Daniel Jeremiah on Will Fuller....

[AsthmaField]

While I do like Treadwell, and love his competitiveness (he's a very good blocker, BTW), the Cowboys lack speed on the outside, and don't need to make it worse. Ideally, they need to add someone who can stretch the field a bit, and that's not Treadwell's game.

I understand. I agree that they could use a field stretcher if they did go WR. Treadwell is going to need to be double covered though, IMO, much like Dez. I firmly believe that defenses would have problems with Dez on one side and LaQuan on the other, than they would with a Dez/Fuller combo. Like Dez, if he's single covered... he's open.

Common sense tells me you're right though.

I like Doctson better.

I also like Doctson a lot. Still think I like Treadwell better but Doctson very well could end up the better pro.

Thanks for the response.

I like Treadwell but I don't want to get crazy and compare him to Alshon Jefferson.

The strength's that I have highlighted below will always make me want that WR to be a Cowboy. He is a natural born football player.

His makeup is exactly what you want.

______________________________________________

STRENGTHS: Well-built for the position with a muscular upper body and sleek definition. Long arms and large hands to create a very large catching radius. Natural plucker with vacuum hands away from his body, snatching anything in his general direction. Outstanding on 50/50 balls, showing above average body control and hand-eye coordination.


Lacks sprinter speed, but faster than expected due to strong, decisive strides, never playing hesitant. Shows the ability to push routes, sink and quickly locate the football. Plays with grown man strength to brush off tackle attempts and get every yard possible - rarely phased by initial tackler in college due to his balance and power.



Has run-after-catch ability with his strength and athleticism, stretching screens into big gains. Won't allow defenders to chase him out of bounds. Takes pride in his blocking, throwing his body and overwhelming defenders.

Very strong-minded competitor and doesn't shrink under bright lights. Innately motivated and wired right for professional football. Carries himself like a leader with a goal-oriented mind-set - genuinely enjoys the comradery with his teammates. Very grounded, mature personality for his age and handled adversity well after his 2014 season-ending injury.

I have heard him described as Dez with an "off" switch, lol.

Good. Push a quality receiver down further.

 

[stilltheguru88]

Sterling Shepard is in the Odell/Antonio Brown mold. We should tale him at 34 honestly.

 

[Sydla]

Shepard at 34?

Now there's a reach.

Frederick was a reach too i was told.

I agree with the need for speed. However, value wise be tempting. Having quality receivers sometimes harder than we think. Just think injured Dez....Treadwell fill in nicely.

 

[AzorAhai]

A body catching, small handed, one trick pony with problems catching the ball is going to be the 1st WR taken? I very much doubt this is actually going to happen.

I would just like for him to go before our 2nd pick seeing as he's on the visit list. Remove that temptation from the team all together. You would think one body catcher was enough to teach the team their lesson.

 

[reddyuta]

In our Offense we need a guy like Treadwell,I love Fuller and will be happy to draft him at 34 but Romo doesnt have the arm strength anymore to really use his talents.

 

[Leadbelly]

The poorness of Fuller's hands are pretty overstated. He's a quality route runner. Runs a full route tree. He doesn't shirk his blocking duties. He's not some non-contact dude who just runs go routes and WR screens like Ginn or Eddie Royal and he's not a prima donna like Desean Jackson.

Doesn't surprise me if he's being considered the best in this class but I'd still have Treadwell slightly ahead of him. Treadwell can be a primary target. Fuller and Coleman are more likely a second option just based on size.

 

[Gaede]

Yes but can you teach hands. I have heard that Fuller does not have great hands. I could be wrong though. I like Dotson but he won't make to our pick in the 2nd

I agree completely.

But NFL teams can get wrapped up in measurables and projections and nonsense.

Reminds of the Witten draft. A few TEs went before Witten because they were faster or more athletic. But Witten knew how to play the game and his speed didn't mean crap.

That's what I feel will happen with Treadwell

 

[Risen Star]

Do you like him enough for Dallas to draft him in the mid-first with a trade back? Just a hypothetical...

No. Not this year.

Exactly. Yes, his hands are fly paper where they catch everything and yes, he had a couple of really bad drops last year (see the BC game where he dropped an easy TD) but he's also made some tough catches and used his hands to make some pretty impressive catches.

That said, there's no chance I'd take Fuller over Treadwell if both were sitting there at 34. I'd probably take Doctson over him too. But he'd be 3rd on my list of WRs.

Alshon Jefferson!?!

That's George and Weezy Jefferson's boy.... I don't know if he can play... but he walks around like his daddy.

 

[RoboQB]

Frederick, taken 30th overall, would not have made it out of the 2nd round... in fact, he would've been gone in the next dozen picks.

No sense in taking Shepard at 34 when he'll be available in the top of the 4th... I do like the kid though... it would be a great story if he became a Dallas Cowboy.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Kind of like Jerruh?

 

[Oh_Canada]

My gosh I don't have Fuller in my top five wr's-barely top ten.
