STRENGTHS
Dylan is an acrobatic, pass catching, monster of a receiver. He has excellent
hands to catch the ball with excellent eye/hand coordination. Dylan doesn’t have
to get open, to be open. He uses his body to gain separation and inside the red
zone this kid is a touchdown making machine. Dylan is t type o receiver that
when everyone in the stadium knows he is going to get the ball, he still finds a
way to catch the pass and make whatever yards are needed to move the chains. He
will adjust to the ball in the air and has the biggest catch radius high and low
that I have seen in a long time. You’re looking at a clone of Anquan Boldin with
better speed and quickness. Dylan is committed to being the best receiver from
this draft class and something tells me that given some time that he just might
be.
CONCERNS
Dylan ran his 20-yard shuttle in one of the best times at the combine but
because he is so big on film he doesn’t look that quick. He will have to learn
to run better routes but that won’t be a problem, this kid never stops working
to be the best he can be and loves to play the game.
BOTTOM LINE
I will never understand how a player like this gets overlooked all because he
might not run a 4.30 in the forty. Dylan is 6’5” 226 lbs runs a 4.50 and his CPM
score is 89% and he catches everything thrown to him and BLOCKS for his
teammates. For an NFL team full of scouts, spending millions of dollars, to rate
Dylan low in this draft is just proof of how poor some teams are in evaluating
players. I mean seriously… he is one of the best at catching the ball, getting
open, making yards after the catch and most important for a receiver…CATCHING
THE DAM BALL. Dylan has such great mental fortitude to succeed that if he fell
on the ground he would still catch the ball with his feet. His ability to adjust
to the ball in the air and make an acrobatic catch is similar to the Giants
Odell Beckham’s only Dylan is not as fast or quick as Odell but he is bigger and
has the same inner fire that burns to be the best. When the ball is in the air
Dylan is all over it. Throw it low and he goes down and gets it, throw it high
and Dylan will sky high in the air like a volcanic eruption to catch the ball.
Dylan has all of the talent required for the NFL but for some reason he will not
be selected early in this draft so look at Rob’s board and pray your team
selects him at some point in this draft.
