Dorial Green-Beckham To Enter Draft

[Athos]

Bob Stoops, in his press conference, says Dorial Green-Beckham has told him he's entering the NFL Draft.

Draft him in the 2nd, 3rd certainly if he drops that far, and assign Britt and Quick as his butt buddies.

Make it impossible for him to take a shit without holding their hands.

Then make him hang out with Bradford, and Bradford alone, for the entire offseason. He can be his long toss ball boy and ping-pong opponent.

That'll learn him.

Then we'll have Megatron-lite.

I guess it depends on interviews - but I don't see how he possibly makes it to the 10th pick in the second round. I think he goes in the first.

Another deep WR class is why.

Cooper/White/Parker will most assuredly go before him. Not sure what team would want to take a risk on him in the 1st unless that team has multiple picks or trades down into the late 1st.

And there's his limited body of work as well. I'd be willing to trade down with our 1st and snag him in the 2nd though depending on interviews and who falls to us at 10.

Dude reminds me of the Dez Bryant situation a few years back....looks like that has worked out pretty well.

I'd love to take DGB given it's not a first round pick. 2nd or later? Absolutely, so much potential. He can be an elite WR no problem.

 

[tahoe]

I would be perfectly fine with drafting dgb

 

[rhinobean]

Not in favor of a wideout in first 3 rounds unless we get an extra pick in those rounds!

Not in favor of Wr at all unless Britt leaves

Unless Mariota or Winston fall to #10 (Which, I don't see happening) I wouldn't mind seeing the Rams take a gamble (A huge gamble) on DGB! IF, DGB gets his act together he should be a a real weapon in the NFL!

No reason to take him in the 1st, at 10 overall.

White and Parker will still be there and both come without any headaches. And are VERY good talents.

Jalen Strong too.

DGB is a 2nd round guy.

Jaelen Strong has no business going in the first round.

Not a fan I take it?

I thought we were all okay with our receiver core? Bringing in another receiver pushes kenny Britt out of the starting lineup after leading the team in receptions and yards, and pushed bailey and Austin out of minutes. I won't be mad if we get an elite receiver but isn't quick Brit stedman and Austin deep enough? Especially considering our holes at center guard and maybe tackle. We could use a linebacker too. Maybe a safety. Lawd, so many holes, Jesus!

Guess I am just getting greedy! I can't imagine too many defenses that would be able to stop the size & speed of Britt, Quick & DGB! Of course, I guess you do need someone to throw the ball to them and someone to block for the QB!

Right there with you man. I'm a big time Amari cooper fan. I'm more comfortable with our receivers though.

Nope. Not even remotely. He's a linear athlete. He's not going to be able to separate in the NFL against man coverage on routes with hard breaks. He's fast for his size in a straight-line and attacks the ball well in the air...but he's stiff, overly upright, and lacks any sort of explosion out of his breaks. And to top it off, he doesn't use his size and physicality to create separation. He also isn't much of a YAC threat aside from his straight-line speed.

If you get him matched up 1 on 1 and send him deep, he can be effective enough. But anything else in the NFL is going to be an issue for him if he's seeing man to man. College CBs stick to him like velcro. He isn't flexible...very tight hips. Which makes him an atrocious route runner. His breaks aren't crisp and he's very sluggish out of them(looks clunky).

If he were physical and aggressive, I could deal with his stiffness and poor route running. But he's not. Gotta create separation with something. And he's not a dominant enough jump ball WR for me to overlook those issues.

Reminds me of Jonathan Baldwin.

Hah. That was my argument against Evans coming out. Linear athlete who couldn't run hard routes with quick breaks. Though Evans did use size for separation.

Point taken though. Still, some team will bite on him in the 2nd, if not 1st. It's the way it goes with WRs.

No way in hell I thought that Whiners (former) 1st round WR was anywhere near being worthy of a 1st round selection and he wound up going in the 1st.

He may get taken in the first, I'm just saying that I think it would be a mistake.

I can understand that outlook on Evans. The differences between the two are that Evans was actually dominant enough of a jump ball guy and such a bully that you could overlook how stiff he was. Plus, Evans showed more ability in terms of YAC and was more explosive in terms of changing directions.

But another big thing is that Evans was a legitimate 6'5" 230...Strong is expected to come in around 6'3" 215. That added size means a lot for guys who aren't special at separating.

The thing is that I was gung ho for the guys that some people have compared Strong to...Evans and Alshon Jeffery. So this is the type of WR that I really tend to like...but I'm strongly opposed to Strong. With those type of guys, I have to see physicality and dominance when the ball is in the air. I don't see it with Strong. JMO.

Oh, of the big WRs, I don't really want Strong. Parker knows how to use his size. White is fantastic at using his size. Rams have options if they want a WR in the 1st outside of Cooper.

DGB, imo, is the most physically talented WR in this draft no question. Would have been last year too. And the year before that. And would have stacked up with Green, maybe better had DGB not been a dumbass and played 3 full years.

Parker is more of a finesse guy but it works for him because he's so athletically gifted. His quick feet and agility at his size are unbelievable. If I were comparing him, I'd say he plays a lot like A.J. Green or Chad Johnson.

You're 100% right about White. Very strong player and uses his size well. Not as quick or light on his feet as Parker but he's a lot stronger and more physical. I'd love to see him get with a guy like Britt or Dez who can teach him how to use his strength to create separation while the ball is in the air.

Cooper is just straight up incredible.

DGB is unrivaled in terms of athleticism and potential. When he put it all together in 2013, he was uncoverable...he just wasn't consistent in that. But he was a true sophomore so that's understandable.
