It's easy, and only takes a few moments.And definitely don't allow BB to interview him; he could have excellent interviewing skills like Harry. And we all know how important interviews are on the playing field.London and the receiver from Purdue are harry wannabe’s!
Please do not let bb watch any of their tape!
It's not BB. You have to think like a dumba-s to understand the offensive staff. Harry happened because Gronk had just left so they talked themselves into big red zone target, again big guy, potential jump ball threat.
This time if you think like a dumba-s I see this offensive staff saying they're missing an Edelman/Welker threat. So will hype up some bust WR who is supposedly quick and fast.
This is all moot as the Pats should just STAY AWAY from WR with high draft picks. A total nightmare record here on WR with high picks. Cross out all WRs on the high draft board until the draft eval process is blown up and remade at WR
if you look at bb’s history of misses on early round wide receivers, the thing that stands out is that he has missed on a bunch of different types of receivers. in college….
harry was slow, but had production.
bethel was super fast, but had no production,
Jackson had decent speed and decent production.
It’s like they took chances on all types of receivers, but somehow missed on most all of them.
They overthink the high WR picks. By the seventh round and the F/A period they must revert to the quick, simple, Fred-From-Dartmouth criteria; i.e. can he get open? For some reason the can-he-get-open question gets lost in the shuffle of other selection criteria in the early rounds. Those other criteria must revolve around BB's pet peeves such as whether the WR is a boy scout or a prima donna, does he give a good interview, does he go to church on Sundays, Wonderlic score, does he call his mother once a day, etc.
That is the only things that makes sense. How could a schlubb like me do a better job than BB on WRs? I spend, like, 90 seconds looking at each WRs highlights and mentally measuring their separation. Last year it was Waddle who had the best separation but I am hardly infalible; I had Waddle rated much higher than Chase. This year it looks like London has no separation while this year's board binky, Slade Bolden, has good separation. But I am cynical about binkies...

7th round pick and UDFA. Because at that point they abandon the crappy WR draft system and simply ask if a guy can get open and catch the ball, or at least have potential to.
at what point in a draft does bb abandon the flawed wr grading system, because I seem to remember him taking a wr named Taylor in the third or fourth round one year and all I could think was …. Why?
Really? Where did you hear this? Don't get me wrong, I am happy to be in the same sentence with BB's dad, but it seems highly improbable...Can he get open used to be his dad's main scouting criteria for WRs. You're right. The WR system got broken after 2004 when mcd and caserio changed it and impressed bb with illogical mumbo jumbo

The amazing, truly amazing, thing about BB and WRs is that he cannot correct himself. BB is highly flexible and adaptable; if there is a problem he can usually fix it....all except the the drafting of WRs. He fails again and again but keeps making the bad choices again and again; BBs WR problem is not fixable, apparently. It is like a dog chasing garbage trucks; it just never learns.
