Forget White, he wont make it to 14.
If Miami wants a receiver at #14 they better look harder at Cooper, Parker and Strong.
I gotta watch more tape on Conley too. The guy showed he has a lot of explosion today...as Mayok would say he made some coin.

White is definitely gone . . . Parker I think will be there. Strong moves up with his performance (4.44 40 time). I think the biggest concern with him was speed/separation and that 40 time answered some questions . . . just gotta figure out why he doesn't seem to play that fast on the field.

concern with strong wasnt speed.... it was how he fires off the line his footwork and lack of good route running.... thats his woes. just having top speed isnt going to create separation consistently in the NFL
White though!!! Took it all... please dont be gone at 14 (i got my fingers crossed)
When I watch Strong on tape he doesn't play that fast. He struggles sometimes to get separation and that comes from poor route running. Speed is not enough...just look at Percy Harvin...I think Harvin averaged 6 yards per reception in Seattle with a pretty good deep ball thrower in Russell Wilson. I also don't think Strong wins enough in the red zone...with his speed and vertical he should be unstoppable in the red zone but one of his games...might of been Arizona...he lost more red zone opportunities than he should have.
Strong is raw...not as raw as DGB or Coates but he's raw...he's got room to improve so he's not a finished product but that also makes him a borderline starter in the NFL on day 1. For a team that's really hurting for WRs he would probably start...on a team like the Packers where they have Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb (if they bring him back) and Devante Adams he'd be the 4th WR on that roster.

I agree with this.... just wrote on another thread on Strong too with this.
He never struggled with speed, its his fire off the line, footwork and lack of running good routes. Strong is athletic and has ability, just lots of work to do.

One more thing too.... many have like 5-6 WRs right now going first round... do you really think that is going to happen? you really think that many teams have drastic WR needs that they are going to take stabs at WRs in the first.... history has shown that Wrs are not flying off the boards that early anymore due to the fact of them easily tending in becoming busts.
White and Cooper will be gone.
Were looking at Parker or DGB at I think as far as receivers....one of them should be there.
