What's he worth right now?

[Dynasty DeLorean]

Penny down 15 pounds. I believe last off season he came in at 236?

I still can't believe he got fat last season

What's he worth right now?

Not sure, but the only back I would move him for in this class is Jacobs, personally.

Apparently Evans missed most of the Bucs OTAs and Godwin has been Winston's go-to as they learn Arians' new system.

Arians doubled down on his 100-catch prediction from March, now after OTAs were completed.

Top it off: Godwin is one of Matt Harmon's Reception Perception darlings.

Another angle- Anthony Johnson and Damarkus Lodge are "impressing" and may have an inside track on the 3rd WR spot.

I suspect the first and second teams in camp have three, maybe four wide receivers a piece, so getting bumped up to the first team, while certainly a positive thing, likely means they are looking at the fourth or even fifth receiver spot. Pretty sure Scott Miller is working out of the slot with the first team and was showing well at minicamp from everything I’ve read. He’s exceptionally small, so we’ll see what happens when the pads go on, but right now I think he’s leading for the 3rd WR role.

What happened to Justin Watson?

What happened to Justin Watson?

Good question. There’s not much mention of him and he seems to get grouped in with Bobo and the UDFAs when the WRs are being discussed. Could be the new regime isn’t high on him. No idea tbh.

Agreed, the blurb lacked details to come to a firm conclusion. Down, distance and personnel not mentioned. Putting Miller or Godwin in the slot would allow them to test guys like Lodge or Johnson with the 1s on the perimeter.

MVS picking up the new system fast.

I think I will be throwing Watson back onto waivers. I agree. I have not heard anything about him this off season. Good or bad.

Chris Herndon getting ALL kinds of love in OTAs.

https://nypost.com/2019/05/31/chris-her ... is-season/

In addition to scooping up 502 yards and 4 touchdowns, Herndon did it while averaging a uber-efficient 8.96 yards per target. Since the turn of the century, only one other rookie tight end had reached all three of those marks.

Rob Gronkowski.

Let’s get back to that sparkling 8.96 number. How does that stack up against other rookie tight ends in the millennium?

The answer? Extremely well.

Since 2000, among rookie tight ends to see at least 50 targets thrown their way, Herndon’s 8.96 yards per target average ranks fourth-best. The top of the list is littered with stars.

Mark Andrews, Ravens, 2018 (11.04)
Rob Gronkowski, Patriots, 2010 (9.25)
Hunter Henry, Chargers, 2016 (9.02)
Chris Herndon, Jets, 2018 (8.96)
Heath Miller, Steelers, 2005 (8.83)
Aaron Hernandez, Patriots, 2010 (8.80)
Jordan Reed, Redskins, 2013 (8.46)
Zach Ertz, Eagles, 2013 (8.23)
George Kittle, 49ers, 2017 (8.17)

Herndon caught only five passes for 47 yards over his first five games. His Week 6 clash with the Colts, when he caught for 56 yards and his first career touchdown, was the point where he really began to take off.

Here’s a breakdown of Herndon’s production from Weeks 6-17, and his ranks among tight ends over that period:

34 receptions (13th)
455 yards (7th)
4 touchdowns (T-4th)
9.29 yards per target (2nd out of 18 tight ends with 40+ targets)
108.8 passer rating when targeted (4th of 18)

No tight end reached all five of those marks over that span, but George Kittle came the closest, falling short only slightly in the passer rating department.

SEA SBNation is hyping Jaron Brown quite a bit, seems every other day they are reporting how much bigger he is, etc.. its actually kind of annoying.

Miles Sanders will miss Mini Camp, an annoying start to his NFL career.

Perfect if you blew up your team to rebuild, took him for 2020, and still own your 2020 1st!
