Board mock draft

[vancelot23]

He also has the coolest nickname in the draft. Who doesn't want a guy named "Nuke" on the field?

I don't have Hopkins top 20. I've got him as a late 1st early 2nd talent. He isn't "fast".

Hopkins > Hunter. Better hands. Better route runner. More reliable.

Hopkins > Hunter. Better hands. Better route runner. More reliable.

And since he's slow, our other receivers won't feel threatened. He'll fit right in.

 

[vancelot23]

He's not slow. He ran a 4.57, but who the fuck cares about what a guy runs? Speed in pads is what matters, and he was unstoppable. He had 1,400 yards and 18 TDs.

 

[vancelot23]

AJ Green ran a "slow" 4.50.

 

[cincygrad]

Hopkins looks a lot like Marvin Jones to me.... He's not particularly big, he's not particularly fast.... His productivity is hard to argue though - Just hard to know if it will translate on Sunday

 

[Tubbs1518]

Hunter was 10X the WR Hopkins was before he got hurt. He is just now getting back to his old self.

 

[vancelot23]

I disagree. He was inconsistent with his hands and had a lot of drops. He's fast. So are a lot of guys.

I can leave again if your gonna start talkin to me.

You promise? Hello!

 

[Tubbs1518]

I disagree. He was inconsistent with his hands and had a lot of drops. He's fast. So are a lot of guys.

Except he really wasn't before his injury. I think that goes away as he gets completely back healthy.

 

[vancelot23]

I still prefer Hopkins. Not basing it on "ifs" and "maybes". Hopkins is better now.

 

[Tubbs1518]

I'm not sure he will be as a pro. He isn't as fast on the field as AJ Green is.

 

[vancelot23]

He's fast enough that nobody could cover him last year. With Green on the other side, he'll see 1-on-1 coverage a lot.

 

[Tubbs1518]

He played in the ACC. Not overly impressed. If we took him at 37 I wouldn't be upset, at 21 I would.

 

[vancelot23]

I'd be upset if we take any WR at 21.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Then we are on the same page then. Crisis averted.

To be fair, one of his best games was against LSU in the bowl.

 

[cincygrad]

He also put up good numbers against a weak Auburn (SEC) team.
