Cowboys Targeting WRs

[CalPolyTechnique]

Ross III follows up his great broad jump with a 37" vertical.

Man Zay Jones looks really good, his numbers are good from college , he showed up in the senior bowl, great 40, could he go in the first??

Could go late 1st round - early 2nd.

Every year, prospects build buzz with their performances at the Scouting Combine. Whether that translates to great NFL performance is a different issue for a different day; for now, with the various events of the Underwear Olympics front and center, the things guys do in Indy stand out.

Penn State receiver Chris Godwin has been standing out at this year’s Combine. He has generated the fastest time for a receiver thus far, cranking out a still-unofficial 4.42-second 40-yard dash. He also pumped out 19 reps in the 225-pound bench press.

Kim Jones of NFL Network explained on the air that one G.M. was “shocked” by Godwin’s time in the 40, and that a receivers coach said Godwin helped himself.

He also helped himself with nine catches for 187 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Rose Bowl. Looking through his performances at Penn State, however, there are plenty of so-so days that would need to be fully understood before concluding with confidence that he will be able to get open against NFL defensive backs.

With so many good receivers in this draft there is a very real possibility that a total stud can fall to us in rounds 2 through 4.

His body control is outstanding too

Yeah, that's sort of my takeaway too, though I think they're look for more of a #2 to pair with Dez. If you look at the WR names they have looked at thus far, it's a wide spectrum of guys that will go in different rounds.

Depends on how far in the future you want to look. It is 3 years from now. A 31 year old Dez should still be effective and worth retaining. However at that point you may want him more as a 1A or 1B then a bell cow #1. If you want a guy you want to think about adding a guy that could possible be a 70-90 catch guy at that point, now is a good time to start looking.

John Ross III had an 11'-1" broad jump....explosive.

To put that in perspective, that's the same distance Dez jumped at 6'-2" which is stellar even for his size. Ross is 5'-10.5".

I expect him to be very high in our board. Explosive athlete that fits well in our offense

I'm hoping teams think the same and let Ross fall in round 1.

john ross - 4.22 - WOW

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Any questions about Ross III?

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Curtis Samuel clocks an unofficial 4.31.

I've been saying he could be a much better version of Lance Dunbar, serving as a WR/RB threat, but we've got more pressing needs.

 

[Kolemmitt]

Any questions about Ross III?

Could Ross jump up and push Corey Davis down, maybe the end of round 1?

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Ju Ju Schuster-Smith with a 4.54 and 4.57. Decent times that didn't help or hurt him; right about where most people had him.

Just over 6'1" and 215 with huge mits (10.5").

Interested in seeing how he measures in the explosive drills.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

His body control is outstanding too

Absolutely. I'd say that's his dominant trait.

 

[Daillest88]

Absolutely. I'd say that's his dominant trait.

More I think about it. He's actually a complete reciever. He's going in the late 1st

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Zay Jones just dispelled any notion that he was a mediocre athlete. Followed up good forty times with an 11'-1" broad jump.

If we took him at 28 I wouldn't be mad. He's a huge upgrade over Terrance Williams

 

[rambo2]

Kupp will be a bigtime player.

I think it'll be interesting to see the 3rd receiver after Williams/Davis.

Zay Jones or Ross.

Why in the world would Ross fall?
