Those kinds of issues can be cleared up really easily once we get him in the building and he gets some real, professional coaching.

















I almost got through that with a straight face.

I was going to ask, do you think we actually offer that? And then I scrolled down and smiled .

So yeah, I was pretty skeptical but the more I see of White, the more I see a dynamic playmaker at the NFL level. I'm officially on board the bandwagon. Choo-choo.

Highlight Tape

we desperately need a player like him

He has been my draft crush since the start of the season. This is who I want. I see a lot of Julio'ish type plays from him on the field. I love the way he competes for the ball in the air over a defender and snatches it aggressively with his hands. He has that "IT" factor and is what we been missing since Owens.

I'm not as impressed with him as most people are.

Why? His route running improved from last year, and he is now showing real savvy in his game. He has size, strength, speed, athleticism, and timing. He had a couple down games, but that can be coaching/planning/play-calling as much as individual performance.

The guy just doesn't really stand out as a receiver IMO. A lot of receivers have savvy, size, strength, speed, athleticism and timing. I don't know if any of his attributes are outstanding in those areas though.

He's nowhere near the prospect DGB is IMO. And I'd probably put Jalen Strong over him at this point. Maybe he'll change my mind at the combine...

Why would the combine change your mind about anyone? White looks as much like Fitz as anyone I've watched in years (not just the dreads). He pulls away in the open field, and he consistently wins jump balls. He can get separation, but he's still open 3 ft above his head when he doesn't separate. DGB is talented, but insanely raw. Strong is a baller, but he may have serious issues gaining separation. He'd be like a taller Boldin, but I don't know that Kap would be confident using him as a deep threat if he never looks open.

Now that we will be drafting in a spot to get either White, DGB, or Strong we will probably draft an injured Middle Linebacker

This is the guy I want

Count me on board. He has the height and weight combo at 6'3" 210 lbs. He looks like a natural hands catcher and goes up for the ball extremely well at it's high point. And he seems to be plenty fast for my taste (watch him against Oklahoma and Bama). He seems to get good separation oh and he looks like he is a very good and willing blocker.

Kevin White just caught a 49 yrd TD against Texas A&M. Lol. Nice.

This guy is legit, already a very polished player.
