DRAFT 2024 2nd Round Pick - WR Ja'Lynn Polk

condon84 · Apr 26, 2024

Another WR who's strength is catching contested balls against Pac-12 cornerbacks. It worked out for us with NKeal.

Nice list buy also a very short one

I wasn't pulling it as a complete list from anywhere. Those were just four guys that have had recent success that I thought of that I thought, "I bet that guy didn't run very fast at the combine" and a google search confirmed it for me, haha. They were examples, not exhaustive.

Crap, I hate this pick. Two round reach and he's a slow contested catch specialist (i.e. N'Keal Harry)

So, people are basing their thoughts on Polk based on his 40 yard dash, but the guy had 69 catches, over 1000 yards receiving and 9 TD catches. Yeah he’s good at contested catches, but he also gets separation and is open all the time.

Here’s the 40 time of some the slowest NFL receivers

Cooper Kupp 4.62

Davante Adams 4.56

Keenan Allen 4.56

Diontae Johnson 4.53

Amon-Ra St Brown 4.51

Michael Pittman 4.52

Jakobi Meyers 4.63

Mike Evans 4.53

Ceedee Lamb 4.50

Mike Williams 4.53

We would take any of those guys. In fact, Polk reminds me A LOT of young Kennan Allen. 40 time isn’t the be all/end all for WR’s. Polk is a player, or as Maye calls him, a stud.

I watched Washington a lot last year. He’s a good WR. Penix depended on him a lot. He’s going to be an excellent receiver for Maye to grow with.

Nah there are many more. Would take some time to compile.

NFL Network breakdown is, he can win jump balls, doesn’t get separation and isn’t a good rout runner. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Against Pac-12 secondaries too

I don’t know **** about this guy

No worries. 95% of the board doesn’t know **** about Polk. They just read the scouting reports..

Were on the same wavelength lol because i was compiling a list too for my own knowledge. Add devante adams 4.56, mike evans 4.53, pittman equal 4.52, keenan allen 4.72 (?!)

It was raining that day.

Wow, that broad jump result was impressive. Was enamored with Keon Coleman’s because it measures power and explosion. Polks is even better. i’ve seen nice reviews on Polk’s hands which is a plus.

rabidfireweasel · Apr 26, 2024

if you haven’t heard of him- it doesn’t mean he isn’t good- it just means you are that you are not even a casual college football fan. He put up over 1150 yards on a team that played in the national championship game.

It looks like he actually knows how to play the position

Interesting stuff: Ja'Lynn Polk had an unofficial RAS score of 9.11 so he might be more athletic than you think.

View attachment 57803

Here's a scouting report that projects Polk as an X receiver and a top-75 prospect: 2024 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Ja'Lynn Polk

Notice the section that says "No agility testing ......". A RAS score comparison, when the player skipped the Short Shuttle and 3 Cone to improve his score, is basically garbage.

Lazar not impressed, says he went too early.
