Official Day 3 Of The 2017 NFL Draft Thread

[Teamcheez1]

Got an extra late 7th for moving back 4 spots.

Gives us an extra body instead of the UDFA dance.

who the hell is this guy?

classic TT, projected UDFA

[beveaux1]

He went on visits to the Seahawks, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Packers, Raiders, Patriots, and Titans. Much more highly regarded than scouting publications gave him credit for.

Who was the last TT pick we didn't like who surprised us? Can't think of one

Many liked Pryor over HaHa. Not really a surprise though, just preference.

[pittstang5]

Wow...so many Wrs I'd take before this clown.....Ford, Brown.....wasted pick

[woodbuck27]

TT decides on this Pick:

Round Five NO. 32 (175 Overall) Packers (From Broncos through Browns and Patriots) WR DeAngelo Yancey and he's 6'2" and 201 lbs of very very RAW Prospect out of Purdue and Graded at 4.9.

Thanks Ted !

regional scout
BOTTOM LINE Four year letterman who has relied on quantity for his production totals. Yancey is a stiff-hipped vertical receiver only with good size but below average hands. A team could sniff around on him on Day 3, but he will struggle to uncover against NFL man coverage.

sounds like nothing special

[VegasPackFan]

Matt Waldman compares Yancey to JAVON WALKER in his rookie profile publication. That was even before the Packers drafted him. Everything I read says very underrated and was probably held back by his QB/System at Purdue. I like it.

how is he very raw when he started all 4 years in the big 10?

Yea but everyone liked the HaHa pick

[Brandon494]

WR reminds me of James Jones honestly but still a bad pick imo...not excited about any of these picks today

[pbmax]

Wow...so many Wrs I'd take before this clown.....Ford, Brown.....wasted pick

Its probably unwise to bet against Thompson over WRs.

[pbmax]

Yea but everyone liked the HaHa pick

He was a name, but not the first choice. He was also a need fit. And that is normally the bad news.

[red]

Yea but everyone liked the HaHa pick

i loved pryor when he was a 6'3 safety, i started to like haha more when pryor become a 5'10 safety

loved the haha pick

[VegasPackFan]

Yancey’s 4.48-second 40, 4.24-second 20-Shuttle,
and dazzling 6.84-second 3-Cone time should be
waking the league up late in the pre-draft process.
After all, Purdue hasn’t been a hotbed for
quarterbacking since Drew Brees left.
Based on the tape that I saw, inconsistent
quarterback play factors into why he didn’t catch 50
percent of his targets during his career. While he’s
not as quick-twitch with routes in the short area of
the field as I’d like to see, there’s a lot of promise
with his intermediate and vertical game. At 220
pounds, Yancey is a power receiver with quickness
and that style wins, too.
Yancey is a smart route runner. He works back to his
quarterback, and he'll set up zone routes with good
timing, especially when other teammates are
involved in creating a bind for cornerbacks.

[red]

most people didn't think we had a chance at Haha because he was projected to go well before our pick. so everyone focused on the other safties, pryor being the stand out of the group. therefore everyone was looking at us to draft pryor

we ended up with the better player though

Here is your brand new Packer WR !!! DeAngelo Yancey out of Purdue:

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profil...cey?id=2558025

OVERVIEW
Purdue has won a total of nine games in the four years Yancey has been on campus, so he's flown a bit under the radar. The Atlanta native has been a strong part of any success the team has had since 2013, however. As a true freshman, he started five games, catching 32 passes for 546 yards and two touchdowns. He was a part-time starter again in 2014 (seven starts, 12-147, three TDs) before hitting his stride as a junior. Yancey led the Boilermakers with 700 yards on 48 receptions, scoring five times in the process. For the second year in the row, he paced the squad with 951 yards on 49 catches and 10 touchdowns, earning third-team All-Big Ten accolades in the process.

ANALYSIS:

STRENGTHS Good size with sturdy frame. Averaged 19.4 yards per touch his senior season. Has build up speed and can climb over top if his runway is long enough. Active hands on vertical routes to create late separation. Can extend frame to pluck the high throw. Can track throws over his shoulder and watch them all the way in. Works away from cornerbacks on comebacks and hitch throws to create a cleaner window for quarterback. Will get in the way and run interference as a blocker.

WEAKNESSES Short stepper missing quick feet to shake press coverage off the snap. Upright and slow into his routes. Stiff into his breaks with prolonged gear down. Lacks burst out of breaks and double moves aren't quick enough to create the easy throwing window. Quality man coverage can smother him. Failed to catch at least 50 percent of targeted throws in any season at Purdue. Vertical sell to setup short and intermediate is unconvincing. Drops have been an issue throughout his career.

DRAFT PROJECTION Round 7-PFA

SOURCES TELL US "Priority free agent. Has to play down the field because he's not going to get open underneath. He's got size and can run a little bit so he's got a chance." -- AFC South regional scout

BOTTOM LINE Four year letterman who has relied on quantity for his production totals. Yancey is a stiff-hipped vertical receiver only with good size but below average hands. A team could sniff around on him on Day 3, but he will struggle to uncover against NFL man coverage.
