Rashod Bateman:
6'2"
210lbs
17.9 BOA.
40: TBD (4.5 ish?)

Games watched - 19: Auburn, Penn St, Northwestern; 20: Purdue

Player Comp:

Combination of
Michael Crabtree/Allen Robinson

ARob - 6'2". 220lbs. 19.0 BOA. 40: 4.56

Strengths:

Nice release off the line of scrimmage

Great spatial awareness

Route running is good esp creating space on comebacks & outs

Decent blocking frame; could improve on actual blocking

Runs through his routes on run plays

Really good hands

Weakness:

No real blazing speed

Big size but doesnt win a lot of contested catches

Doesn't make the first defender miss

Can be schemed out

Imo he'll need an alpha on the team to see early success but as he grows in the lg has potential to be an alpha

Rondale Moore:
5'9"
180 lbs
18.35 BOA
40: 4.33

Games watched - 18: Ohio State 19: Vanderbilt, Nevada; 20: MN

Player Comp:

Brandin Cooks - 5'10". 189lbs. 18.9 BOA 40: 4.33.

Both had majority of work come from slot in college & explosive

Strengths:

Very explosive

Versatility

Shifty w/great quick twitch adjustments

Great at finding space against zone esp w/seam route

RAC is amazing

Runs great routes across the middle (Mostly drag & inside seam)

Weakness:

Route running lackadaisical (rounds a lot of his routes)

Decision-making on return game seems questionable

Struggles with the physicality of man def if he cant win w/ speed

Less effort on plays he isnt involved in, esp blocking

Amon-ra St. Brown:
6'1"
195lbs
18.8 BOA
40: TBD 4.56 ish?

Games Watched - 19: Colorado, Notre D; 20: Washington St

Player Comp:

Tyler Boyd - 6'1". 197lbs. 18.8 BOA. 40: 4.58

(Parts of his game remind me of Greg Jennings)

Strengths:

Quick feet at the LOS

Solid separation & release

Great in the open field; makes defenders miss

Good run blocker

Route saavy; possibly best of class

Can play outside or inside

Versatile (has played some snaps at RB)

Weakness:

Hands could be improved upon

Sometimes turns w/o securing the catch first

Speed doesnt blow you away

Can he be the #1 on an NFL team?

Chris Olave:

Good at finding holes in zone

Quick off the LOS

Good acceleration, esp mid route (see clip above)

Decent run blocker

Good understanding of staying in the QBs line of sight

Weakness:

Unsure about his top speed

Route running is fine but doesnt not stand out

Waits for the ball to come to him often rather then going through the ball

Catches with his body too much imo
