Emanuel Hall WR, Missouri | Page 2

This is my guy. The video here doesn't do him much justice (neither does Lock TBH). As it mainly just shows most of his deep routes. This season he showed that he's more than just that. As I stated in other threads he reminds me of Pettis' feet though not quite as polished as Pettis running routes. While also having Goodwin kind of speed. Though maybe not quite as fast as Goodwin. IMO he fits pretty seamlessly into Shanny's system. While he isn't that big body guy. His release and route running along with pettis' I think is good enough in the redzone when coupled with Kittle. ANALYST'S REPORTSLedyard Separation Quickness - Explosive mover who can alter his course in the blink of an eye. Capable of pressing vertically and then snapping off his route underneath to create separation. Feet are explosive into his breaks and possesses the extra gear to separate late in the rep. Burst is evident off the line of scrimmage and at the top of his routes. Ball Skills - Has shown the ability to make tough adjustments on back shoulder throws. Hands are inconsistent and will drop/double-catch some passes, which is a concern. Drop rate is down significantly this season however, and will high-point the football and finish away from his frame. Competes for the ball and is not passive at the catch point. Speed/Burst - Easy speed and acceleration off the line of scrimmage and into his patterns. Demolishes cushions with long strides. Can threaten with speed off the snap and down the field with the ball in the air, flashing a second gear to detach and finish vertically. Has made a living running away from corners in the SEC, but also means he has to test really well in 40 to maximize his best trait. Route-Running - All the tools are there, but this is definitely an area of Hall's game that can still improve. Can stand to do a better job of working the corner's blind spot when he opens them up with his speed. Has improved this season at stepping on corner's toes and exploding into his break. Limited in his route tree in Missouri's old Air Raid offense, ran vast majority of his routes on a linear plane. As a vertical route runner, understands how to stack corners and uses his hands expertly to ward off contact and create space. Contested Catch - This is not where Hall has made his living in college, but he does have an impressive vertical and has flashed the ability to win through contact. As a whole, not a situation his suspect hands and lithe frame project to thrive in, and he'll allow defensive backs to work through his frame on underneath routes at times. Still, his length, athleticism and fluid adjustments to the ball down the field will allow him to be competent enough in this role to survive in the NFL. YAC - Not given a ton of manufactured touches to make an impact after the catch in Missouri's offense until this season, but has shown excellent elusiveness in limited opportunities to make the first man miss and pick up extra yards. Not going to break many tackles or be super dynamic in the open field, but will put his shoulder down and maximize every touch. Releases - One of the best aspects of Hall's game. Varies his releases, featuring stutter, stretch and swim releases to manipulate defensive backs at the line of scrimmage and stack them quickly on vertical routes. Lightning quick feet with little wasted movement or steps. Forces defenders to open prematurely which allows for early separation. Excellent hand usage and typically fights through the jams of even bigger corners, although fair to wonder if his slight frame will hold up as easily against NFL press coverage. Blocking - Not featured as a blocker very often. Mostly charged with running off corners on the outside on rushing plays. Shows good effort and physicality when he does block. Frame isn't particularly imposing when projecting him to a blocking role in the NFL. Competitive Toughness - Mental makeup has been praised often. Plays tough and physical at all times, showing good effort and competitive fire. No concerns evident in this area on tape. Athleticism/Size - Should test at an all-around extremely high level. Athleticism is a major strength, as is his length, but may need to pack on some muscle for the NFL. Listed at 200, may be closer to a slender 195. BEST TRAIT - Speed WORST TRAIT - Hands RED FLAGS - Has had some nagging injuries over the course of his career - shoulder, hamstring, groin - but nothing serious enough to raise major concerns. In a draft class with a ton of towering wide receivers that need to prove their speed and athleticism at the Combine, Hall will simply be checking a box we all expect him to. His burst, speed and second gear with the ball in the air give him a clear trump card as a vertical threat immediately in the NFL, especially due to his ability to beat press coverage off the line of scrimmage. Hall isn't super well-rounded yet, and contested catches and a fully dynamic route tree may never be his calling cards, but he has the ability to be more than just a one-trick pony in the NFL too. If he can keep the drops under control, Hall could be an important day two pick for a team in need of a big play threat.

Do you disagree with that? He was listed at 6'3", measured in today at 6'1 close to 6'2, do you think that's better than him measuring in at what he was listed at 6'3" in terms of value?

I obviously like Hall. Im all in on him. But he didn't necessarily play up to his 6'2 size. So him being 6'2 shouldn't really add much value.

My comments were in general. Not just in relation to Hall. A lot of players dont play up to his Size/speed. And their attributes in those cases too shouldn't add value.

But it does. Happens every year and it will happen this week. Guys could have average tape and have a 5th round grade coming into this week. If they have an outstanding Combine that measures height, weight and speed, they absolutely have just added value to GMs, coaches etc... and now all of a sudden is a 3rd round pick. It happened today when Kyler Murray measured in at 5'10". Do you think his value went up or you think it wouldn't matter if he even came in just an inch shorter at 5'9"? I still don't understand what you're saying and if you don't understand what I'm saying then I don't know what to tell you

Gotcha, shouldn't and doesn't are two different things and I thought you were saying it doesn't. Maybe the CAPS helped me understand better, been a long day lol.

You implied that you would like him more if he was 6'3, hence the heart eyes emoji. We were just saying, in his case, it shouldn't change our opinion of him

Well yeah I would, It's what he was listed as. It may not change your opinion on him, but it might for others at the combine when he measured an inch shorter than what he was listed as. That's all I was saying, especially if he doesn't perform well in the other test, height weight and speed matters at the combine.

He is the same type of player than Pettis. Great footwork.
I won´t be surprised if Kyle goes full I don´t give a f**k mode and takes him at top of the second round.

I was stuck at a volleyball tournament. How did Hall look in the on field drills?

Emanuel Hall posted one of the best #RAS of the #2019NFLCombine, currently ranking 18th out of 2,028 receivers since 1987. Obviously amazing explosion to go with great speed.
