the only guy I see as a play maker at the next level, with the possible exception of Adams. I think that Matthews could be a good possession guy though. Any of these guys would be good, but Moncrief has the most upside of any of then IMO.

 

I chose matthews.....can't ignore his bloodlines

 

I picked Matthews. If he was gone, I would be equally happy between Adams or Moncrief...

 

I chose Moncrief he can block also.

 

Yes I think Moncrief can really excel in our system and embrace the Steeler way. His size and strength remind me of Boldin. Would love if he ends up I'm Black and Gold.

 

I like moncrief and Matthews but I keep leaning towards Bryant in the 2nd for some reason.

 

Yup. When first researching prospects back in Dec/Jan, I thought to myself "we need a beast at WR, like Boldin", and it just so happens that Moncrief was the first of very few names written down. I'd be all for taking him in the 2nd.

 

I voted other, cuz I want Benjamin. But, if i did have to pick out of these guys, it would be Moncrief.

 

I'm in for Lattimer or Robinson. I've watched a lot of Robinson, because I watch a lot of Penn State games. He is a player. Fast (Not blazing fas), but strong as an Ox when he goes up for a ball against a DB, isn't afraid to take a hit, decent hands, and what I like most comes up in the clutch, he made an amazing catch against Michigan on the final drive to tie the score. It was that there that had me sold on Allen Robinson.

 

I am completely blown away!!!!!!!!!!! I mean before I voted "other" had 3 votes and Cody Latimer had 1.......................

For me it isn't even close, Cody Latimer. He's 6'3" with a 39" vertical and having been a basketball forward he is more than use to going up fighting for the ball. He has solid hands and can flat out fly. Battling a left foot injury he still played the season and ran a 4.44 40. He has since ran a 4.38 40 with a healed foot. Did I say he's 215 Lbs, loves to block and by the way, he put up 23 reps on the bench... that's 225LBs ( more than his own weight) 23 times.........

He's the perfect fit for us, size, strength, build, speed, hands ......... He's also a junior so he's younger too.

He will be gone by the time we draft in the 2nd, sad to say, he may go at the end of the 1st, but if he's there in rd 2, its a no brainer, you run to the podium, RUN!!!!!

What Colbert has said is true. I'll add WR is one of the most difficult position for a rookie to learn in the NFL. Learning the Route tree, matching up against NFL CBs and defensive schemes and learning your own entire playbook, pass & run.

For the above reasons it rare a WR is an "impact" player his rookie season. Randy Moss's rookie season being the exception. Now can they contribute and have some impact? Sure.

I fully expect wheaton to explode this year. I also expect J. Brown to make the 53 have have a good season for us this year. My thing about Cody's age is we DON'T need him this year and by his 2nd year he'll be challenging Wheaton for the #2 spot. In fact I believe by the end of Cody's rookie contract he'll be a #1 WR for some team. Even if that team is us.

I don't know if I see what you do I Latimer, Cajun. Now, I don't watch tons of IU games, but what tape I've seen hasn't impressed me a bunch... Maybe I need to take another look.

 

Thanks TTF, I appreciate the footage.

He's a real nice blocker, and he made a few good catches in there too. I think he's solid. I still like Moncreif and Matthews better though. From the look of things, it seems like he will go before both of the two I like better... So what do I know? Lol

 

WOW...nuff said.....

 

Same here.

 

When you talk about adjusting to the pro game you might want to consider who coached Robinson his last 2 years.
