INSIGHT

Denzel Boston Is A Red Zone X But Maybe Not A Shanahan Fit

  • Denzel Boston projects as an X-type red-zone and contested-catch target but may not fit Kyle Shanahan's offense.
  • Eric Crocker and Brian Peacock compare Boston to Tee Higgins/Pittman mold: strong but not necessarily Shanahan-compatible.
INSIGHT

Makai Lemon Projects As A Kyle Shanahan Type Receiver

  • Makai Lemon looks increasingly like a Shanahan-style receiver: tough, physical, good route work, and improved run-after-catch.
  • Eric Crocker highlights Lemon's catch technique, competitiveness, and pro-day 40 times between 4.4 and 4.5.
ADVICE

  • Don't reach for linemen unless the player deserves a first-round grade; wait for the right pick or trade for immediate starters.
  • Eric Crocker urges matching draft strategy to immediate roster timelines and coach buy-in.
