Will Fuller - Texans 1st round pick, 21st overall

keep him away from the jamaican green mohn and strong should have a breakout year.

 

Where does that leave Braxton Miller?

 

May have gotten a steal here.

He scares defenses

 

3rd receiver and "edge"position

 

Braxton is going to light people up from the slot.

Fuller is a homerun hitter. Going to have bad plays but big ones as well. Won't surprise me to see him off the field in the red zone a lot

 

Gets great separation off the line with his strength, quickness, and speed.

Was great seeing his hands-y catch on the TD fade. #smallhands

Pressing Fuller is a risky proposition.

If you jam him, that's great, but you've got to recover with your feet, and quickly, or else he's gone. If you miss him, you're screwed.

I wouldn't doubt if the coaches have told him to just run a go route when someone slides over top of him and tries to press. It's going to be hard for 90% of corners to do.

 

He's looked better than all the other receivers drafted around his spot and making the impact of a top 10 selection.

700 yards with 7tds and opening a lot of space for the running game and hopkins is very doable for this rookie.

 

Yeah, I can see Jalen Strong coming in for him when the field starts to get shallow.

 

Picked him up in my fantasy draft as a WR2 in a 12 team league. Good move?

 

Texans may come out of this draft with 2 of the top 5 out of the class.

They nailed this draft.

 

This could be the defining draft of the O'Brien era.

 

I think you could have gotten him as a third or fourth.

Saying that, I took him in a 10 man as bench depth.

I am going to wait a few weeks before I put him in, but Osweiler has good chemistry with Will.

 

He also blew a catch because of his hands.

I don't get why people have to be so defensive. He does have small hands and he does have problems catching with his hands. That doesn't mean he can't be a good player. His deep ball tracking looks VERY good and he is going to kill people off the line.

 

Yeah it's pretty odd that any valid criticism is met with such ridiculousness. As you said, Fuller showed his strengths and what he needs to work on yesterday. Overall he adds a monster deep threat even if he has trouble catching the ball. Teams simply have to respect that and give safety help over the top.

 

The reason why Fuller is looked at so closely is because #DraftTwitter hated him due to some drops and his small hands.

What they seemed to ignore was the elite deep speed and his underrated hand fighting ability.

 

It mostly comes from the fact that the Texans were ripped for taking Fuller over Doctson or Treadwell... Basically, taking a WR that wasn't worthy of that spot, specially when better receivers were still on the board. The drop here or there doesn't matter when he can dominate in other areas of the game.

 

What those didn't note or realize is that Doctson/Treadwell both possess many of the traits that Hopkins possesses (Doctson a little more explosive than Treadwell). Fuller just fits perfectly.

 

Not sure how you perceived my post as "anti-Fuller", but glad you got that out.

Says the guy who makes the most ridiculous statements when he argues.

There was nothing ridiculous about what I said.
