Is Ricky Pearsall a TOP-5 receiver in the 2024 NFL Draft? | Florida WR Scouting Report & Film
Спорт
The draft stock of Ricky Pearsall has been rising a lot over the past few weeks after he performed very well at the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine, but where does that leave his stock ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft? Is he actually worthy of being a first-round pick, or is he getting overrated in the mainstream consensus right now?
Today, we'll be attempting to answer that question by diving into his tape to determine the strengths and weaknesses of his game! Stick around for the end when I give my final grade and overall thoughts about him!

Do some research. His first year at Florida his QB was Anthony Richardson. AR was not an accurate passer. Last year Graham Mertz was much more accurate and Ricky’s numbers went up. But don’t eat the facts get in the way of your narrative. Ricky is a baller.
Is he a 1st rounder? Thats debatable...is he a good fit for the 49ers? With his skill set, yes...his route running with Shanahan's ability to scheme players wide open with pre-snap motions and player placement sets him up for success...he did most of his work in the intermediate game something thats the 49ers bread and butter...to put it plainly the guy looks like a 49ers receiver...he actually reminds me of BA when he came out of Arizona athletic route runner and dude dont drop passes
bang on with your grade! and good assessment, as a niners fan this pick actually is making a lot of sense given the early run on tackles
@jasoneng3161
Ай бұрын
Exactly! It makes no sense to take a project tackle prospect that won’t be able to contribute in the first year. Might as well draft a player you like a ton even if it’s a bit early. I’m interested why they chose him over cooper desean,or kool aid, but I have faith they have a plan to address those positions later in the draft. Excited for this guy, hopefully he’s good for us
Thank you for your honest assessment. It's good to see that you also point out the negatives. I hope my fellow 49ers fans also look forward to what he can contribute.
Don’t mind me just a 9ers fan doing my scouting reporting.

Your doing better then they did
Pearsall's Relative Athletic Score (9.91) is better than Tyreek Hill, DK Metcalf, Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, Ceedee Lamb, Brandon Aiyuk. The only Pro Bowl WR ive found with a better RAS was Calvin Johnson 9.99/10. To day Brian Thomas has better upside than an elite athlete like this is absolutely ridiculous
@FallBallSports
Ай бұрын
If you use RAS as the sole measurement of upside, then you'd have to say that Tez Walker has the 3rd highest ceiling in the class. Or you'd have to say that Pearsall has more upside than anybody not named Calvin Johnson, which is just stupid
Utah Alumn. Saw Pearsall a ton both at Florida and ASU. Dude balls out. I will follow him in the Pros. Underrated. Limited by QB play in college. Jayden Daniels didnt know how to get him the ball.
As a 49ers fan watching this video who didn't like the pick, here is one thing I'll say in his favor: if Brock Purdy has taught me anything, it's taught me to always be aware of how a guy was used in college and how things that he might do well won't show up on his college tape simply because he wasn't asked to do that.

He is going to be good for us: Ready to play, good route runner, smart, and he'll be 29 when his rookie contract comes off. If he does well, then we can see about Deebo and Aiyuk next summer when it's time to pay brock. Solid pick, I know we needed OL and Guard, but at the end of the round, this is good value. And then we stole the C from Michigan!

@@SuperSupersoda But, but, the decision making is probably similar to what I said. I see no issues. There were other teams who wanted receivers after the niners, and only a couple guys who would be good talent in positions of need. Let's not act as if they were picking at 15. This was the second to last first round pick. Yeah, I liked Cool Aid, or De Jean a bit more. But I think that's marginal talent. Could they have tried to move up and pick a good OL prospect? perhaps they tried and the trade was not there. I see a solid draft overall, given that we were picking late in every round.

@@Recontramojado This is simple resource allocation logic: Pearshall is your #4 WR next season, and the 49ers never run 4 WR formations, and rarely run 3 WR formations, which is why as good as Juwan Jennings has been, he has so much trouble getting on the field. A #4 WR won't see the field, it's not in the nature of the Shanahan zone-running scheme, which relies heavily on a TE and a FB on the field for every play. Meanwhile, the single weakest starter on the entire team is Jake Brendel, the center, and there were two super blue chippers at center, either of whom would have been a massive week 1 upgrade over Brendel, sitting on the board and available. You took Pearshall, a guy who will never play due to the design of the offense, over two centers who will play week 1 and who will be big upgrades for you. The resource allocation makes NO sense, it's terrible. Pearshall may be great, doesn't matter if the offensive play design means he never sees the field. Nothing about Kyle Shanahan indicates he's changing his offensive play designs and philosophy for a rookie. Meanwhile, you had two blue chip prospects available, either of whom would upgrade your biggest weakness. That is roster construction and resource allocation malpractice. It's objectively terrible draft strategy and decision making. Would you spend a first round pick on a kicker? Because I'm going to tell you, a #4 WR in the Shanahan scheme will not see the field anywhere near as often as the kicker will.

@@SuperSupersoda Yeah, but you are ignoring the fact that BA or Deebo could be out (even jennings tender does not ensure he'll be back). I agree, Center and Right Guard were a priority, but still, I don't see it as dramatic, and I think Pearsall will play, either running sweeps, in returns, etc. I do agree there is an opportunity cost, but still. Not that dramatic.
Well, you called the draft status right on! #31 to the Niners, and the 6th WR taken. Now hopefully the rest of your positive predictions can come true as well. :) Also, go Sun Devils! 🔱 (even transferred ones)

Shanahan scheme is the best scheme to develop players
Whenever I saw Florida play, he stood out to me.
One thing I will disagree with is the point you made about his age being a negative. I believe that with a year or two of NFL training/ reps he will only continue to get better. I think the best is yet to come with this kid. Especially at 24.
Wow, you called it! Late 1st round. Nice 👍🏻
Top 6! Dead on! All the evaluations+/- are just what the team that picked him saw.
It's good to see a good WR catches a bad pass.
Remind me of Julio jones but also like dk metcalf in his run after catch

Apparently nobody realizes how much of an athletic freak Ricky is. Lol by the RAS/ Relative Athletic Score (pound for pound) standards he's more athletic than Tyreek Hill and DK Metcalf and every other pro bowl NFL WR currently in the league.
I think he's slotted right in most ranking. Ricky is a late 2nd to mid 3rd. He has more than 3 drop passes. He doesn't have break away speed. Besides that one handed catch his tape doesn't wow me.
