[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 719870, member: 12283"] So as posted in another thread, Thompson seems to have some guidelines when it comes to the receiver position. In the 9 wide outs he's drafted in the top 4 rounds, we see the following patterns emerge: -7/9 6'0" or taller (Cobb at 5'10" and Jennings at 5'11") -8/9 4.56 or faster in the forty (Cory Rodgers 4.58) -8/9 7.08 or faster in the three cone (Cory Rodgers 7.37) -9/9 4.35 or faster in the short shuttle The height minimum caught my eye as it seems to emerge as a pattern at multiple positions for TT. So I wanted to compare top 3 round receivers sub-6' and 6'+. Here are the lists. Sub 6': [LIST=1] [*]Odell Beckham [*]Brandin Cooks [*]Jarvis Landry [*]Josh Huff [*]John Brown [*]Tavon Austin [*]Marquise Goodwin [*]Markus Wheaton [*]Stedman Bailey [*]Kendall Wright [*]Ryan Broyles [*]T.J. Graham [*]T.Y. Hilton [*]Titus Young [*]Randall Cobb [*]Vincent Brown [*]Jerrel Jernigan [*]Golden Tate [*]Emmanuel Sanders [*]Jordan Shipley [*]Andre Roberts [*]Armanti Edwards [/LIST] 6'+: [LIST=1] [*]Sammy Watkins [*]Mike Evans [*]Kelvin Benjamin [*]Marqise Lee [*]Jordan Matthews [*]Paul Richardson [*]Davante Adams [*]Cody Latimer [*]Allen Robinson [*]Donte Moncrief [*]Deandre Hopkins [*]Corarrelle Patterson [*]Justin Hunter [*]Robert Woods [*]Aaron Dobson [*]Terrance Williams [*]Keenan Allen [*]Justin Blackmon [*]Michael Floyd [*]A.J. Jenkins [*]Brian Quick [*]Stephen Hill [*]Alshon Jeffery [*]Rueben Randle [*]Devier Posey [*]Mohamed Sanu [*]A.J. Green [*]Julio Jones [*]Jon Baldwin [*]Torrey Smith [*]Greg Little [*]Austin Pettis [*]Demaryius Thomas [*]Dez Bryant [*]Arrelious Benn [*]Damian Williams [*]Brandon LaFell [*]Eric Decker [*]Taylor Price [/LIST] So obviously varying sample sizes, but I don't have the energy to go back to '05 on the shorties. Let's compare the rates. By my count (feel free to do your own assessment), I see a hit rate of 36% among the sub 6' crowd. Among the taller players, I see a hit rate of 51%, with some tough calls in there. And, like at corner, the peaks in this crowd are much higher. All of the true "elite" receivers are coming out of that crowd with the exception of OBJ. So it would seem, at a cursory glance, that the 6' guideline at WR is a wise rule. I also think it bodes well that TT is willing to break it if the right guy falls to him. So who are some of the 6'+ guys with ~4.55 or faster forty times, ~7.08 or faster 3C's and good short shuttles? Glad you asked: [LIST] [*]Zay Jones, East Carolina [*]Chris Godwin, Penn State [*]Juju Smith-Schuster, USC [*]Chad Hansen, Cal [*]Josh Reynolds, Texas AM [*]Amara Darboh, Michigan [*]Josh Malone, Tennessee [*]Jehu Chesson, Michigan [*]Kenny Golladay, Northern Illinois [*]Robert Davis, Georgia State [*]Chad Williams, Grambling [*]Amba Etta-Tawo, Syracuse [*]Rodney Adams, South Florida [*]Michael Rector, Stanford [*]Quincy Adeboyejo, Ole Miss [/LIST] Notable receivers who lack some of the key data points (as in, they're missing-- not that they fell short): Corey Davis, Mike Williams, Mack Hollins. Of that list, I'd be happy to have Jones in the 2nd; Hansen, Reynolds, or Darboh in the 3rd; Malone in the 4th; or Chesson in the 5th. [/QUOTE]
