He will be a late 2nd, 3rd rounder, IMO. I'd absolutely take a flier. He's got the fire in the gut. He doesn't take the bus.

Not sure how high he goes but yeah he's going to play in the NFL. He's just one of those guys who will do anything to help a team, he'll play ST, he'll play FB.
The other thing I think people miss on him is he's a REALLY good receiver, for a thick muscular guy he can really go up and snag the ball.

I’d trade down and take him later 3rd.

I don't think his skillset translates well to the NFL and don't think he'll go before the fourth round, if that early. He's a good college player, but strictly a college player.

This is such a meh record.

Looked a lot more comfortable, a lot smoother yesterday, albeit vs. a disheartened 49er secondary.
Did not meet the sky high expectations I had for him, but I think generally it was an okay rookie campaign.
Murray has a great connection with Big Play Trey. MHJ and Murray can build a great connection too. Just going to take some work.

4 of the top 10 receiving leaders this season were rookies. That is absolutely bonkers. It also blows a huge hole in the theory about recievers needing a year to acclimate to the NFL.
However, in Marvin's defense, those top 4 guys were #1 options in their offenses by the end of the year, while Marvin clearly was not. Taking everything into consideration, his stats really weren't that bad. They just weren't nearly as good as the top players in what looks like the best rookie receiving class in a long time. Potentially ever if they keep it up.

It's not even the stats for me it's all the plays he left on the field. Even in the SF game he had a jump ball in the endzone. That's a TD 9 of 10 for D Hop, 8 of 10 for Rob Moore, those are the 2 guys we were told he might be like big guys who can get the jump balls, but faster than either guy. I think he's about 3 out of 10 on those balls this year.
There was an absolute moron today saying rookies can't be expected to contribute. A DUCKING moron
Marvin had a good rookie year, by any traditional measure.
Nearly 900 yards and 8 TD's is a good year. He has some things to work on, but they are easily fixable things.
And while I don't think Petzing is to blame for the dink and dunk offense I do think he used Marv poorly to start the year.

Was it Bruce Arians? I know he had very little patience when it came to rookies. LOL

People need to recognize the difference between bad and disappointing.
So, instead of "Larry !! Larry !! Larry !!" will we be chanting "Charmin !! Charmin !! Charmin !!" ??

i have neither the skillz nor time to go look it up, but:
I am 100% certain there is a thead deep in the archives here on Fitz that probably sounds much the same as this one

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
A good distinction. The drafts haven't been "bad," with low bust rates, but they have been grossly disappointing. Same major holes year after year.

I think we're mostly just frustrated that Marvin isn't Larry. Larry's first career catch was a beautiful high point. We're used to guys like Larry or Hopkins who catch everything around them while Marv's game is more finesse. Marv is a bigger, slower, Hollywood brown.

Larry entered the league a year early age wise and wasn’t ready physically. He looked and moved different in year two. I kinda feel like Marv will be an adequate Robin to Trey’s Batman. Wilson entering year three needs to be a better Alfred.

I think many are forgetting that Larry didn't take the leap to elite status until Warner, Haley, etc challenged him to be great.

Pretty much what I remembered. Some great catches, and a whole bunch of did they not throw back shoulder at TOSU and how did he not catch that ball plays.
The other thing that strikes me is how many of those TD catches were balls in a a tight window, one of them the announcer literally says does ball placement get any better. With the exception of the 2nd one against the Rams virtually none of his TD's were wide open. Maybe the one against Detroit.
So you take the stats and extrapolate if he learns to get more separation, learns backshoulder and learns contested catches, can be so much better
