I'm really confused by what people are seeing with him (outside of the obvious size). He had a thoroughly underwhelming Combine performance outside of a pretty good 40 time (small hands, poor vert, meh broad). He has some brilliant tape and some not so good tape and also comes with MAJOR red flags. What am I missing? I get that on paper, he looks awesome but I'm thoroughly underwhelmed with everything I've seen (outside of a few performances - ie Auburn). FYI, this isn't me calling him bad, I'm just not seeing the awe with this guy that mitigates his horrible red flags.
Which brings me to Darren Waller and Chris Conley. 2 guys who are big and more athletic than DGB, and come at a significantly lower price tag, without the MAJOR character red flags. For the DGB proponents, what stands out so much with him, more than these guys; that you'd be willing to spend the R1 pick, especially considering the red flags this guy has?
I really am positing this question out of curiosity. I'm really not trying to be abrasive. Trust me, I understand the appeal of a big athletic WR and desperately want RW to have this type of weapon.
