Andre Roberts WR citadel

 

[Shzm13]

Andre Roberts:

Strengths:
Smooth and athletic --- Adequate height --- Reliable hands --- Quick and agile with a burst --- Elusive --- Runs good routes and knows how to get open --- Can do a lot of damage after the catch --- Tough and is not afraid to go over the middle --- Durable --- Also a very good return man --- Nice career production --- Excellent work ethic --- Team leader.

Weaknesses:
Needs to bulk up --- Isn't very strong --- Just average speed --- Might have trouble getting separation ---Not really a vertical threat --- Plays too high at times --- Has trouble high-pointing the ball --- Gives good effort but an average blocker --- Did not play against elite competition.

Notes:
Was a three-year starter for the Bulldogs --- An FCS (Division I-AA) All-American --- Named 1st Team All-Southern Conference as both a wide receiver and return specialist in 2008 and 2009 --- Elected a team captain as a junior and senior --- Finished his career 2nd in SoCon history in both catches and receiving yards --- Averaged 14.0 yards on 83 attempts with 3 touchdowns as a punt returner during his college career --- Nice blend of physical tools and top-notch intangibles --- May be best suited to play in the slot --- A small school gem with NFL talent.

Christopher Harris - ESPN.com Fantasy: Andre Roberts goes to Arizona -- awesome pick. *He* could be Mike Wallace.

WR Andre Roberts
• Ht.: 5-11 Wt. 195:
• School: The Citadel

• Hometown: Columbia, S.C.
• Key statistic: Ranks second all-time in Southern Conference in career catches (285) and receiving yards (3,743).
• Why he can make the jump: Teams were very encouraged by what they saw at Senior Bowl and combine. Quick-footed, precise route-runner is an excellent student of the game. His 1,160 career punt return yards for the Bulldogs attest to his elusiveness in that role.
• Why he can't: Lack of height a huge negative. Must prove durability. Doesn't have blazing speed to represent a downfield threat. May struggle to handle press coverage at the line of scrimmage.

From 60 Minutes?

Possibly. Though im gonna guess WR Steelers as my second option

 

[NeverSayDieFan]

Worth the gamble...

Our punt return game is nothing special. I can see the logic.

 

[Dr. Jones]

San Fran takes N. Bowman. Good pick.

 

[slanidrac16]

Head scratcher IMO

Do yourself a favor and go to youtube. He will get you excited. He's Hester like. Has speed like Chris Johnson. We will not be sorry with this pick!

 

[PJ1]

Niners get Bowman. Would rather of had him. Damn........

 

[Shzm13]

Novarro Bowman to whiners

 

[slinslin]

He just seems like a reach especially with Campbell, Graham and Sapp on the board.

 

[D-Dogg]

I dislike short receivers, BUT, he is an ideal punt returner. And, I think he will run a lot of the short ins and slants out of a slot role, simply to get the ball in his hands. I don't see him as a downfield threat, but he can bring some of what we lost in Boldin back...the outlet over the middle with good run-after-the-catch ability.

A nice little release valve for Matt. Interesting to see this kid in camp, personally.

Guys i had us taking this guy in my mock draft but hoped he would last into the 6th for us to pick him there. I REALLY like the kid but he is no third rounder. He is like Breaston he just does not drop the ball. He is a deep threat as well mad speed and he is is also excellent in terms of RAC for a fairly small guy. I love us taking him but im a tad worried about taking him before defense.

Positive: We got ourselves one of the top 5 WR in this draft IMHO.
