sackofnuts1 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 We are stuck with a slow possession receiver who can’t separate. We passed on Garrett Wilson and Olave who will be pro bowlers. Now we have to blow another high pick to find a #1 receiver. ShoNuff, Aluminafalcon, Freddies 3rd Cuz and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampyMux12 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Drake London is Mike Evans with good QB play, he'll be fine once we're settled there. Also, NFL DCs know how to take WRs away when they are the only weapon. That's why good passing teams have a lot of weapons. Better QB play, Pitts coming back, and adding a decent WR2 and he'll actually get some advantageous coverage. autigerfan, Lionzblade, TheRisen999 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killing Floor Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Couple things. Somewhat related. Wideouts can’t throw to themselves. Well, they can but it’s weird. Probably not legal. I hear you, but 60-40. Drake is a good receiver on a team with a lot of holes and he will be much better as the team improves. So give the rookie a chance. Any player on this team sometimes looks bad out of context. He’s had some good games. He’ll be fine I think Smith is beginning to recognize that London’s (and Pitts) abilities are better than Byrd or even OZ but he couldn’t risk telling his quarterback to look for better options. And Garret Wilson is a superstar. But let’s be fair, his situation is much different. The Jets are in a gut rebuild with a string of quarterback struggles. It’s been a long time since they’ve sniffed playoffs so Saleh has to make sure his stars are in the game. Because he knows it’s now or never, make postseason or get canned. Smith still has probably 2 more years so expect 1,200 yard seasons from Wilson this year and expect the same from Pitts and London in 2024. No matter who the quarterback is.

isproab Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I was 100% not on board with Drake when we drafted him. I had not seen him run against the clock. Falcons worked him out, I think they were comfortable. I didn't see him play much live at USC. That being said, I have seen him make catches and run effectively. He looks like a good, dependable, big target WR that can keep the chains moving. He isn't overly dynamic, but I don't think he has to be. He just needs to get a little stronger/aware and hold onto the ball. Pitts is the weapon at TE. We are missing a number #2 WR. Hopefully one eventually like a Zay Flowers whom can get downfield or an all around big guys with speed like Quentin Johnston will be added. I don't mean either of these two guys particularly, but a guy with similar game. Of course, after we address defense and find our QB. 3 guys like that going out into the pattern will be just fine. Drake in my book is much better than Sanu. Nobody likely will be a Julio in his prime, but I'm ok with not being as heavy on offensive talent to build a more balanced team.

I am with you as well, while I was also 100% not on board in drafting London, I am ok with the pick. I also understand why his progression is where it is right now and is (currently) ok with it. isproab 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snafu Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I wasnt a fan of drafting Drake either at the time as I really wanted Jordan Davis, but he definitely is not a whiff. If we take Drakes 4 game sample w/ Ridder and stretch it over a full season it equates to about 107 catches and 1400 yards.

Me being happy with the pick was dependent on Ridder’s development; I am HIGH on dat Ridder pack now. So Drake should turn out to be good investment now.

Summerhill Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The good news is London is at least pretty darned good. But much like with Kyle Pitts, we don't know if he was definitely the best possible pick. The NFL is really hard. To win a lot, you need a couple best possible picks. If you only have a couple pretty darned good picks, you're a .500 team.
