Pick 50: Elijah Arroyo

[Chapow]

Meh. Not a fan of this pick at all. Only one I haven’t liked. Career high 35 catches last year with #1 overall pick Cam Ward? Previous high is 5 catches lmao. This feels like a 4th round pick…

Unfortunately, I have to agree with this. All the potential, size, speed, and athleticism in the world doesn't mean much if you're constantly battling injuries.

Not a risk I would have taken in the 2nd round with some other really good options still available.

What's Fant got left on his deal?

 

[Appyhawk]

The number one center in the draft was on the board. This guy better be an impact, right away.

Wilson? He's on my list too, although I'm not a downer about Olu hanging in there.
Bech WR just went to the Raiders. Had him on my list too.

Not really feeling this one. Looks slow and lumbering. Hope he's an exceptional blocker.

 

[LeveeBreak]

Led all FBS TE's with 9.2 yd after the catch playing against some decent D's. TE threat is critical for this O. Pray the knee holds.

We are drafting huge dudes

 

[Seahawker]

Really don't like this pick, with such a nice trade up, it was our last chance to get D & OL. Knee injury history and one year of production. Hope for the best.

I just read he reached an in-game speed of 21.8mph at one point last season, which was the highest number hit by any TE in the college or the NFL last season. He can definitely move.

 

[MagnificentSeven]

Excellent size and speed, but went to the Jimmie Graham School of in-line blocking. 16.9 YPC is not too shabby. This is an upside pick.

Maybe they like him as WR.

 

[Seattle Person]

Big fan of Arroyo.

Legit speed. X-factor.

Maybe the number one center will still be in the board in the fifth round

Way too many $$

 

[irfuben32]

not loving it

but I will trust that this is what they needed

 

[Azvacar]

"Durability issues" and "battled a ton of injuries" makes me awfully nervous about this pick.

Did you actually read beyond that or? Missed 2 seasons due to a knee.. then played ALL games after recovery

 

[Azvacar]

Wow... not really feeling this one.

Third Ranked TE in the draft...... why are you not feeling it?

Don't just look at this year. He has missed many games throughout his college career.
