Haha, I feel like we got a lot of Al Davis disciples on this board. If it were up to some of you, there'd be about 20 guys on the roster who were 5'9" or so and about 150lbs but could run sub 4.45.
I need to see way more of his kid before I make an opinion. All his highlights show was straight line speed. No catches over the middle, he only ran 2 routes, didn't show any elusiveness or wiggle and didn't show any vision. I'm not saying he doesn't have those attributes, I'm just saying his highlight type didn't show anything one way or the other.
He also only had one kick return, and all he did was sprint around the edge and then he got caught. Somebody already mentioned it, but Dorset was fast as **** and he sucked at returning the ball because he lacked the elusiveness and juke that someone like Hester and Moss had. Not enough tape to determine where he fits between those guys.
As far as bringing him in as an athlete, what other position would he play besides WR? Dude looks like he weighs 150lbs with a frame that says he still buys his jeans in the boy section. So he won't be a safety or a running back, which leaves CB. Once again, there wasn't anything in his film that showed he did or didn't have the hips and feet to play corner. DVD was fast as **** but he didn't look like it too many times in coverage.
It's a crazy year for WR in Florida. There are a legitimate 10 elite options at WR Miami is after. If the staff wants him, I'll trust their opinion because they'll have seen more of him and have a better idea of his physical capabilities. I'll be curious to see everyone's opinion after some of you see him in camps this summer. Paradise camp should be more exciting and even more competitive than last year.
I've wanted to say this, but really didn't feel like arguing over it lol
I get that everyone is on this "Need for Speed" edict, but I think it's legitimately become overstated on this board.
With this 2017 class of Thomas, Harley & Deejay in combination with Ahmmon & Mullins, I think we have plenty of Speed at WR. Plus Pope is as fast as they come.
As far as Schwartz is concerned I like him, have no issue with him & would take, but there's other WR's I would take ahead of him & if we're only taking 4 then there's 6 other prospects I would take before him.
