Miami Dolphins 2014 2nd round pick- Jarvis Landry

[DuderinoN703]

So funny how every WR needs to run the 40 in 4.3 and also have the size and ability to catch the ball. Maybe in 2090 when cyborgs play the game will WRs be as perfect as some of you think they should be.

4.77 is less-than-stellar. He'd better catch EVERYTHING.

he pulled his hammy during that 40...his pro day 40 was 4.58

Better than blindly defending everything when we suck every year

5-11 and slow and not a position of need. I wonder how even homers could defend this.

He produced playing with a great qb and a first round receiver drawing all the attention on the other side. Doesn't do enough to make up for absolutely hideous numbers.

77 passes for 1193 yards and 10 TDs last season for LSU are bad numbers? Completely fascinating to hear that.

He was slow at the combine, but ran much faster at his pro day, 4.5 range. Claimed he tweaked his quad at the combine

And 1 (yes that is the single numuro uno) drop last year.

Really stoked about this kid. I'm pumped.

I think it may have been even faster than that. Either way, put the tape on, that's the selling point.

Landry was an ok pick but the guy is molasses slow while not being big. He's a good pick in the 4th round but as a second round pick I would have much preferred someone who had a lot more upside. I hope he makes it but there's reason every slow guy doesn't become Anquan Boldin.

He's not slow. It's not true. Don't look at his combine time, that's misleading. He was hurt.

maybe wait and see him on the field ya dope...you probably whined about Zach Thomas too

Good solid WR who fights for the ball, something Miami lacks.

Seriously, that was a ridiculous post. Sometimes it helps if people actually watch the games and stop reading 40 times.

I personally believe that Landry was a fine selection. The guy catches footballs. Tannehill could use someone like that. He's going to move chains, in my opinion.

FYI Keenen Allen had a bad combine also.

I read that he strained his hamstring running the 40.. So that could have hurt his time. He improved at the pro day, not by a ton but not quite as abysmal

His unofficial times have been clocked at 4.49, 4.58, 4.65.....BEFORE the combine.

I'll take 1 drop in his last 103 catches for a SLOT WR OVER .2 seconds of speed ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

This is an incredible pick. He will be our new Devone Bess in the slot.

LOVE IT. Hickey could have gone need and instead he went BPA after trading down twice. Way to go!

Bumping these two quotes because that puts his 40 in perspective.

NFLdraftscout.com’s Frank Cooney: “Along with Clemson's Sammy Watkins, was only other high school five-star receiver in this draft, so his talents have been known for a while. Arrives in draft with ample experience running pro-style routes. He is probably a more reliable go-to receiver than higher ranked teammate Odell Beckham, although the latter is more of a home-run threat. He is faster than his unfair 40-yard time of 4.77 at combine, where he ran with bad hamstring. He is more of a 4.60. Former prep basketball star with huge, strong hands and a tough-guy attitude that should make him a great target in a West Coast offense, and pretty effective in any scheme.”

I get where you're coming from, but I think it's legitimate to have concerns about a receiver's athletic ability when we're fans of a team that has recently featured two starting wide receivers who can't stay on their damn feet after catching the football, and couldn't outrun the northbound end of a southbound garden slug.

 

[circumstances]

as many have said, he had a hamstring problem at the combine (and probably shouldn't have run the 40). NFL Draftscout noted that his competitiveness took over and he struggled to finish in 4.77. as many have also said, he ran a 4.58 at his pro day. he isn't an absolute speed burner, but speed is not going to be an issue for him in the NFL. he is a mid to high 4.5 guy.

 

[Unchained 07]

Love this pick. Forget about his 40 time at the combine, he had a busted hammy. Runs solid routes, knows how to separate and attacks every ball thrown in his zip code. Mark it down, this guy is game changer and exactly what Tannehill needs.
