If all he can be is a decoy, which is great and all, it's a totally wasted pick just like I feared. I hated the pick, but I decided to be open and accept him. He became a Ram and I wanted him to light it up and make me puke up a heaping helping of crow. Wanted him to flash all those skills....#8 overall WRs shouldn't be developmental reaches. He has to be very good at route running and catching to make up for his diminutive size. Quick can overcome a lot because of his sheer size. Tavon? Well.
Haven't seen that. At all. They can't even seem to send him on a simple go-route it appears. His punt skills have been non-existent this year. All we've done is run him up the middle. That's been the extent of his success. Certainly not what you want out of the #8 overall in a trade up.
I wanted Nuke Hopkins bad. Catches near 70% of his targets. Stretches the field. And all while suck with a QB that isn't exactly great.
Really, what purpose does he have at this point beyond being a decoy?
