Official 1st Round Of The 2015 NFL Draft Thread

[Bretsky]

Browns getting killed for taking a Center who is a better guard to block for a lack of skill position players.

On the other hand...

Doug Farrar @SI_DougFarrar 1m1 minute ago
Erving can play multiple positions, and Mitchell Schwartz? Well, not good. And he can kick inside for Mack if he opts out.

He seemed like a great pick for a well rounded playoff team

Not for the Browns who need to find a bunch of starters

[Bretsky]

So why do you want to repeat that?

Maybe our luck changes and one of the preferred star falls ???

7. NELSON AGHOLOR | USC 6001|198 lbs|3JR Tampa, Fla. (Berkeley Prep HS) 5/24/1993 (age 21) #15

BACKGROUND: A five-star wide receiver/safety recruit out of high school, Agholor, who was born in Nigeria and moved to the U.S. in 1998, had every program in the country fighting for his talent, eventually choosing USC over Florida and several other nearby schools. With Robert Woods and Marqise Lee entrenched as the Trojans’ starting receivers, he settled into the No. 3 wide receiver role on the USC offense as a true freshman, finishing third on the team with 340 yards on 19 catches in 2012. With Woods off to the NFL, Agholor and Lee formed a dynamic duo and he recorded a team-best 918 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns, earning Second Team All-Pac 12 honors as a return man with two punt return scores. Agholor stepped into the No. 1 wide receiver role as a junior and finished among the conference leaders in receptions (104), receiving yards (1,313) and receiving touchdowns (12), also returning two punts for touchdowns. He earned First Team All-Pac 12 and All-American honors in 2014 and decided to skip his senior season for the 2015 NFL Draft.


STRENGTHS: Gifted athlete with electric feet and sudden movement skills…explosive leaper with coordinated body control to make easy adjustments and snatch the ball out of the air…separates well in his patterns with good depth and burst in his breaks, creating room to work with improved routes…shows the start/stop quickness to catch defenders off guard, picking up speed as he goes…finds running lanes as a ballcarrier, displaying vision and setting up his moves…flashes quick, soft hands to snare throws away from his body…feisty ballcarrier and will flash the toughness to pick up each yard…adequate effort blocker for the position…motivated self-starter and team captain with dependable football character…offers special teams value as a return man – averaged 14.6 yards per punt return (37/530) at USC with four career touchdowns, also returned kicks (24/443/18.5/0)…high level of starting production, especially in 2014 as his 1,313 receiving yards ranks fourth-best all-time in school history for a single season.


WEAKNESSES: Lean-framed and thin-muscled, lacking the body type to comfortably carry 200+ pounds…bad habit of getting wild in his routes or running into his own blockers and needs to do a better job of staying controlled in his movements – several examples of him leaving production on the field because he couldn’t tightrope the sideline…too many focus drops and double-catches on his résumé, displaying frustrating ballskills and concentration…needs to eliminate the mental errors and improve his situational awareness…spirited runner, but won’t break tackles and doesn’t play with consistent finishing toughness, looking to avoid contact…room to improve his reliability as a return man (several botched returns) and as a ballcarrier (two career fumbles)…minor durability concern – missed part of the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine with a broken finger on his left hand.


SUMMARY: USC’s leading receiver the past two seasons, Agholor is looking to follow in the footsteps of Robert Woods and Marqise Lee who were both second round picks in the 2013 and 2014 NFL Drafts, respectively – both were among the top-six receivers drafted and both in the top-41 picks. Agholor is an athletic pass-catcher with the sudden movements and body control to make fluid adjustments on the ball, although he needs to eliminate the drops and mental miscues to be a reliable weapon at the next level. He doesn’t have the speed to be a game-breaker or the body type for a possession target, but should fit nicely as a No. 2/3 option who can play inside and outside and also be impactful as a return man if he proves to be a reliable finisher.

Bud Dupree going to land with a playoff team. Bit of a slide for him.

[smuggler]

Bengals can get a dude named Bud, or a dude that smokes Bud.

[Joemailman]

Malcom Brown or Eddie Goldman good options for Bengals.
