oldschooler Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Jordan Shipley ([color="#364c88"]WR[/color]) [list][*]Height:5'11"[*]Weight:193 lbs.[*]Arm Length:30 1/2 in.[*]Hand Size:9 5/8 in.[*]College:[color="#364c88"]Texas[/color][*]Conference:[color="#364c88"]Big 12[/color][/list][img]http://static.nfl.com/static/site/img/teams/CIN/CIN_logo-50x50.gif[/img] Selected by: [color="#364c88"]Cincinnati Bengals[/color] Round: [color="#364c88"]3[/color] Pick (Overall): [color="#364c88"]20 (84)[/color] [color="#cc0000"]Discuss[/color] [img]http://static.nfl.com/static/site/img/draft/2010/text-combine-stats.png[/img] [color="#364c88"]Bench Press[/color] 16.0 reps[list=1][*]OVERVIEW[*][color="#013369"]ANALYSIS[/color][*][color="#013369"]WATCH[/color][/list] [b]Overview[/b] Shipley has been a productive receiver at one of the top programs in the country for the past two years. He had some durability issues early in his career with hamstring pulls and a shoulder injury but has not missed any games in the last three years. He is explosive off the line and runs extremely crisp routes that allow him to separate from defenders with a good short burst. He is a natural when it comes to adjusting to off-target throws and will go over the middle to catch the ball in traffic. If he had better top end speed he would be pretty much the total package. [b]Strengths[/b] Shipley has enough size for the next level. He's an athletic player with really quick feet, which he uses to get open underneath and make plays after the catch. Possesses elite ball skills. Consistently catches the ball away from his body, will adjust to the bad pass, and is willing to go over the middle. Is a heady route runner and gets open against zone coverage. Extremely competitive. [b]Weaknesses[/b] Shipley lacks premier top end speed, doesn't have a ton of experience going deep and won't really scare too many NFL DB's as a vertical threat. Durability is potentially a concern. Suffered serious hamstring injury early in career and other minor ailments. [b]Grade[/b] 7.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him to come in and compete immediatley for the slot job. If we can finally block with 5 guys (come on Andre!) this offense is gonna thrash next year.

bengalsdave985 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Kind a wish it was mardy but Shipley is a great guy to have in the slot and you have to stay true to your board. He runs exceptional routes and I see him being that underneath guy that TJ was. He also is a very good punt returner and we can all say good bye to Quan.

[/quote] Yes, he is. You won't find many OU fans (including myself) who won't tell you that he turned the tide in the '08 OU/TX game when he housed one on us when OU was threatening to blow it open early. This guy just has that hard to describe "it" that you see from a winner & I'm flat out giddy that we took him (even though he tortured me for 4 years).

|Bengal Migration| Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 3 new WRs and a shiny new TE in the mix. Carson and Brat have a lot of new toys to play with. Time for the cream to rise @ WR. Caldwell needs to step up his game, and Simpson needs to find his. In a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Shipley is much better WR prospect, Gilyard gives you more explosion on special teams. I'm serious when I say Shipley will remind you of Wes Welker.

sois Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 His skillset is Houshmandzadeh-ish. We got a White Housh. I absolutely love this pick. For all of you that are saying he is Welkerish.... no. You are racist. When I look at Shipley I see Housh. Gilyard is more Welkery than Shipley. I AM SO HAPPY1!!!!!!!

Since 87 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I see him a lot like Wes Welker. Or maybe more like Kevin Walter. No how about Brandon Stokley with a little bit of Ed McCaffery thrown in. All of their games look the same to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Isnt he a kick returner? I imagine they will use him that way instead of a punt returner, since they took Caldwell off those duties, which means to me they want to involve B. Scott more on the O.
