If we drafted him in round two, my guess the offense would look just like it did before drafting him. With him well behind T Will on the outside wr depth chart. I would expect Fuller to play more in year two. I would not draft a WR with poor hands in the draft regardless of his speed.

What is the saying; If the ball was a spear, he would be dead?
j/k
He's not nearly as bad a hands catcher as someone else on the Cowboys' roster.

I would rather get Listenbee later. Same speed. Seems more reliable.

He's better than Listenbee.

But I wouldn't take him at 34. Definitely round 3. Or maybe if we traded with Tenn and ended up with two more 2nds I'd use a later 2nd rounder on him.

I like him a lot but he would be wasted on this offense,

Aren't we sick and tired of our current body catching #2 WR? Why are we going to replace him with another?

He's better than Williams. His hands aren't great but I think people are overestimating how bad they are.

He has tiny hands and had over 20 drops in his last 2 seasons. Not to mention a lot of double catches and body catches. He's also small and easily jammed at the line. He's not even a great route runner being most effective on 9 routes with over 700 of his 1200 yards coming from deep passes. The only thing he does better than Williams is run fast. If he ran a 4.5 he's probably a day 3 pick.

If, he gets in the right system with the right QB maybe he is Mike Wallace from Pitt. If he doesn't get those things, he is Mike Wallace from everywhere else. I'll pass.

Honestly, I'm not crazy about Fuller. Maybe I'm wrong but I wan't WR's that are natural hands catchers, like Treadwell for instance.

I've seen Fuller spectacularly high point balls. His problem seems to be more about consistency. Natural often times comes through repetition.

He reminds me of Terry Glenn.

I wouldn't take him at 34. That would be a total reach.

But if he were sitting there at 67, absolutely. Putting him opposite Dez would be a killer in this offense.

I think this is where we need to change our thinking. Instead of the big, tall athletic receiver, if we can get a true speedster that is good at the long ball. This helps open up the running game and forces the defense's hand if they want to double Dez.

Coleman is an interesting candidate in comparison to Fuller. Fuller gets knocked for his drops (PFF had him at 19 drops the last two years) but Coleman had 17 drops over the same period. Fuller gets knocked for apparent raw route running but Coleman ran mostly hitches and stop and go routes at Baylor in that offense and also needs polish in that area.

Coleman is an excellent WR prospect. But I wouldn't take either Coleman or Fuller at 34.

The guy I REALLY want is Josh Doctson. But he'll be gone by Round 2.

He certainly scored a lot of TD's in that video. Who is that QB?
