How do people who are into Leggett respond to this take on him...

I didn't say that at all. The weigh-in was another negative on Legette who, as I said, I was already out on due to his late age, late breakout, and inconsistency in his routes and footwork. I think Legette will struggle in the NFL. It's not a lazy take, and we don't know if it is…

Apparently he's the same age as Jamar Chase I had no idea he was that old as a prospect.

He's the same age Rashee Rice was coming out. Not an issue as much as answering the question of what took so long for him to breakout.

Why when I watch this shit is the only thing that keeps going through my head is "We're going to draft Ladd McConkey aren't we?"

We won't draft Sky Moore 2.0

I hate the "inconsistency in his routes" stuff with college WR's. Yeah, no shit.

Coach them up.

That's a harsh comparison at least he played at a power 5 school.

You should break your keyboard for even typing that.

I honestly don't even know if it's WR first, some of these guys are gonna go way earlier.

Troy Franklin could easily be a top 20 pick.

I would say so far Legette hasn't looked very good in day 1 of senior bowl practices. Hasn't looked bad but I was hoping he would dominate a little more.

I think I'm rooting for Legette to run an absolutely stupid time and have a kick-ass Senior Bowl. Drive him up the board, increase the likelihood Franklin makes it to KC at 32.

There are so many teams that can go WR early I think you only get Franklin if you move, like I think his absolute lowest spot is Buffalo.

For example..

Top 10
Harrison, Nabers

10-15
Odunze

I think those 3 are locked in the top 15, Brian Thomas could easily go in the top 15 also. So all of the sudden Franklin is now the next guy...

WRs require plenty of coaching early in their careers.

Can't coach size and speed into them though.

Say no to McConkey and yes to Roman Wilson

Nearly every WR with under 2.5 YPRR has been a bust or slow out of gates.

Jalen Reagor - 2.08
Jahan Dotson - 2.21
Henry Ruggs - 2.23
Jamison Williams - 2.51
Kadarius Toney - 2.56

So yes….

Brian Thomas Jr - 1.90
Keon Coleman - 1.85
Adonai Mitchell - 1.75

Is concerning. https://t.co/yviIcjsmem
