We've already got Jarvis Landry on this team. A bigger version of Jarvis Landry actually. He's called Junior Hemmingway.
There is absolutely nobody on this team who can just bust off a line.
Jenkins and Avery are fast. They aren't receivers though.
Bowe is molasses. Hemmingway is like a '71 Cadillac El Dorado with a V16. He'll get moving, but it takes time to get there.
Moncrief absolutely explodes off the line, blows through press coverage and separates with the ball in his hands.
Yeah, he's a bit of a body catcher. But, I'll tell you the truth, when you are 6'2", 230 lb. and can run a 4.40 40 with a 40" vertical and legs like tree trunks enabling you to power through shitty little defensive backs, I'm not really all that concerned with the body catch. If he makes the catch, he makes the catch, and Moncrief has made a lot of catches over his career.
Once you get into the 20's in the first round, I think he's a steal. When you look at his college production and his measurable, he's an absolute monster. He's just not a combine freak, he's a very solid receiver.
He's a fast Andre Johnson. A fast and good route running Dwayne Bowe.
He's on that level at the same stage. No shit.
