2nd Round - Randall Cobb
Conference: Southeastern
HT: 5-10.5
WT: 191
40 Time: 4.46
Biography: Full-time starter the past two seasons after seeing limited action with the first team as a freshman. All-Conference selection after his sophomore and junior campaigns and named an All-American in 2010. Receiving totals last season included 84/1017/7 when he also added 424 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. Averaged 7.8 yards on 28 punt returns with additional score as well as 23.7 yards on 41 kick returns. Sophomore totals included 39/447/4 receiving and 573/10 rushing. Averaged 12.8 yards on 44 punt returns with another score that season.
Positives: "Versatile skill player who positively affects the offense in a variety of ways. Shows terrific quickness, has a burst of speed, and is dynamic handling the ball. Fluid receiver who comes back to the pass out of breaks, easily adjusts to the errant throw, and possesses both soft and strong hands. Quickly transitions from making the catch to running after the reception, shows a burst of speed, and has the ability to create yardage in the open field. Quick footed and elusive, displays terrific explosiveness, and plays with intelligence. Effective running reverses, alters the momentum of games as a return specialist, and occasionally lined up behind center in wildcat formations."
Negatives: Not a true deep threat. Really cannot run to the long pass.
Analysis: Cobb has been tremendously productive on the college level since stepping onto the field as a freshman for Kentucky. He's a multipurpose offensive threat with the skills to be a second receiver and return man on the NFL level.
Projection: 2nd

Re: 2nd Round - Randall Cobb
I like it.
Sounds like he adds a new dimension to our offense. The type of guy you can throw WR screens to, motion him into the backfield, etc. and have him get easy yardage that way.
Isn't he a PR/KR too?

Re: 2nd Round - Randall Cobb
Cobb possesses rare competitiveness and great intangibles. Not afraid of contact, going over the middle, or pass blocking. Good short area speed, can press the line and get to the perimeter. Good route-runner and can get open against zone. Versatile - high school quarterback who played running back, receiver, returned kicks, and in the Wildcat in college.
Rare competitiveness? Great intangibles? Not afraid of contact? Doesn't mind going over the middle?
Donald Driver... Is that you?

Re: 2nd Round - Randall Cobb
from espns chat, not sure the source of this...
Pros: Fearless going over the middle and shows focus to hold onto to catch while absorbing a big hit. Fights for extra yards after contact. Tough for size and willing blocker at receiver. Observed pealing back and delivering crack back blocks on several occasions during film study. Excels at making plays in key situations.
Cons: Will have mental breakdowns on occasion and allow ball into frame which can result in drop pass. Usually reason for drops comes with him trying to do too much in an attempt to make something happen after the catch before securing the ball.

Hi, I'm Ted Thompson and I will single-handedly destroy the competitive nature of this league and make it a dictatorship.

Two picks that I absolutely love already.
We actually have a return man. I repeat -- WE ACTUALLY HAVE A RETURN MAN!

Re: 2nd Round - Randall Cobb
Just glancing over Cobb's college stats, and one thing that jumps out is he had 0 fumbles in 3 seasons at Kentucky.
