Video: Ceedee Lamb route running breakdown better than Jerry Jeudy?

[TwoDeep3]

Found this. Really interesting breakdown of Lamb's abilities as a route runner.

Enjoy.

 

[Clove]

Thanks for this.

I'll start off by saying I know absolutely nothing about these college kids that got drafted but if CeeDee Lamb is supposed to be the end-all, be all of this WR class and a can't miss prospect, then why was he only the 3rd receiver taken in the first round? I've seen others ask this but not seen any real explanation. Why did Ruggs and Jeudy go before him?

Ruggs is faster and that seems to be all the Raiders care about. Jeudy and CeeDee were 1-2 best WRs, so depended on which team liked who.

Shh, don’t ruin everything. Even though we haven’t been to even a championship game in 25 years, we’re the smartest guys in the room. Our board is the one true board and we’re the only team capable of drafting “BPA”. Our draft had so much “value”, that all of our picks from round one through five were reportedly in a six way deadlock with Joe Burrow to be the #1 pick on Cincy’s board.

People like to get cute, ask Jerry about that in previous years.

You’ve been listening to too much Spagnola.

It's not just Cowboys fans. The majority of draft experts and scouts considered Lamb the best WR in the draft. It was close between him and Jeudy, but more considered Lamb the guy. The Raiders are gonna Raiders and just wanted speed with Ruggs.

It's an all time deep WR class. And Lamb is considered the best of the bunch by the majority of people who do this for a living. Ruggs going first was silly. Jeudy, you can make an argument for, and thankfully the Broncos liked him more.

Ruggs-fastest receiver
Jeudy-best route runner(primarily a slot receiver)
Lamb-most all-around talented

Pick your preference

We got an absolute beast, even more so than Dez when he came up. I wanted defense too in the 1st but in no way can you pass on this guy. We all pined for a YAC WR.....we got one

Yes sir now we got one! I don't care 2 cents why Jeudy and Ruggs were picked 1st and 2nd, we got a terrific talent in Lamb and I wouldn't trade him for either of those other two.

And yet Lamb was not considered the best of the bunch by the people having to hand out guaranteed four year contracts. And by “draft experts” you mean Bleacher Report nobodies.

Why are you having difficulty with the concept? If you’ve followed the draft you’ve seen this play out dozens of times.

How many times have we’ve seen multiple QBs taken in the 1st round and the second or third QB taken in that round become the best of that group. Same with OTs or wide receivers. Teams like different players for different reasons be it scheme fit, personality, et cetera.

Mike Nolan when he was the coach of the 49ers infamously chose Alex Smith over Aaron Rogers because Smith was seen as the more coachable guy based on him putting the football between his legs (like a basketball player) when asked while Rogers wouldn’t.

You seem to be having a hard time with the concept that you have no idea why anybody did what. Occam’s Razor would seem to suggest that the two teams who drafted for WR thought that they, in fact, did draft the best WR in the draft.
Whoever becomes the best WR will be determined on the field, not by beer gut Bleacher Report losers.

CBS Sports, Daniel Jeremiah, Charles Davis..just to name a few.

They're not a bunch of nobodies either, fwiw.

Combine testing. Lamb is a very very good athlete for a receiver. But Jeudy and Ruggs had the more eye popping combine numbers. We have all see how that affects draft position.

A ton of it had to do with teams not being able to bring players in for private workouts. Not only that but raiders drafted Ruggs because of speed. Denver drafted Juedy because they wanted a compliment for Sutton since he is their number 1 receiver.

You seem to think the front office, scouts, and evaluators from each of the 32 teams are obligated to feel the very same way about any one particular player.

Feel free to explain how you know that.

BTW, you haven’t exhausted the list of realistic and plausible reasons why Lamb went after Ruggs and Jeudy. The reasons provided aren’t elaborate or wish casting, so Occam’s Razor doesn’t apply here; you’re simply drawing a simple unsubstantiated conclusion that flies in the face of draft history and demonstrated outcomes.

If you agree with the basic premise that not every team will feel the same about any one player (for a litany of different reasons) then you’ve undermined your point, so it will be interesting if you’ll go down with that ship.

There was no consensus #1 WR leading up to the draft. It was generally considered Lamb and Juedy were neck and neck, with Ruggs 3rd. There were rumors that Ruggs might be first off the board which proved true

So there were 3 1st tier receivers. Ruggs, Jeudy and Lamb.

The consensus was Ruggs was the worst of the 3.

Raiders picked Ruggs first. Screwed with a lot of boards. Raiders seem to be doing their own thing in the draft these past 2 years. Either they are clueless or they are the smartest people in the building.

Jeudy and Lamb are a toss up. Jeudy was considered the best route runner in the draft. They have Courtland Sutton so they decided Jeudy was the better fit.

Lamb dropping isn't a reflection on his talent its a reflection on the people who were drafting. Jets and 49ers should've taken wide receivers. When they didn't that screwed up everything and that was THE ONLY way they would've fell to the Cowboys.
