Iggles_Phan 47,650 Posted January 28 14 minutes ago, HazletonEagle said: I watched a PFF podcast with a mock draft a few days ago. One of those PFF guys is crazy about London and has him as WR1 in the draft, and iirc he said that was the case even before Jameson Williams tore his ACL. Since then, I have noticed a few other mocks with London as the first WR off the board. I think there was even one with us taking him and calling him the WR1 of the draft. I love his RAC. He is so big, and runs determined to break away. Even after a contested catch with a DB right on him he has the strength to get away and start picking up extra yards. But.... there are entire highlight videos of him never being open even once. Honestly, I never even watched any more because I figured if hes not even open in his highlights, there cant be much more to see in non-highlights. From what you say, maybe I need to look more. Oh... I hope not. That's a Matt Millen level move - 3 straight years with a WR in the first round. Please no. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For a guy who is 6-5, 210 pounds he’s surprisingly nimble. He has good feet as evidenced by his RAC ability. Obviously he’s dynamic at the catch point, but he did show the ability to separate on out-breaking routes and double moves. I bet Sirianni will love him. As long as he has an ok combine (which he will if he's healthy), he'll go top 15. Too many outside zone teams in the top 15 that care about YAC and run blocking (Jets, Falcons, Vikings, Broncos, Browns). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D-Shiznit 12,751 Posted January 28 As long as he runs a sub 4.5 40 yard dash, London will go top 10 easy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still feel that Jalen Hurts would never throw to him because he wont be open enough. Hurts doesnt anticipate. And he doesnt throw guys open. He needs to see them open before he lets it go. He will pretty much never see London open. Im not saying London cant have success. But Im pretty sure he wont have success in Philly with Hurts at QB. I think he will need the right QB who makes those throws. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

austinfan 1,920 Posted January 28 Are we getting the speed/size fetish again. There was only one Randy Moss, one Calvin Johnson. Being tall, being fast or even both doesn't make you a good WR. How about some detail on routes, hands, high pointing, body control, run blocking, YAC, football IQ. You know, the package of skills you need to be a good NFL receiver. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greendestiny27 2,082 Posted January 28 I like some of London's skill set, but he's almost too tall. I think he's going to be injury prone in the pro's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will make for a fun combine, lots of WR and DBs, too bad Jameson and Metchie got injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High 4.5s at best I want Williams or Burks, a great yac player is a perfect compliment to what we have right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
