Dude i was right there with you until his latest incident. Gordon doesn't want to play football apparently.Acquire Josh Gordon. One 4th rounder? Both? I don't care. He sounds like he's ready to be a top playmaker. Can you imagine gordon, Tavon and Gurley on the field at the same time? Um.....yes, please.
Get the German wide out in the 4th instead, and Boldin.
Thing is Elm... you just can't find that SPARQ level in a guy that size... dood's got a 130+ SPARQ at 6'5" 230lbs... That's just INSANE.
They've drafted guys higher who just ran "9" routes who ran 4.3 before. This guy looks coachable...can actually catch (which a lot of track guys couldn't always) and is seriously a physical specimen.
I'm surprised if he doesn't go EARLIER to a team with a lot of picks because if you miss, then you miss, but if you hit...hoooo man... that's a guy with the potential to be a true difference maker for a long time...
There is so much more to being a receiver in the NFL than just athleticism. You say he can catch but how many contested balls have you seen him catch? How many tough catches have you seen him make. How many drops does he have? Have you even seen him catch at all? You are assuming a lot about this guy. Like Dieter said this guy's name in English is Brian Quick.
Right now he isn't even NFL Europe level for competition that he has faced. Even these elite Basketball types that switch to football usually go after round 5 or later.
I wouldn't draft him in the first or with the 33rd pick, but we're talking the 4th round... How many guys with clear all-pro ceilings with development make it down there and not because of negative character issues?
I know he's raw as sushi. I'd still take him over someone whose ceiling is barely starter if that.
