Think Latimer and Matthews are about the same in about every way.

Bowe ran a 4.40 at his Pro Day. Latimer put down a best 4.39 at his Pro Day after running a 4.44 on his first attempt. That's about as close as you can get.

There was some close competition on the 40 yd. Dash with Dwayne Bowe coming in at 4.40 with Craig Davis close behind with a 4.41 on his second run. Russell clocked in at 4.83, not too shabby for his size.
As I said, I think he's a poor man's Dwayne Bowe. That 4.39 (best case) doesn't translate to the field very well. He can't separate like Beckham or Moncrief. And he's not as good a receiver as Matthews, Norwood, Street, Robinson or the like.

If I'm taking a fast guy with size, I'd much rather have Moncrief way, way before Latimer and Bryant easily before him as well.

He got a third round grade by the NFL advisory board and was only Honorable Mention on the coaches team in his conference.

Dude is stiff. I think he's a #3 WR in the NFL due to his inability to separate and delays in getting into his breaks. Like I said, Indiana really only used him as an outside go and fade guy. He doesn't look like he's got the physical agility to maneuver against NFL level corners.

Matthews played in the SEC with a plethora of bad QBs and little else around him, and yet he tore it up against elite competition. I'm as high on Matthews as I am on any WR in this class not named Beckham Jr, Evans, or Watkins.

I'm going to agree with you, and then I'm going to take it a step further.

Matthews is the best WR in this class, and I'm going to laugh my ass off again this year when he proves it like Keenan Allen did a year ago. All because a bunch of idiots put far too much stock into him not blowing everyone's doors off at a ****in All-Star game.

I seem to remember Bowe running a 4.5?? Cody has pretty good hands. You say he can't get separation, but he put on a clinic vs Dennard.

Remember Cody did all his drills with a foot that hasn't recovered from injury.

BTW, I agree that Moncrief is the better prospect....but only just. I like Mathews but I don't think he's as good as the hype surrounding him.

4.51 at the combine, and 4.4 at LSU (fast track).
