Dareke Young headed to Vegas

This is why I want Branch in the draft. I knew we wouldn't be able to keep all of our WR's.

Branch? Meh. Great speed, questionable hands. Hard pass.

Every team has a Derek Young or two

It’s no big deal

Ive heard good things about him(as a wr) when he 1st got here. I waited , and waited.........

Loved Dareke's recovery of the muffed punt in the NFC championship game against the Rams. We'll treasure the memories, and good luck in Vegas.

I liked when he had a nice jumpball catch during the Bucs game.

Probably the highlight of his Seahawks career. Next man up.

So, from my own research I can't really see the whole "questionable hands" part. He seemed to be WR1 for the Bulldogs last season, I'm not sure he would be if he had questionable hands. The only downside that I can see from his game is his route tree isn't deep, but he can learn from Kupp and JSN all year about that.

Just basing it off of his time at USC, he did seem a little better at Georgia, and it's true that some receivers are able to demonstrably improve their catching ability. But he came in with huge potential as a recruit and really did not deliver on that hype.
