Uscg-green Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 I love the speed we are getting on the outside but can we please get someone that doesn't drop the ball? 1 2

Why do the Eagles not agree with that? Why is a guy with poor ball skills worthy of being on the team at all? f'in Howie drives me nuts. 1

DeathByEagle Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 PS He is a big project. He cant break off press, not good at tracking, poor route running and avg hands. Yes hes a 5th rounder but you have to look at more then just speed at this point. Hes honestly going only after speed.

I know why.... the guys that can really catch and are super athletic tend to be top picks We're in the 5th round. I like that he's finally going for athleticism in this draft. Total change of approach it seems. 3
T-1000 Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 This is a steal late in round 5. Some people had him as a late 3rd rounder. Probably their best value pick.
jsdarkstar Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 https://www.nfl.com/prospects/john-hightower?id=32194849-4777-2208-dbaa-36c5bd7d164f 6'1 - 189 lbs. 4.43 40. Player Bio Hightower's speed is his calling card. In fact, he went to Hinds Community College in Mississippi to run track after high school, but ended up excelling in football (31 catches for 509 yards, seven TDs over two years) as well as on the track (finished fourth at the national JUCO meet in the 400-meter hurdles). He made an instant impact after transferring in 2018, starting four of 10 contests for the Broncos and posting 31 receptions for 504 yards (16.3 per) and six touchdowns. Hightower was a second-team All-Mountain West pick in 2019, leading his squad in receiving yards (51-953-18.5, eight TDs in 14 games, 13 starts) while also contributing to the run game on sweeps (16-154-9.6) and as the primary kick returner (26-639-24.6, one TD).

He's also not here because of it, and they just added a clone to replace him. It's really stupid. I hope this kid figures it out and become all that Agholor wasn't. I want him to succeed wildly but I don't expect it. Time will tell.

Jenkins27 Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Wanted KJ Hill or Isaiah Hodgins. Oh well, we got Raegor and Goodwin. WR looks much better than last year. 1

I agree, and the correct answer is: You get one or two in the early rounds and not wait until the 5th for skill position players. I know..sounds crazy right?

I want him to succeed wildly but I don't expect it. Time will tell. He's a special teamer development project. What's not to like? Agholor turned out to be a head case and didn't develop as we liked. Maybe this guy takes to some coaching and improves.

Abracadabra Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 This guy will get abused by NFL DBs. But he can return punts so he's a Howie guy.

jsdarkstar Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Speed is all that matters. Production has been flushed down the toilet. 2
