Grades out as a possible end of 2nd round selection.
Jason Avant
WR | (6'0
SCOUTING REPORT: [size=-1]Avant has decent height and a nice, solid build. He has a sturdy and muscular frame. His hands are elite. Passes stick to his hands and he rarely double clutches any passes. Avant shows great ability to snatch the ball out of the air and in a crowd. He is very reliable over the middle and isn't afraid of contact.. He is a move the chains type of receiver who makes a lot of catches on third down. He doesn't have great pure speed or explosiveness though. He hasn't shown himself to be much of a deep threat, but he understands the game well and gets open. In his route running, he shows good quickness in his breaks. What Avant also has is great football savvy. He runs his routes past the first down markers and is cogniscent of the sidelines and the back of the end zones. After the catch, he has shown some nimbleness, but this isn't his strong suit. In the running game, Avant is a strong and willing blocker. He gets good position and leverage and blocks until the whistle. Off the field and in the locker room, Avant is a strong presence and has great character. He is an unselfish, team first type of player.[/size]
Seems intriguing...seems like a reach for Belichick to take at #52 but If he slips to rd 3 and we havn't selected a WR perhaps he is the one. Has the most measurable quality for Belichick...great hands. I think a QB like Brady who is a great/hard short thrower could make a player like Avant rise a notch making him better. Sure hands and a QB who throws an extremely catchable ball are a great combo.
If Belichick goes RB / LB / Avant .... or ....LB / RB / Avant
Would you be happy with that...hypothetically of course?
