DJ Chark WR LSU

There is a lot to like. He has to be skyrocketing up the draft boards now. I just wonder why his #'s aren't better? He can't put up 1,000 yards? He can't put up more than 3 TD's? Something doesn't add up here? I don't get it?

Maybe you should try thinking logically about the team he plays on. LSU runs the football and plays defense. Guys don't just put up numbers out of thin air, they're just as much a product of the offense as a they are of the kid's individual talent. Also, how many good quarterbacks have they had to get this kid the football?

probably just the scheme and poor QB play. He had some amazing games though. Primarily was a big play receiver. Didnt show consistency but probably because he wasnt given the chance. He showed in the Senior Bowl that he can consistently terrorize a defense.

Would love this guy in the 2nd round. has the potential to be a top 5 WR. Im always wary of these late risers but this guy seems like he has it all. Checks off all the boxes.

Maybe but with ability like that you have to put up more than 3 TD's. For the explosiveness he has that is actually pretty bad. Plus he should have over 1,000 yards. The only red flag is production here. I still think his production should be more. Especially the TD's. Even more so than the yards. 3 TD's all year long with that size and speed?.....

Have you watched LSU at all? Their offense is built around the run game and defense, plus their QB's have been horrible since JaMarcus Russell left. Completely underutilized.

There really is a lot to like here. But the #'s just seem bad somehow. Especially the 3 TD's. The height and size and speed he has and all he can get is 3 TD's all year long? That doesn't make sense to me.

So you think with the right accurate QB he can be much better? Jimmy G can get him the ball? I would just like to see more TD's especially. More so than even the yards. Jimmy G can do it all but the one thing he is not perfect at is the deep ball. That's a lot of what he would throw to this guy. He's not terrible at it but I don't think it is his best throw. It's something to consider.

But we could use a big, tall, fast WR who could take the top off a defense. We need that really badly. We haven't had that in so long. It would be great for this team.

well the things i think he needs to work on is upper body strength and fighting at the line of scrimmage. I think those two things he can definitely learn under a good coach and strength program.

He hasnt been challenged with route running but Shannahan has turned Gabriel and Goodwin into great receivers. Those two were also guys who were previously thought of as having limited route trees

Ground and pound offense. Low grade game manager at QB. Chark was often used like a decoy. His production issues weren't because he wasn't getting open.
