Carlos Henderson WR- LA Tech

[reddyuta]

this guy may be 3rd Rd pick but he reminds me so much of Odell Beckham,he has the similar incredible start stop quickness and catching ability.We really need a guy like him on our roster.dude just had a monster bowl game too.

or a slot guy like Trent Taylor would be good

Poor mans Beckham. I wasn't overly impressed but who knows.

This guy runs 4.52 vs Beckham's 4.35.

Interesting player.

College WR highlights can be deceiving.
Cordarelle Patterson had amazing highlights but has dissappointed in the NFL.

Even Cowboys own Vince Mayle had great highlights.

That number is a guess. NFLDS and other put in a guess but the official time won't be known until Feb/March.

I haven't seen him besides that clip. Does he play 4.4 or better?

 

[reddyuta]

I am not sure he can run in the 4.4s and that's the reason he is rated as a 3rd rd guy but he gets open easily because of his quickness and can catch everything.

I like him in the later rounds as a lucky upgrade

he has 2000 total yards and 20 tds,not sure he will last that long.my hope for the draft is a guy who can get open like beckham and beasley with their route running and quickness but also has a top end gear,it will make life so much easier for Dak.

The best thing for Dak is a tight end that can split out wide and beat safeties and linebackers. We don't have that right now. Since Howardcan also block I'd def be open to drafting him if he's there

I can't tell 4.4 from 4.5 by watching college highlights. If there were some full games of him playing against specific CBs it would be easier to see how he compared to them but even then we don't really know their speed.

He does display excelling lateral and stop-start agility for a WR with decent size and his hands looks really good.

If he runs a sub 4.5 he could be a 2nd round pick. My initial thought is that I would be OK with this type of player as the Cowboys 2nd round pick; although, I would like to find some full games for review.

Quickness, route running and catch radius are FAR more important than speed

Thanks for posting the video.

I watched a few minutes of it. He looked both great and bad on returns (80+ return but near turnover on a botched catch). That QB loves to throw to #5. I do like that Henderson gives very good effort as a blocker. I'll watch the rest later.

I'm all on board with getting a dynamic burner in this draft and I like Henderson, but there are a ton of really good WRs this draft, a literal ton. There are multiple burners too, Boss Ross, Hendo, Curtis Samuel, James Washington... all burners. There are at least 12 more really good WRs that will push a lot of guys into the mid and late rounds. I'm with you though on the strategy.
