I am thinking it is doubtful TWill gets a second contract. Also seems the Cowboys and Pats are looking at a lot of the same players.

2nd round target? A lot of talent, but man that kid is skinny for the NFL.

 

[RS12]

He doesnt seem to lack for confidence.

He doesnt seem to lack for confidence.

Wouldn't expect anything less from the biggest prima dona position in football. He seems to be climbing up the draft boards. Pat Kirwan said he would not be surprised if he went 1st round.

I wouldnt have thought he was their prototype.they usually look for 6-2 and over WRs.I like Boyd,he is a plug and play guy and wont have problems running routes or catching the ball but i would go with other WRs at 34.

Boyd is a phenomenal WR and route runner. But we have a slot guy

Pretty much what I was thinking. I don't think he represents enough of an upgrade at that spot to spend a second rounder on.

They usually do. There tends to be a lot of bleed-over in interest. Same for the Eagles.

 

[Gaede]

Love this player. Not sure how he fits. But I think he'll be really good

 

[kazzd58]

I was reading before the season started he was consider top2-3 wr in college based on articles I read so hey

 

[stilltheguru88]

Good number2 option. Id rather not though at 34

 

[bodi]

to many other guys to be had in the later rounds

that can challenge T WILL

 

[StarBoyz83]

Doubt any wr they draft would play this season.

Regarded as one of the top WR’s in this year’s draft, Boyd’s career at Pitt saw him post 254 receptions for 3,361 yards and 21 TDs. He will count as one of Dallas’ 30 official national visits.

Boyd’s ability to run routes effectively are what allows him to create separation. He’s also been able to maintain his level of play despite having three different quarterbacks throwing to him in three years.

Drew Boylhart (The Huddle Report) PARAPHRASED...


Tyler Boyd WR Pittsburgh

STRENGTHS
Tyler has Larry Fitzgerald-type hands. Smooth, smart, receiver. He has the ability to adjust to the ball in the air. Team's main weapon, and can play any WR position. Gives good effort blocking opposing DBs. Dependable WR that can make the catch even when he's covered. Large catch radius with big soft hands. He could become a core receiver for the team that selects him.

CONCERNS
Slow off the snap. Runs poor routes. He needs to learn to get separation from DBs, or he's going to have to become a possession WR. If so, he'll need to bulk up to take the pounding that a possession WR takes.

TALENT BOARD ROUND: 4
Tyler has potential because of his ability to catch the ball with strong hands, but he has to run better routes. He needs to learn to change speeds to set up DBs. He runs all his routes at the same speed... SLOW. In the NFL, he doesn't have the speed, agility, or size to play the way he plays at the college level. He's going to need to add bulk to adjust to the NFL or he's going to struggle. Even so, he doesn't have the speed or lateral agility to impact a team at the NFL level. But, he does have great hands. So, if he has a strong work ethic, he could become a productive player. I really like this kid’s ability to catch the ball in any situation. Whether he's covered, or not, he'll come down with the ball. Tyler has more negatives than positives to overcome, but there is no reason why he can’t overcome those negatives given the time.
