    i like filani and williams better then any of our other draft picks, maybe with the exception of Henry, i can see those 2 guys being solid #2 recievers and maybe a #1 in the near future...:yes:

    Filani was my favorite WR we drafted. I loved the highlight reel until it showed his hair at the end.

    go ahead and find me a highlight reel of our #1 or #2 receiver last season that is close to as impressive as this guy.

    He looks like he could be really good.....hopefully def plays faster than his 4.71 forty would indicate.

    He has good measurables and seems like a smart young man so I look for him make the team and maybe some noise a year or 2 down the road.

    So what is the basis of your liking Filani and Williams better than any of our other draft picks? Did you attend their games scouting them, interviewing them and working them out? No, you watched their high-light reels didn't you.

    Although these film clips can look good for any player there are things that can stand out like proper technique catching the ball, power running after the catch, body control and so forth. Filani also looks like he has a little better playing speed than his timed speed and also seems to have very good balance which allows him to stay on his feet after making a move or getting hit. His power after the catch is darn good as well.

    The thing that stands out the most to me in that reel is it looks like Filani is a guy that can make the tough catch in tight spaces with a man hanging on him. There was a story from mini camp that Graves wanted to toughen up some of our WRs a bit, and Filani looks to bring what Graves is looking for. With the routes that he's going to get as a rookie, he'll need to be physical to create space and hang on to the ball... from the reel I see a player that can do that. It also looks like he has good instincts in protecting the ball - a couple of clips you see him getting both arms around and bringing it into his body before contact.

    I still think he may see some time this year on the practice squad simply because it's a crowded field and being the low man on the totem pole he won't get many opportunities to prove himself, but if he makes the cut for opening day you can be sure it's because he made the most out of his limited shots. I hope he does.
