Tape Heads: Draft Season

Draft Season: Episode 3- Wide Receivers

In this episode of the Tape Heads: Draft Season podcast, hosts Bob Wischusen and Greg Cosell discuss the expectations of Wide Receivers at the Combine. Some coaches would love to see helmets and pads added to running routes and for time. Greg says teams look for vertical receivers, which doesn't come from being fast. Players have been more athletic and explosive with so many training advances, but that may not always transfer to football. Teams are putting together offenses that use WR's in several different ways, so the position needs to be more versatile than ever. We evaluate Garrett Wilson, Jameson Williams, Treylon Burks, Drake London, Chris Olave, George Pickens, Jahan Dotson, David Bell, Justyn Ross, and Khalil Shakir. Greg looks at the occasions when a Combine performance is disappointing and how teams can still see positives from a player. We wrap up with which NFL teams are in the market for these WR's.The Tape Heads Podcast is part of the NFL Podcast Network.

Tape Heads is a twice-weekly, in-season X-and-O podcast giving fans the “whys and hows” of each week’s NFL action.  
In each episode, Dan, Bob and Scott detail the biggest moments of the NFL weekend based on their study of All-22 coaching footage, aka “The Tape.” Conversations fueled by observation and analysis give fans the new insights and information they crave.
But its coverage extends beyond the surface of real time moments and extends into the living history of the National Football League. With diverse insights from former players and executives – who are also life-long fans and students of the game – Tape Heads also provides historical context for the topics of today, as well as an insider’s view of the current trends within the game.  
Each week, Tape Heads will look back on what we saw in the previous week’s games, and then look ahead to the next week’s matchups using the “tale of the tape” to predict the keys to victory.
