The Bills and the Ravens are the betting favorites to land DeAndre Hopkins but RandyMueller_ sees a couple of other landing spots that really make sense. Those two spots: 🦁 Lions 🐬 Dolphins Analyzing the fit:
Hopkins has missed 14 games the past two years and participated in less than 50 percent of the offensive snaps for Arizona in that time. Prior to getting injured, Beckham had more explosiveness, more top-end speed and a greater ability to separate from tight coverage. Hopkins and Beckham are different in style and substance, but my guess is the contract that Hopkins is seeking will be similar to Beckham’s deal with Baltimore. Time will tell if he gets it.
That being said, here is what I saw on tape and what NFL general managers and other team-building decision-makers around the league will consider: Hopkins’ strengths are his size, ability to read defenses, catch radius and ability to “catch when covered.” He sees and runs to open areas versus zones and is still effective on underneath routes, where he is easy to locate for a quarterback in the pocket.
Unfortunately, Hopkins often is covered, does not stretch the field with his speed and struggles to separate versus tight man coverage. He is still a good route runner who has the body control to get in and out of breaks, but he is more nifty than sudden. I think Hopkins is still a good player, but he’s just not special. And to that end, potential teams will study the same tape, and the need that he can fill is going to vary from team to team.
and the Ravens are the betting favorites, but I see a couple of other landing spots that really make sense.
