"Definitely, the go route was my go-to because it worked a lot, so why run anything else?"
Meanwhile, in the Metcalf thread, people are up in arms over the idea of Metcalf running go routes only.
JJAW is less interest to me at this point... unless I'm looking at him at pick 13 and decide hes BPA

Ya I was disapponted he DNP. I thought I heard him say he DNP because of a health issue on Moving the Chains. I wasn’t paying close attention so I may be confusing him for another player they interviewed. It was very surprising he DNP because he stood out as a great competitior at Stanford.

I am still searching for his three cone and short shuttle times. The Stanford Football twitter account stated that there were impressive times posted in the 40 yard dash and in the 3 cone drill today, but it wasn’t clear exactly which player they were referencing for the 3 cone drill.
Arcegatron is one of the nicknames given to JJ Arcega-Whiteside.

I was confused about that too. They give some jump numbers but nothing on the 3 cone even though it is mentioned in the title.
Did a search and couldn't find anything with 3 cone times from the pro day either.
Jordy Nelson was a comp I liked for him. Similar size, speed and body control. In fact, Green Bay at #30 would probably be a perfect landing spot too.
Arcega-Whiteside has been my 2nd or 3rd WR, I go back and forth or him and AJ Brown, throughout the offseason. I think Brown has a higher ceiling, but JJAW has a higher floor, arguably the highest floor of anyone at the position in this draft, other than maybe Isabella.

Too early. He could honestly be had for a 2nd or 3rd IMO... to many over rated wrs ahead of him right now

So any over rated WRs who will possibly above him in the NFL and rookie drafts. I wouldnt burn a 1st on him right now considering the 1sts I own but it's possible of he lands somewhere favorable...
Hes a huge bargain for someone picking high round 2. I can see a team taking Jacobs or AJ Brown and then getting JJAW round 2... talk about a stellar draft.
my concerns are that he has an under developed route tree it seems. He doesnt wow me. But considering the 2nd round wrs last year... I'd take JJAW any day

Not seeing it with this guy.
For all the talk of Metcalf's immobility, crickets with JJAW. And he doesnt even have so much going for him.

Faust was linking these pff profiles that covered each rookie. On them they would have some metric the guy they liked scored well in- explosive plays, contested catches, etc. with a top 5 guys listed as a graphic. JJaw was on an enormous number of these lists, so I kind of perked up to him. I’m on board. I think there are a good handful of wr prospects that will get shuffled around after the draft- something to like, something to dislike, where they go will be key.

JJAW is a guy who could seriously climb the draft board depending on his landing spot.
Yes, same could be said by a bunch of these guys but I think there is a unique situation with a few of these low round 1/high round 2 "tweeners." One or more of these guys could creep up to pick 5 or so. I could see some even climbing to 1.1 if the team is right.
I'm back and forth on him. There are some things I like some I dont. I will probably pass unless my pick 14 target is gone.

I tend to agree with you. He isnt even running routes a lot of the time, just run to the defender and box him out.
He is good at that but it's not like he is going against Xavier Rhodes or something.
He will need to do more than that to be successful in the NFL.
Others really seem to like him which makes me wonder what I'm missing?

Makes me wonder what they're missing lol.
You're exactly right about the boxing out thing. What else does he do?

Right now he looks like a total bum to me. If he goes early to a primo spot I'll definitely reconsider, but I don't see anything interesting here.
He has the best body control of anyone in the class, and he's the best contested catch WR.
He gets separation, doesn't drop passes, and he also runs very good routes. The boxing out thing is what stands out on the highlight reel, because its so unique to him, but its far from all he does.
The only weakness I see in his game, is he's nothing special after the catch, but that is no big deal, because he's very special before it.
