#132 - Kealoha Pilares, WR, Hawaii

Had no idea who he was when we drafted him, but I do like the pick. He has a strong lower body from what it looks like and doesn't go down that easy. Its way to early to compare him to Stevie who is a monster (despite his shitty year last year).

I figured we would get someone in the mold of Austin Pettis, Tandon Doss or Hankerson, even though we already got Lafell and Gettis. Like the little guy though.

Hopefully this doesn't go the way of Armanti or Ryne Robinson.

 

Can't wait to see a Pilares smoke route. The more I see the more I like. Just like every player we draft every year.

 

Seems to get caught from behind in a few of those videos, so his speed is probably average by NFL standards.

 

Top speed is decent, not great. He got caught by Colorado's Jimmy Smith but walked away from 37 in USCs secondary.

Most impressive is his short area quickness and cutting ability. Plus he's instinctive. Like in this one...

He looked like he got tweaked on the play.
He might run a little like Smith but very few have his apparent passion.

 

Not really a home run threat. Drive DC's crazy underneath, though. Move the chains...need that. Could be an alternate for returning punts.
