The best slot receiver in the draft. He's definitely a "Y"; Cruz will be the "X" and Odell will be the"Y".
Comparisons of Shepard align with a combo Julian Edelman and Victor Cruz. Shepard has really quick feet, change directions on a dime, can leap into orbit (41"), and has sure hands.
Where yesterday I thought Apple was taken a little higher than he should have been, today we got a WR who I thought very likely may have gone in round 1. This is a solid pick and yesterday's wasn't bad either.
does anyone believe that? If so, I am amazed to get him here.
I could believe it. Colemans route running was a concern and Treadwell just isn't dynamic. After that there's pros and cons to every other player as well.
RE: Ross says that Shepard was the #1 recevier in the whole draft
forcing teams to bring guys up closer to the line. Then blasting them for deep hits with OBJ on double moves. Eli's stats will improve even more this season.
and with Harris as the #4WR, that's a pretty damn good WR corp.
My take is this pick ADDS to the value of Cruz.
Optimistically we all hope Victor comes back healthy and is able to contribute, but realistically we also know he won't be the Victor of a few years ago.
In a 3 WR set with OBJ and Shepard, Cruz should be able to clean up. Clearly he won't draw the opposition's best CB.
This may be a unique combination, and Eli's dream; 3 great route runners, with the football smarts to be in the right place at the right time, all with decent hands, paired with an intellectual QB. It's like Peyton with 3 Marvin Harrisons. (OK I exaggerate but you get the point.)
On taking slot CB in 1st and slot WR in 2nd, Marc Ross says of NFL, "It's basketball on grass. Guys are throwing the ball."

A redeemer for JR after Rd #1.
You view him as a bonus. This kid will be a handful to deal with for defenses. Strong pick
Ben McAdoo says he can envision Beckham, Cruz and Shepard
IT JUST MOVED!!!
"multiple diagnosed concussions on his medical report"
Thank you for posting. Love this kid.
For our system with his route running ability , body control and compete level? He may not be far off.

Docston was/is the best WR. Shepard is an electric talent who will bring a lot of value to the offense and potentially the return game
He could be. There's no clear cut No. 1.

Agree with this. I'd have Doctson #1, then its close with Shepard right in there.

I think Ross is on grass myself.

"multiple diagnosed concussions on his medical report"
where'd you see this?
Sterling Shepard says he watched film of Odell Beckham Jr. every week. Patterns his game after him #Giants
Jim Ross Retweeted Matt Fane
..smart..reliable..tough..blocks..returns punts..baller..all American receiver..captain..steal of draft @sterl_shep3
Sterling Shepard says his interaction with the #Giants were limited. Filled out a questionaire. That's about it.
Can't fill every need in one pick
Shepard: "I'm definitely one of those guys that can be bounced around." Says he's motivated to prove he is more than a slot WR.
This OLine was part of a top 10 offense..
YES
Oh, please...Giants O was pretty dynamic last year and it just got better.

Nah, we're doomed because Dallas drafted a LB who might play in 2017...
Will you ever make an informed post?
His height doesn't matter. He's a small player, that plays bigger than his height. He had the intangibles.
Well said Joey!
