He's raw, but he's pretty much exactly what we needed at the position. Tall, fast, physical WR that specializes outside the hashes, but is willing to go underneath or over the middle. He also presents a big target in the red area as well. He just needs to fine tune his route running a little bit. His Wonderlic was a bit on the low side as well, but it wasn't low enough to give Pats fans reasons to panic. He wasn't in my top three of WR's available, but he was what I (and many others) have been calling for since the close of the AFCCG. The Pats should now target Patton or Swope to pair with him and they will hopefully fill out the WR position. FWIW, even with those two selections, I'm also a fan of bringing Lloyd back.
I see this kid as being what we hoped to get in Lloyd but more. Faster, bigger, great hands and great reach and target range. The clips I watched impressed me as he took balls away from defenders. When did we last see a Pats WR actually take a ball away from a DB or safety? 2007?
Another Red Zone option, sorely needed.
