Focusing on his drops, the former Bucs coach feels that Breshad isn't quite near the cream of the crop in this class.
In case you can't access the link, here is Perriman's portion
Breshad Perriman, WR, Central Florida
If I'm a coach, do I want Perriman? Certainly. Do I want Sammie Coates? Yes. But they need to work on catching the football and their route running because it's far too inconsistent. That is why I don't have them in the first round.
Mel Kiper had Perriman at No. 10 in one of his mocks, and that was just too high for me because Perriman dropped so many balls. He ran a sub-4.3, which is hard to do. But the No. 1 thing you have to be able to do as a receiver is catch the ball reliably. And the one thing I can't understand with Perriman is you have all this talent, and I have plenty of tape where he is making circus catches, but there are way too many drops. These balls are easy catches.
Some of the passes were not on target, but you have to be a bad-ball receiver. I put on the tape and saw a scramble throw that Perriman should catch for a touchdown that he drops off his hands in the end zone. I've got 14 drops for him. No one is perfect, but if people are going to talk about you as a potential top-10 pick, the catching has to be more consistent.
