Vince Mayle promoted from PS

[marchetta]

Physically, he reminds me of David Boston.

Good comparison.

Here's an analysis of Vince. Analyst considers him a 2nd Round Talent.

Vince Mayle WR Washington St
6-2, 224 Lbs, 4.6 (40 yds)

TALENT BOARD ROUND 2

STRENGTHS
Vince is one of the many receivers in this draft with the potential to be a starting #1 receiver for the team that drafts him. He reminds me a lot of Buccaneers receiver Vincent Jackson -- not as fast, but plays with the same ability to make tough contested catches over the middle and has enough speed and quickness get deep to make the big play. Tackling Vince is a task unto itself. He runs with passion and is not shy about taking a hit or giving it out. He’s got those long legs that most defensive backs hate to tackle and to bring him down usually takes more than one player in the open field. He runs strong routes and inside the red zone is a match-up nightmare because of his size and strength along with his ability to adjust to the ball in the air and catch it with his strong hands. Vince has those long strides that make it very hard to stay with him on deep routes even if the defense back is faster than he is. He also has long arms that give him a big catch radius and, unless he is up against a corner with longer arms than he has, Vince will catch just about everything thrown his way when running any kind of route. He still has a lot to learn, but make no mistake about it: Vince has the potential to be a #1 receiver for the team that selects him.

CONCERNS
Vince runs the short routes with authority and confidence, but when he runs his deep routes, he seems to lack that same authority and confidence as if he doesn’t believe that he can get deep or maybe he doesn’t have confidence his QB can throw it deep. Vince will also need to learn to run routes from all three receiver positions. Once Vince learns to run better deep routes and routes from the slot, he will become a force to reckon with all over the field.

BOTTOM LINE
It’s just a matter of time and repetitions and Vince will become the type of receiver you can build your passing game around. He has all the talent and size and has the strong hands to catch the ball when being contested. He has the big body to put a defensive back on his back and shield him as he catches passes in the end zone as well as the ability to adjust to the ball in the air and catch those fade passes everyone likes to throw for a touchdown. Vince also has the passion to gain yardage after the catch on those crossing routes in the middle of the field and the speed to line up in the slot and go up the hash marks to give the safeties and linebackers who think they can match up with him all sorts of problems. Vince has improved from one year to the next and he seems to have the passion and football intelligence to learn and become better. He is a sleeper receiver in this draft mostly because this is a draft full of excellent receivers and he seems to be hiding in plain sight for that reason. He might not have the pure speed that other receivers have in this draft, but he does have the overall talent to be one of the best in this deep draft class of receivers. Remember, speed does not make a great receiver -- it just makes teams draft them earlier than those receivers who are not as fast. Don’t be fooled by the round Vince will be selected in because he has the potential to become a #1 receiver. How do I know? It’s because I look at the film for every one of my profiles.

Is this a Drew Boylhart write up?

Whitehead has traits , but they'll take some time to develop . Street really has nothing he's slow , weak , about the only decent thing are his hands.

Agree on all points. Im not saying Lucky is the next Devin Hester or slot machine but atleast he has something. I would like to see him get a few of those Dunbar type passes and KR

 

[Bigdog]

He couldn't catch a cold?

In Cleveland?

Once whitehead gets his confidence up , I think he'll be our return guy / back up slot WR. We can have some specialty plays for him just like we did with Harris.

I think Street has the physical ability, he just plays soft and timid and seems to lack confidence. All horrible traits for this level of football.

I just haven't seen it. The game seems so fast for him . That sideline play last week was inexcusable on this level. You only get so many chances , when Butler is healthy I think he may be gone.

I think it's more nerves than a lack of confidence with Lucky. I think he'll be fine after he takes a few hits.

I agree, but the things you listed aren't physical traits, it's stuff btwn his ears.

Internet GMs...Internet GMs.....Internet GMs....
We would be in a constant state of 0-16 seasons with Internet GMs.....

Not understanding this board's undying love for Lucky Whitehead. He's not a player IMO. The coaching staff values Street more than Whitehead as well.

and that's telling folks all we need to know about Whitehead when the team values Street more smh

That could change this week .

 

[MonsterD]

Mayle was the Browns fourth rounder this year and released? Anyone know why? Seems odd especially knowing they need help at wide reciever with Josh Gordon being suspended for the year.

People meaning Browns fans and others who saw him in preseason, said he was utterly awful.

Didn't he have a broken thumb or something?

 

[Aven8]

This is the Mike Leach WR that can't catch.

He will fit right in with Street now!

Don't know that to be true at all
Street has more experience and that's the biggest part
Lucky is a rookie and when he's been around a couple years then you can judge the player

 

[slick325]

Dallas has a prototype for the WR's they like. Size seems more important than speed. Street and TWill are not much different than this player IMHO. Which means this board will be upset about lack of separation or speed. Good things is he may be able to win on contested balls.

Except Street and Terrance can't win on contested balls because they cannot catch and it looks like this guy can't either. Really this move doesn't make awhole lot of sense if he's just another Street. We need pass CATCHERS.
