and I thought it was just me being stupid this entire time looking for the search feature to reference old posts and not succeeding.

WR Simi Fehoko, Stanford;
Drafted 5th Round
– 6-4, 230 and runs a 4.37

Some comments From Ourlads Draft:

-Used in a various ways, outside WR, deep go routes, slot WR, goal line jump balls, used as a Noah Brown type role at times, digging out blocks vs LBs as a motion HB.

- Only started one year, and displayed invaluable ability on special teams.

- Most big plays came from slot spot. Matchup nightmare in slot or bunched formation

- Described a long strider that eats up a lot of cushion in a hurry.
- Smooth, intelligent, deceptively athletic.
- Extremely violent hands at the top of his routes.

- Will need to work on neck-shoulder dexterity (dipping and swiveling hips and shoulders
to “ sell” his routes)
- Struggles with the more elite CBs at the top of his routes,
- Third/Fourth Round.
CreaMe:
- I heard a You Tube Podcaster called Simi a “ bigger Cole Beasley “ but he doesn’t look near that fluid, smooth or change of direction foot quick.as Beasley.
- Ironically I heard Isiah Stanback on a Cowboys podcast say per OTA observations that Simi
doesn’t look “ fluid”...

From just his “ highlights” I can see Simi use his big body and arm stretch to snare contested
passes away from coverage guys, and he gain a few inches from some in the vertical game.

Love a blocker who's a deep threat too. Personnel problem for the defense. He's gonna win blocking DBs or running by LBs.

"Long Strider" has me thinking he won't give much beyond a deep threat as a WR, but that's fine. Sounds like a gunner.

I’ll admit I was only watching his highlight reel which is a bit shortened due to the shortened season and whatnot but honestly it looked to me like when going against man coverage, he got zero separation. He made some great plays on the ball anyway but NFL DBs won’t be as unaware of the ball. Happy for someone who watched a lot more of him tell me I’m wrong.
Anyway, we have a huge pile of WRs from this years draft and UDFA...to fight for 1-2 roster spots and 1-2 PS spots.

The media hyped this guy. He could mature and be something, but fans should not be surprised if he doesn’t make the team. He’s going to be a 24 year old, raw rookie, and he wasn’t the best receiver at Stanford.

He may be, but how is he gonna get on the field? You think Gallup, Lamb or Cooper are giving him reps during game time? Ill get excited about him when I see him looking like Jerry Rice or Randy Moss in an actual game.

I just finished up my Dynasty League Rookie Draft. Nothing of much value left in the 5th & Final Round, so I said screw it, made the homer pick and drafted Fehoko.

Certainly don't think Simi is a guaranteed contributor, but for some reason I'm very intrigued by him. More than I ever was with Wilson or Brown.
