    I wanted to make a top 10 list for upcoming WR prospects, but I felt like it may be better to stretch that out over several threads while getting feedback from everyone.

    John Robinson spoke about getting "dependable play-makers" for Mariota, so Im lead to believe we'll go WR at some point this draft, but who, and when?

    After reviewing game footage the first up is Pittsburgh's Tyler Boyd. At 6'2" 200lbs Boyd has the size to play both WR and RB much like he did while in college. 2015 was a productive year for Boyd, turning in 926-yards receiving and 349-yards running with 6 TD's.

    Now to the tape.



    Thoughts?

    I am honestly not too familiar with him, but he appears to be pretty damn good. We need someone dependable with some speed that can keep a defense honest. Does he run good routes? We already have our big target/ red zone threat in DGB, so we need to lock up route running, deep threat, and possession.

    I like Boyd, probably more than Treadwell to be honest.

    Meh.

    Nothing to see here.

    Good route runner, but that's about it.

    5th round talent.

    Pitt mostly kept Boyd close to the LoS with slants, screens, and reverses, but he can beat guys deep when asked to..

    Thing is, do we want deep threats when we dont do deep well? Mariota is at his best when the ball comes out in 2-3 seconds, and as you know this line cant block long enough for guys to get deep...

    Other than this past year, he very rarely played RB and that's only because James Connor got hurt.

    Who is another player I'm high on.

    Most of his runs he would shift to the backfield, very rarely ran up the middle.

    Dude is not a RB. He does return punts and kicks tho which is what we need.


    Talking out your ass brave. You just looked at his stats and labeled him a WR/RB?? Lmao how much Pitt football did you watch??
