Id think the narrative of them taking a field stretching wr is accurate or at least it would make more sense. So if thats the case, Hou specifically prolly doesnt grab him. But there are teams in that range that may. IMO
I agree and based on mock drafts and team needs I'm not overly encouraged for these 3. I consider the Vikings, Rams, Texans and Bengals as teams most likely to take a WR and while I'm sure opinions will differ I don't view any of them as overly attractive.
No I don't see him being a top 10 WR but top 20 yes so he would be a high end WR2 that could end up a WR1 at the end of the year. He is probably one of the most consistent fantasy Wrs right now and i don't see Parker hurting that much, it would more be Parker who ends up either having a really good game or just having maybe a catch or two.
I think the wording there is screwy.

NFL draft scout lists Hopkins low time as 4.41 but lists his pro day same as combine which was around 4.57 and that's probably more accurate, for me anyway.
And Bo Jackson ran a 4.12. Have always thought 4.71 was a bunch of hooey, but the only thing I've ever found was this, from 49ers.com...
ETA: actually just Googled this specifically and found the article where Walsh says 4.59.
I don't think there is an automated clock stopping mechanism at pro days like there is at the combine, so his times will always be "unofficial".
They got #######g clocks with freaking laser beams! Hahaha.
So glad you didn't quote the rest of me saying that Treadwell is also slow very much UNLIKE Kevin White. I didn't watch Treadwell's 40 or pro day but I'll admit he does look good catching the ball. Maybe what you say about him running faster routes is true and he could very well prove the people that view him as slow wrong, but him putting up a horrendous 40 time at an event that is suppose to be tailor made to make him look good, has my eyes wide open to anything he does poorly.
Maybe what I say is true? It's not a maybe. It's a definite. It's on video. Those who don't like Treadwell will use the 40 for confirmation bias, while ignoring the thing that actually matters: what he does on the field. You don't get points for a fast 40 time.
How is it definite? Who are you comparing to? What is classified as a good time for those splits? It's on video that he plays football, the rest is conjecture and opinion based on what we see when we watch him. You have yet to prove that "it's definite" that he runs great routes and is truly fast doing so.
Name 40 Vert Broad
Laquon Treadwell 4.67 33 117
Fred Davis 4.68 33 116
Michael Clayton 4.67 32.5 116
Martellus Bennett 4.68 34 118
Charles Clay 4.73 33.5 118
Kelvin Benjamin 4.61 32.5 117
Owen Daniels 4.65 34.5 114
Jermaine Gresham 4.66 35 113
Gary Barnidge 4.61 31 117
Plaxico Burress 4.59 33 115
Dennis Pitta 4.68 34 113
Mario Manningham 4.59 32 117
Aaron Hernandez 4.64 33 113
Willie Snead 4.62 33.5 112
Anquan Boldin 4.72 33.5 114
Julius Thomas 4.64 35.5 111And the WRs in that group are different sizes. Plax was freaky tall, and Benjamin and Boldin are thicker.
