What are your thoughts on this WR

From Lsu and compared to Bowe. Are his intangibles like Bowe? Height a concern?

I drafted him in the mock draft and I wrote extensively about him.

Quote:

Doucet is a smart and resilient WR who's savvy makes up for any lack of elite size or speed. He has fantastic concentration and great hands, he can make the catch in traffic, and the game is never too big for him. I've said thsi before in this thread, but he is a Wes Welker clone if ever there was one, and the Bucs would be wise to use him that way. Doucet will have trouble getting open if he's manned down by a solid NFL corner, but in short-to-midrange routes he can smoke LBs and become a potential Pro Bowl underneathe receiver, and he can realize his potential very quickly.
Quote:

Doucet didn't exactly light it up too much after his injury in what was supposed to be his coming out year this year. He missed nearly five games due to injury and was a shell of himself when he returned -- I think he returned too soon, perhaps he's supercompetitive or perhaps he wanted to remain a potential 1st rounder.

Doucet is not the most impressive guy size-wise, and he's not the most impressive guy speed-wise, but he's a clutch receiver. He's got amazing concentration, although he'll drop from time to time. He's unshakable when the pressure builds, which bodes well for a smooth transition to the NFL. He's also pretty darn versatile, he can be a downfield threat but he's happy to be a down and dirty guy, willing to go over the middle, underneathe as a Welker-like checkdown (where I think he'd be really effective), and block.

Now like I said, he isn't a physical freak and he's struggled in the wake of his injury, but I love the head he has on his shoulders. His ability to respond to pressure and make up for his physical shortcomings proves he's got a great head on his shoulders.

He's scared a lot of folks due to a poor senior season, so he might actually drop to the third round in the actual Draft (but be sure, he's not going to drop past me in this Draft). But I think he's too mentally resilient to stay down for long.
Quote:

I think he has a future being a Wes Welker-type underneathe, midrange WR. That way the coverage he faces won't be as tight and it will usually be with LBs rather than NFL corners. He's going to have very dependable hands in that situation and he'll only get stronger as the season winds down and the games get bigger.

Example how how I believe Doucet would be best used:

I think he's a middle-of-the-2nd guy.
