Cody Latimer, WR, Indiana... all hype? or overlooked awesomeness?

Beckham at #6 makes me weep openly. Can't see why Lee gets the nod over Beckham, Latimer, or Moncrief... who all have speed... better size.. and better hands.

Have you seen Moncrief play? The guy has stone hands and plays extremely soft for how big he is. The few times he is asked to work the middle dude sees ghosts and is extremely hesitant. They had him run like 3 routes at ole miss(hitch, slant, slant n go/hitch n go) and I don't think ive ever seen Moncrief extend his arms to high point the ball. 1st round measurables, 4th round talent. Neither wide receiver has good hands and both were leaders in drop percentage of all the top WR prospects in the draft.

I have openly stated that Moncrief doesn't have ideal hands... but he does catch most of what comes his way... he just doesn't always extend out and too many get into his body. Other than hands and playing a bit soft for his size, Moncrief is a very appealing prospect though. I currently have him at #47 on my BB.

Targets to drops ratio Phoenix?

Latimer is still way ahead of the pack considering he had 73 receptions but players like Matthews, Cooks, Robinson, and Adams were probably probably targeted a significant percentage more than Latimer.
