Official Josh Doctson - WR - Redskins (1 Viewer)

Pro Football Focus sees TCU WR Josh Doctson as the No. 2 receiver in the class.
The outlet ranks Doctson over Laquon Treadwell. Like us, they see Corey Coleman as the No. 1 receiver in the class. The site liked seeing Doctson's better-than-expected 4.50 showing in the 40-yard dash at the Combine. "A big target at 6-2, he had a vertical leap of 41 inches in Indianapolis, showcasing the leaping ability that saw him go up and win the ball time and time again," Gordon McGuiness wrote. "He dropped just six of the 84 catchable passes thrown his way in 2015, and has shown himself capable of making circus catches in his time at TCU."

Could he still be there for the Vikings at 23?

Absolutely. Minny actually seems to be a pretty popular landing spot for him in many mock drafts. He did kind of close the gap with Treadwell at the combine though, so it's possible that the Rams or Lions take him as the 1st WR off the board. 

 
I have the 1.04.  Hoping the teams ahead of me fall in love with Elliot / Henry.

If I can't get him, I'm going to trade down.

 

pretty good watch ... Little stuff like this moves players up my draft board when I'm torn. 

Ive also got the 1.02

Was always thinking Treadwell, but Doctson is closing the gap. 

 
I like him a lot. Could end up taking him in one league with pick 4 even though I don't need wr's. Will not reach for a running back which I need over a talent like him. Don't draft until August so lots of time for things to become clearer among all rookies. I like him over Treadwell. To each their own.

 
Scout Inc.'s Nathan Forster noted that the four worst wideouts drafted in the first round from 1996-2013 declared for the draft after their senior seasons.
Football Outsider's Playmaker Score is pessimistic about TCU WR Josh Doctson in part because he stuck in college that extra year. They rank him as their No. 4 WR in this draft class and project him to average 474 yards per season through his first five years in the pros. While it's interesting that senior receivers have flamed out in the past, it's difficult to chalk that up to anything more than small sample size. As Forster himself notes, the majority of players entering the draft are underclassman. Most other national outlets are a bit higher on Doctson, with Pro Football Focus ranking him as the No. 2 WR in this draft and ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. positively gushing over his Combine results.

No offense Faust, but this isn't news.  This is just a scout being way off on his assessment.

Doctson is the truth. He reminds me of Hopkins, can't miss based on the tape.

 
Feels like the draft community is collectively coming around on him.  

I really wonder if Treadwell could be leapfrogged by Doctson and Coleman.  

 
I haven't been in this thread for two weeks but that's like 3 months in Doctson years.

I can see the top 3 WRs going in any order based on landing spot.

 
I also decided what was going on in this thread after a couple weeks, jd went from undraftable to the best wr in the class. 

I've read on these boards that white would be the 1st wr off the board this year if he were in this class- but if he did, he would be 24. He's basically a 24 yr old rookie, but no one is using that to knock kevin white.

For fantasy purposes, i dont really mind him being an older rookie

 
One scout tells NJ.com's Mark Eckel to not be surprised if TCU WR Josh Doctson is selected before Ole Miss' Laquon Treadwell.
The scout adds Doctson was already a first round talent before the NFL Combine, but posting the top receiver workout helped him "move up a few spots." We love Doctson's game. And Treadwell's game. And Corey Coleman's and Michael Thomas'. Doctson has outstanding body control to contort his frame and bring in contested or off target catches. We think his routes, in terms of footwork and separation, are better than some might suggest.

In fairness people were questioning Kevin White's age last year too and saying he was too old.  Still not proven if he can hang in the league yet but it was a question of his.  But people were knocking him on his age a year ago.

 
And with Treadwell's slow 40, it becomes even more possible that Doctson is the first WR taken. I just hope he doesn't end up with the Rams.

 
Corey Coleman is Jeremiah's (and Brooks?) number one. 

I think Doctson's landing spot can't hurt him. There's definitely spots that would help him but I don't think anywhere would really hurt him. If Doctson can continue to win jump balls that means bad/young QBs will throw at him more because he can bail them out and they don't need to be accurate. The only type of QB that would be bad is a check down Charlie with a good D. But even then Doctson is a "vertical" threat because an underthrown deep ball to stretch the defense and could still win. 

I've been so high on Doctson for long enough now that I'm starting to doubt myself. The counter hype is he's old, skinny, not a blazer and bad against press. Also, there's no way he'll be able to do what he did, when the ball is in the air, against college corners to NFL corners, right?

 
TCU Pro Day is ongoing. We'll see if I'm smart enough to post tweets here (the first two are probably my favorite)...

Edit: Clearly not smart enough to embed them. Any help to do so would be appreciated.

Other items of note: Vikings, Rams, Texans, Cowboys, Browns, Dolphins, Bengals, Seahawks, Jets, Pats, Falcons, Lions, Raiders, Bears, Eagles, and the Packers are all in attendance.

Trevone Boykin is running drills both as a QB and a WR. Boykin laced a pretty nice deep ball to Doctson (I think I linked it above), and followed it up with an 80 yard bomb.

Aaron Green (RB) has his 40 times ranging from mid 4.4s to 4.56, so who really knows. 10'8" broad jump though, which would have placed him 3rd among Running backs at the combine.

One more edit: The TCU pro-day is just a pretty cool thing, in my opinion. Ladanian Tomlinson, Andy Dalton, Jerry Hughes, Jason Verrett, Marcus Cannon, Matthew Tucker, etc., all made the trip back and are there for the pro-day today, and it's pretty cool to see them all back in one place, having a good time. The TCU Spring Game is tomorrow, so I'll be keeping my eyes out for some of those guys on the sidelines.

NFL Media senior analyst Gil Brandt believes that TCU WR Josh Doctson "has a chance to be a first-round pick [following his Pro Day on Thursday]."
We will quibble slightly with Brandt on a semantic level here. The analyst sees Doctson's Pro Day as having boosted him closer to the first round, but he was likely already a legitimate prospect in that conversation even before Pro Day festivities. He did drop one pass during positional workouts. Otherwise, smooth sailing. Of late, the 6-foot-2, 202-pounder has drawn legitimate talk of jumping long-presumed No. 1 receiver Laquon Treadwell, with one AFC scout praising his ability to haul in the 50/50 balls and another telling NJ.com's Mark Eckel that nobody should be surprised if Doctson adds "draft leapfrogging" to his resume of impressive skills come April 28.

ESPN's Kevin Weidl believes TCU WR Josh Doctson is a perfect fit for the Vikings.
So do we. The Vikes swung and missed on Mike Wallace last year and sent him to the gallows soon after Blair Walsh shanked his chip shot in the playoffs. That leaves Stefon Diggs as Minnesota's only reliable outside option at the moment. "Insert Doctson, who has the size (6-2, 202), leaping ability (40-inch vertical jump) and is one the best at tracking and high-pointing the ball in this year's WR class," Weidl wrote. "Doctson would be the best red zone target Bridgewater has had outside the hashes."

An anonymous NFL scout told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that TCU WR Josh Doctson is "very similar to [Laquon] Treadwell" but added "Treadwell's probably a little bit stronger and more physical."

We'd add that Doctson is a step or two faster than Treadwell and far superior down the field. "Very polished route runner," the scout said of Doctson. "Very good hands. Vertical guy. Tracks the ball well." CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora is on record predicting that Doctson will be the first receiver taken. "Great kid," said another scout. "Quiet, smart, reserved. Never have an issue." Doctson tied for the best receiver vertical jump (41 inches) and had the best broad jump (10-11) of the upper-tier WRs. "First round," said a third scout. "Everybody was questioning his 40 time but he ran (fast) at the combine. That puts him in there automatically. He's got great hands."

Redskins selected TCU WR Josh Doctson with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2016 draft.
Doctson (6'2/202) needed only three seasons at TCU to set school records in career receiving yards (2,785) and receiving TDs (29), averaging 15.5 yards per catch. Doctson ran 4.5-flat at the Combine with explosive vertical (41") and broad (10'11") jumps. The lone drawback on Doctson's profile is his age, turning 24 late in his rookie year. Docston is an elite athlete with plus size, a consistent winner in the contested-catch game, and one of the top vertical wideouts in this year's draft. He's drawn comparisons ranging from DeAndre Hopkins to Allen Robinson.
