I just found out that Moncrief is 20. If I remember correctly both Aldon Smith and Anthony Davis were below average age as well. Young and a combine freak. He is definitely on the Harbaalke wishlist.

Can't remember where I read it, but some scout was saying this guy could be the sleeper of this very deep WR draft class. If it were up to me and we had a choice of guys like Benjamin, Matthews or Moncrief, I would take Moncrief. The size PLUS the speed is what this team needs. Hope Baalke makes it happen.

Moncrief and Adams I like a lot. Donate has the measurables and long speed we are looking for. Adams reminds me a little of Crabtree in case we lose him. It seems we like that type WR. Tough gritty catch radius YAC and physically built

He's one of those receivers that has an extra gear. You can kind of see him switch to another gear at 2:15 to run the ball down. Dude could really help this offense stretch the field.

Don't tell solid, but there are several plays in there where Moncrief is beating double coverage, and where there is a safety rolled over the top of him, including a handful where he just ran straight by the double.

Manningham with Moncrief's aize & athleticism would've been an all-pro. Loved me some Moncrief ever since I saw him blow by Eric Reid in that 2012 game against LSU (I was one of the world's biggest Eric Reid fans).

Like this kid and would be happy if they got him. Having said that I hope his hands are better than this highlight video. He makes good contested grabs but lets the ball into his body on almost every one of them. I'd rather have Beckham who looks more comfortable catching everything with just his hands! But if we go CB in the first this kid could be a steal in the second.

Yes and he has 20 ish body catches in that highlight
No ones said he's not fast. Hell Ricardo Lockett is big, strong, and fast, how's that worked out?
I know they have different circumstances but I stand by my criticisms
I see Robert Meachem. I even like the Mario Manningham
He doesn't play big or strong, and when he's pressed he struggles

If you see that, you might need your eyes checked bro.

At about 4:40 they show some college highlights
Can't find many now, they've all been taken down I guess
Coming out of college as a 1st round pick, Meachem was a vertical threat with similar size and speed.
Hell just look at the cal vs ten 2006 game online, Meachem put up 180 on them and cal was ranked #9 at the time
Josh Gordon gets thrown out a lot, but Gordon's a 4.50 guy who uses his body and strength to get open.
He does look faster once he has the ball in his hands. But his style, body frame, physically, and toughness remind me of someone else not Moncreif
