On Jarvis Landry

### ESPN’s Todd McShay rated him 48[SUP]th[/SUP] overall: “He is pound for pound the toughest, most physical skill player in this draft. He’s not that big. He doesn’t run very fast. But he belongs in the first two rounds because he has the best ball skills. He catches everything. He will run down and cover kicks. He will knock linebackers out on crack backs. I love this pick. He isn't an explosive vertical or run-after-catch threat, but he is a tough, physical competitor who does all the little things right. Landry uses quickness and savvy to separate from coverage.”

### NFL Network's Mike Mayock: “I had 10 favorite players in the NFL Draft. This is one of them. When you put the tape to watch [LSU first-round receiver] Odell Beckham play you can’t tell which one is Beckham [and which is Landry]. Landry ran a 4.7, and it dropped him down a little bit. I love the opportunity he’s going to have in Miami. He’s the toughest wide receiver – physically toughest wide receiver in this draft.”
### ESPN’s Mel Kiper: “Huge hands. He’s the hardest worker on that football team. He’ll be a slot receiver."
### ESPN’s Trent Dilfer compared him with Anquan Boldin, but without the size.

On Billy Turner

### Tony Pauline: Positives: "Four-year starter named to numerous all-America teams since his junior season. Athletic, college left tackle who projects to the right side or guard in the NFL. Blocks with good knee bend and tremendous leverage and strong at the point of attack. Gets movement run blocking and annihilates opposing defensive lineman. Plays with a nasty attitude and works blocks. Sees the blitz and gets a pad on opponents to disrupt them from their angle of attack. Keeps his feet and hands active throughout the play, quick off the snap, and makes outstanding use of blocking angles. Easily gets out to the second level

Overall I thought it was a good and active day for Hickey and the Fins .It seems Hickey heard our complaints about not trading out of the first pick and he had a busy day today moving up and down accumulating Day 3 picks in the process.

From the sounds of that write up, it sounds like Landry may be a good red zone threat. One thing our offense is missing is a clutch guy who knows where the marker is, and can get to it and make the grab. Hopefully landry can be that guy.
