Title: Is Lockett the real deal?
Post by: DQ12 on April 18, 2012, 11:13:02 PM
I love the guy.  He put up great numbers.  He's very fast, a great route runner, and he's a freshman, so he's only going to get better.

BUT it felt like every play he made last year I said to myself "Wow!  I didn't expect that."  Can we start regularly expecting Lockett to be a playmaker?  Last year, everything he did seemed (to me, at least) as a pleasant surprise - icing on the cake.  Moving forward, though, as the sun sets on the Harper era, is Lockett going to mature into the kind of electric playmaker that most are expecting him to be?  Not just "a nice addition," but the heart of our receiving corp?

I didn't really that there was a "Harper era."  I mean, he's sexy and all, but not sure if he qualifies for the "era" tag.  :ck:

You know what I mean, Sam S...Harper is our best target this year, just like he was last year.

My question is, is Lockett ever going to be that guy?  I know he's a slot, but will he ever be our main target?  And if he is, is that a good thing?

I think he is more Aaron than Kevin.  Good speed, will stretch the field, but not so much a possesion guy.  Aaron benefitted greatly from Quincy when he was there and I think finding a possesion guy who can go over the middle will be a huge boost for Tyler as well.

That said, having a legit deep threat is huge for us and key for Snyder's O.

Good points, but I think the thing that is different is that he doesn't just rely on speed. He's a great route runner, maybe the best on the team. Thompson is a really good route runner too though. Harper isn't bad, but he doesn't have the quickness to accelerate through breaks like Lockett or Thompson. Harper is going to rely on his size more which Thompson and Lockett obviously don't have.

I think Harper will be ok in that role this year.  Hopefully we have someone who can step up the next two and we don't see the decline in production that we saw in Aaron.

Let's let a HIQWR guy such as myself give some analysis:

1. TT- by far our best WR. Route running, pure hands and speed combo
2. TTannahill- you'll blast me for this, but TTahill is really good in the open field
3. Clark- when Clark gets here, it'll be hard for Harper to get the snaps he's earned. Clark is the real deal holyfield
4. Lockett- he has a knack for finding the open spots just like his Dad did. But he's not a gamer like his dad was. He is a great route runner, has good speed, but below average hands. He had several drops last year that came at key moments.
5. Sexton- Curry's pretty darned good.
6. Harper- Slow (horseshit 40 time in the offseason), bad route runner. terrible hands. But he's big and has a knack to make big plays.
7. Toe Miller- Toe makes for a great 3rd or backside reciever. He's big and runs a decent route. Showed good hands last year and will only continue to  learn and get better.

No, lockett is not a gamer. What you don't know about Lefty is that he got his user name when he had the exact same thing happen to him in a jr. high game. But Tom then went to the side line and said, "I got two, cut the bad one out and put me back in, coach." Tom became Lefty, and everyone in Jewell, KS now all reminisce about how Lefty is a true gamer.

I probably misspoke about lockett not being a gamer. He's a playmaker for sure and came up huge in a few plays last year. But his Dad was the ultimate playmaker and in my opinion best wide receiver we've ever had. Tyler's really good, but he was no where near where his dad was as a true freshman. He's still young and will only get better.

You are about 1 for 7 in your list. 

1. TT is not our best wr.  He is not fast at all especially for his size.  He does run good routes and has good hands.
2.  Not sure how to respond to this.  Tannahill has great hands but is slow slow slow like 5.1 forty slow.  He can make a catch or two but he is not great in the open field.
3.  I hope Clark is good and gets on the field but if he does he will not be taking snaps from Harper. 
4.  I think the kid is a gamer and he has hands.  He was just a true frosh last year his dad redshirted so I don't think comparisons are fair.  Also hid dad had chad may throwing to him.   His dad was very good I think Tyler could actually be better but he won't match his numbers.
5.  Sexton is ok for a 4th receiver.
6.  Harper is not slow and does not run horeshit 40 times.  His hands do pretty well suck though.
7.  Toe isn't in the top four right now so I don't think he really makes for a great third wr.  I like this kid but he has zero burst to him.  You watch him and he just doesn't have it and it is not something you can really develop.  Looks the part but He will always be a fourth or fifth wr kind of a guy.

-Harper got shut down against other teams' #1 corners. It was only when he was our backside receiver when he finally made a play or two. When TThompson emerged near the middle of the year, other teams had began to switch the focus on him instead of Harper.

-Lockett's good and was a very pleasant surprise. I was simply stating that he's got a long way to go to be as good as his dad was. Kevin Lockett didn't redshirt and had an amazing year as a true fresh. He made circus catch after circus catch and was a complete badass.

-Tannahill although a huge douchey type of individual, is very good. Sucks to say it, but he's good.

3. Clark- when Clark gets here, it'll be hard for Harper to get the snaps he's earned. Clark is the real deal holyfield
4. Lockett- he has a knack for finding the open spots just like his Dad did. But he's not a gamer like his dad was. He is a great route runner, has good speed, but below average hands. He had several drops last year that came at key moments.
5. Sexton- Curry's pretty darned good.

6. Harper- Slow (horseshit 40 time in the offseason), bad route runner. terrible hands. But he's big and has a knack to make big plays.
7. Toe Miller- Toe makes for a great 3rd or backside reciever. He's big and runs a decent route. Showed good hands last year and will only continue to  learn and get betters.


You are about 1 for 7 in your list. 

1. TT is not our best wr.  He is not fast at all especially for his size.  He does run good routes and has good hands.
2.  Not sure how to respond to this.  Tannahill has great hands but is slow slow slow like 5.1 forty slow.  He can make a catch or two but he is not great in the open field.
3.  I hope Clark is good and gets on the field but if he does he will not be taking snaps from Harper. 
4.  I think the kid is a gamer and he has hands.  He was just a true frosh last year his dad redshirted so I don't think comparisons are fair.  Also hid dad had chad may throwing to him.   His dad was very good I think Tyler could actually be better but he won't match his numbers.
5.  Sexton is ok for a 4th receiver.
6.  Harper is not slow and does not run horeshit 40 times.  His hands do pretty well suck though.
7.  Toe isn't in the top four right now so I don't think he really makes for a great third wr.  I like this kid but he has zero burst to him.  You watch him and he just doesn't have it and it is not something you can really develop.  Looks the part but He will always be a fourth or fifth wr kind of a guy.

-Harper got shut down against other teams' #1 corners. It was only when he was our backside receiver when he finally made a play or two. When TThompson emerged near the middle of the year, other teams had began to switch the focus on him instead of Harper.

-Lockett's good and was a very pleasant surprise. I was simply stating that he's got a long way to go to be as good as his dad was. Kevin Lockett didn't redshirt and had an amazing year as a true fresh. He made circus catch after circus catch and was a complete badass.

-Tannahill although a huge douchey type of individual, is very good. Sucks to say it, but he's good.

do you really think sexton is better than harper. like if we could only have one next year you'd really pick sexton?

I don't get the harper thing.  Against A&M, against OSU, against UT, he made plays, IIRC against their best corners.  and IIRC, they were all one on one coverage because they were stupid enough to think that they could leave their best corner one on one with chris.

harper does have a tendancy to to be lazy with his hands and with his routes, but he does damage.

our WR corp, with a healthy lockett, is extremely balanced.  almost perfectly balanced.  each provides what the other(s) can't .

Kevin Lockett redshirted it isn't hard to look up.   Not sure where your T Thompson stuff comes from.  He emerged from the bench last year because brod was getting high and Sheldon smith got hurt.  He did some good things but he was never the focus of other teams or our best wr.  Harper and Lockett are going to be our two best receivers this year as they were last year when both were healthy.  Tannahill made 10 catches last year I guess your definition of very good is different then mine.  He is not even our most talented TE though Snyder seems to trust him more then he trusts McDonald.

Post by: ChiComCat on April 22, 2012, 09:11:36 AM
IMO, Harper getting shut down had more to do with Klein's inadequacies as a passer than him not getting open.  Against good corners, you're rarely going to get 3 steps which is what Klein wanted.  Tyler is a lot more like his uncle than his dad

NFL.com's Bryan Fischer believes Kansas State senior WR Tyler Lockett is one of the top returning seniors in the Big 12.

"Easily one of the best receivers in the conference, if not the country, Lockett was one of the few bright spots on Kansas State's team as they took a step back from 2012's championship run. He's a great return man and is a threat to score every time he touches the ball," wrote Fischer. Lockett had a solid outing for the Wildcats in 2013 with 81 catches for 1,262 yards and 11 TDs.

3. Clark- when Clark gets here, it'll be hard for Harper to get the snaps he's earned. Clark is the real deal holyfield

lockett is fast and runs routes that made at least 3 nfl corners look very stupid last year. he doesn't look like baylor's guys and doesn't have their ability to get a 50/50 ball, but he gets open and that's 90% of what matters. he is going to be terrific again this year.

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler believes Kansas State senior WR Tyler Lockett is "arguably the top wideout in the conference."

"Arguably the top wideout in the conference, Lockett doesn't look like much, but he runs like the wind with sudden footwork in his breaks to create separation before, during and after the catch," Brugler wrote. The Kansas State prospect is dangerous in space, and has the ability to stretch the field vertically, while taking the top off a defense. Although Lockett doesn't possess ideal NFL size, he makes up for it with speed and precise route running. Lockett had 81 receptions for 1,262 yards and 11 TDs for the Wildcats in 2013.

To add to this after I posted. I know he was a scat back in college, but he was drafted to return kicks and catch/ try to run balls in specific plays.  Lockett is actually good at being a receiver, and as good at returning kicks as mccluster was.

Yes and McCluster was a bad pick.  Lockett has only decent hands, good not great speed, and is like 5'9" or 5'10", he's not a first rounder, great college player, not very physically talented which is a requirement of a first rounder.

Ryan Broyles went in the 2nd out of OU coming off an ACL tear and I would imagine Lockett goes in a similar spot.  There is almost no chance of him going in the 1st unless he runs a 4.3 at the combine.

I'm not saying he'll be a first rounder,  but if he goes in the sixth round,  that's ridiculous.  He burned and embarrassed every highly rated or drafted corner he faced.  Also is one of the best return men available next year. His value is more than at receiver.

What are you basing his not great speed on,  what you think, or his ability to get behind every defense he faced?

I'm basing it on the fact that NFL corners are going to be 30x tougher than the ones he faces now.  He probably runs a low to mid 4.4 40 which is not great for his size.  He didn't get behind them with speed, he got behind them with excellent route running, if he improves his hands, I think he could be a 2nd rounder.  Great college players aren't always great NFL players.

he's a 2nd rounder. needs to catch it a little more consistently this year. but his route running is elite. keenan allen doesn't have great size or speed either and he just roasted the nfl as a rookie.

Keenan Allen is 6'2".
Also has much better hands and is stronger in general.

6'2" with a 4.7 40. but he's fast in his routes and out of his breaks. like lockett. lockett will probably run a high 4.4 or 4.5. but it's his speed in and out of his breaks that makes him a very good prospect. he can get open in the slot all day long in the nfl. odell beckham only measured 5'11" and 198 lb's at the combine and was the 12th pick of the draft..

Keenan Allen was injured at the time he ran a 4.7 fwiw.  ODB has elite hands, route running, and speed.  He's also probably an inch or two taller than Lockett.

yeah. and if he'd been healthy, he would have run a 4.5 or 4.6. the point is, his route running is what makes him special. there have been bigger and faster wr's who couldn't dream of having 1000 yd seasons. odb ran a 4.4. the knocks on him were that he "lacks elite speed and has inconsistent hands." lockett isn't quite the prospect that odb is, but he's not far behind.

I definitely think he could be a 2nd rounder, but I think overall he needs to improve his hands and strength.  As of now, I think he's more likely to go in the 3 to 5 range.  There is not only one aspect of KA's game that makes him special, he has great hands and size/strength too.

He'll get drafted and that's all that matters in my book.  :cyclist:

He's a second round talent at worst.
No he's not, he's probably somewhere in the 2nd to 5th round range as of now.  Stevesie is right.

The chiefs drafted mccluster in  the 2nd round, and he wasn't even a good receiver. 

Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

To add to this after I posted. I know he was a scat back in college, but he was drafted to return kicks and catch/ try to run balls in specific plays.  Lockett is actually good at being a receiver, and as good at returning kicks as mccluster was.

Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
Yes and McCluster was a bad pick.  Lockett has only decent hands, good not great speed, and is like 5'9" or 5'10", he's not a first rounder, great college player, not very physically talented which is a requirement of a first rounder.

he's listed at 5'-11" which means he's over 5'-10". As far as physicality goes you're dead wrong. Tyler is a fantastic blocker and you need to watch film of him against Verrett. Watch film against Texas and see how he creates space (Texas DB's constantly asking for offensive P.I.). Watch how Michigan played him, they were afraid of him creating space with his hands/arms and they found out how quick/goo of a route runner he is. Taylor tried to jam him and was left complaining about pushing off. So if you're saying he's not a freakish athlete like Dez or Calvin, I'll agree with you. But, Tyler is pretty physically gifted/tough especially for his size.

I think late first round is his ceiling. Most likely a 2nd rounder. He's not going change a teams offense. But, for an above average QB is probably one hell of an up grade over the long term at the #2 - #4 WR spot.

Kansas State senior WR Tyler Lockett caught six passes for 136 yards in the school's 32-28 win over Iowa State.

Lockett started off slow, but came down with a perfectly timed contested catch late in this game. The lean receiver will mostly play the "small" game in the NFL, but the more contested catches he puts on tape the better.

Kansas State senior WR Tyler Lockett will "create a buzz in war rooms around the league after putting on a spectacular showing on special teams against Auburn," according to NFL.com's Bucky Brooks.

"There is always a spot in the NFL for a dynamic returner with big play ability," Brooks wrote. Lockett is certainly that. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Lockett averaged 23.7 yards per return across three attempts Thursday night. "While NFL scouts will question his size and durability based on his slender frame, Lockett shows enough toughness as a returner to silence the skeptics concerned about his ability to survive and thrive in the league as a specialist," Brooks wrote. "As far as his chances of cracking a lineup as a wide receiver, I believe he's a natural fit as a No. 3 wide receiver at the next level. He is a polished route runner with a knack for getting open on short and intermediate routes against 'off' coverage. He needs to continue to work on winning against rugged defenders using physical tactics at the line, but he's slippery and flashes enough quickness to separate from defenders out of breaks."

Kansas State senior WR Tyler Lockett vindicated his detractors by struggling on Thursday against Auburn, writes TFY Draft Insider's Tony Pauline.

"There’s a wide variety of opinion on Lockett’s next level ability but his performance against Auburn had detractors saying 'I told you so,'" Pauline wrote. "The speedy wide out dropped two passes in the first quarter of his teams loss to the Tigers, including one which slipped through his hands in the end zone. Dropped passes and poor pass catching technique is nothing new for Lockett. On film he’s body catcher who seemingly needs to grasp the ball against his frame to secure the reception. This leads to drops, double catches and a lot of missed opportunity. He’s the type of player who’ll wow coaches with big plays from the line of scrimmage or long kick returns then at the same time break hearts with his inability to cleanly catch the ball." There are two ways to look at the performance, and NFL.com's Bucky Brooks wrote the other one last week, noting that Lockett created "buzz in war rooms" with his special teams play versus the Tigers.

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler notes that Kansas State senior WR Tyler Lockett "small catching radius and history of drops is not a good combination for a target of his size."

"He runs like the wind with the lighting quick feet to create separation and create, but a small catching radius and history of drops is not a good combination for a target of his size," Brugler wrote. During the game last week against Auburn, Lockett was wide open as he ran an inside route down by the goal line and had a ball bounce off his hands that ended up in an Auburn defenders hands. Brugler adds that the Kansas State prospect "had a few other drops in the game, which has been a pattern over his career with his smaller hands and tendency to run before securing the ball."

"Kansas State's all-time leading receiver, Lockett has the frame that will turn off NFL teams, but his production, quickness and savvy ability to create before and after the catch remind some of Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y.

Brugler notes that the 5-foot-11, 175-pound Lockett "has the athleticism and toughness for the NFL, but he's also an above average route runner, showing subtle movements to set up defenders and get open."

Lockett's second touchdown was a give away, but he displayed the ability to win in contested situations despite possessing a smaller frame. Golden Tate is a great receiver, but Lockett has similar traits in a few areas. We would not say he IS Tate so much as it might be his absolute ceiling. Lockett added another 41 yard punt return.

They're raffling off some things the Royals donated. Raffle tickets are $5 and can be purchased online. This really is for a good cause. My bud's wife had a stroke at age 25 and they have given their lives to help others recover.

Items include:
Gordon signed bat
Salvy signed jersey
Yordano signed ball
Framed pic of the K World Series
Framed pic of Gold Glove winners
Framed Moose "the catch" pic

ALSO:
KSU football signed by all 3 locketts

Support it if you'd like, perhaps you'll win. You don't have to attend the raffle.
