happy because i think he is an elite wr prospect and would probly be the best player available.
like mccarthy said...draft football players and let the coachs figure out how to use them. drafting need over bpa is almost always wrong and dumb.
Randle Cobb played 720 snaps last year. 65%nothing against Ruggs but he wont be much use for us this season at all,we need our 1st and 2nd RD picks to be starters,cant have them warming the bench.

Ruggs will likely play more snaps than a CB we draft. And unless Okudah drops, he'll be higher rated. After Cooper and Gallup, we are incredibly thin at WR.i get it,this draft is rich in WR talent .we need starters in the defense,i am confident we can find a 3rd Wr in later WRs(Gallop was a 3rd RD pick).

It seems the consensus of his scouting reports is he struggles and cannot beat press coverage. No question in the open field this guy will run away from defenders. But this is the big leagues and teams will press him. However, can he play the slot and beat the coverage on the first step?
There are some really great assessments about when he gets past the line and catches the ball. He will scare the Hell out defenders and force teams to use a CB on him if he is in the slot.
I am indifferent. I can see this guy being the Dallas equivalent of DeSean Jackson. Or being another whiff at a speedster that does not translate to the NFL because of strength and get open ability at the line.
There might be a stat out there, but I wouldn't even know where to look but I am curious on how the YPC, YAC, and yards per carry change when guys like Hill, D-Jax, John Ross, and some of these elite speed guys are in the game vs when they aren't. I would have to imagine teams not being able to stack the box, roll safeties over to backup the CB's have to increase all those different aspects of the game. The question is whether or not it's significant enough to draft someone like Ruggs over someone like Chaisson who has a ton of upside at more of a position of need but has a lower floor.
That would be an interesting stat if anyone has them.
Better not go wr in the 1st 3 rounds lol
Why?
