So do you consider Anquan Boldin a possession receiver? Jarrett is far more polished than Boldin coming out of college and ran the same time as him also.

I wouldn't mind either Jarrett or Ginn here. Look at Jarrett's production at USC... how could anyone complain about picking him? I think that's crazy. Williams and Jarrett are not in the same mold. I hate it when people compare the two just because they went to USC. Williams was a BIG BIG receiver... more of the possession type. Jarrett is a playmaker who isn't at big and has much more agility. Remember some people had Williams as a WR/TE because of his size... the same cannot be said of Jarrett. If you watch USC football since the Pete Carroll era, you would know... they are NOT the same player. Go by what you see, not by what you hear.

i don't want guinn...i watched a lot of OSU games this year and that kid has a serious case of the "droppsies."

he is a burner, but he already have one burner with bad hands(henderson) we don't need another one.

jarret would be a good #2 reciever that would get a chance to prove himself when colston is getting doubled.

Come on guy, I don't care whether he and Williams are really that compatable, but 4.69 won't run away from anyone in the NFL. In comparison, Colston ran something similar. Colston, while great, is not a down the field threat. Occasionally he did break a long one, but it was the exception and not the rule. When you say, "believe what you see" I agree. I watched Chris Houston OWN Jarrett and bury him on the line of scrimmage, play in and play out. Yeah, Jarrett owned Hall, but Hall has been falling down most boards as well. Dwayne Jarrett is a possession guy. Don't care what he did in college and that's what he'll be in the pros. He won't be the playmaker you think in the NFL. He'll be better than Williams, I'll give you that, but that's not saying much. It is very similar to when Spurrier was at Florida. Every year his QB's and WR's were OVERHYPED because of his system. Few, if any, did diddly in the pros. Same with SC and their WR's. Name me one WR from SC in the Carroll era that has lived up to the hype? Colbert had one decent year in Carolina and has since, disappered off the face of the earth. I'll pass on Jarrett thank you.

So once again, do you consider Anquan Boldin a gamebreaker or a possession receiver? And remember, Boldin ran in the 4.6s also... and he runs away from PLENTY of corners. Saying Jarrett cannot do the same has no merit.

Jarrett tall and lanky... Williams tall and bulky. I'm sure you've noticed that. As far as watching Houston shut down Jarrett... he did the same to Bowe and many other SEC WR's? Does that mean Bowe/Meachem are overhyped and overrated? Maybe Houston is just a really good corner. Did you ever think about that?

Keyshawn Johnson and Keary Colbert was not hyped up coming out of college. So, I don't know what point you were trying to make bring up his name.

And lastly, we're talking about the #27 pick the draft and selecting Jarrett. You might not like him, but considering him there and calling him overhyped or not worth the pick is ludacris.

I recall that Jarrett was hurt during the game against Arkansas and they mainly lined him up as a decoy. Could be wrong on that, though.

Nonetheless, he ate up Leon Hall and spit him out for lunch when they played Michigan, and Hall ran a 4.39 forty. Watch that game again and tell me which of the two looked faster. He might not have the best forty yard dash, but he's fast enough in pads and more importantly, he's a good football player. If we're talking receiver at 27, he's the guy I'd most want to see in black and gold.

My whole point on Jarrett, is the hands. This guy makes outstanding catches, in critical situations. Now I'm sorry, but that has nothing to do with the system your in. The ability to make one handed, leaping catches, when the ball is overthrown, is unique, to the player alone, not the system he plays in. Out of the two, mark my words, jarrett will be more of a play maker than Bowe. I believe what I see, and I have seen nothing but amazing catches from Jarrett. Great blocking as well.

Lazy? lack of speed? Doesn't run good routes?

Did anyone see the Rose Bowl??????

He TORCHED a very good Michigan defense for 205 yards and 2 scores

Last year he 70 catches in 10 games

Hell, he caught 91 when REGGIE and LenDale White were still there.

Just take him

Hate to say this missile, but looks like you are all alone on this one. I have to say, being that I started the post, if Jarrett is there at 27, we should take him. But who knows, the draft NEVER seems to go the way they predict it to anymore. He could be gone by 15, who knows. But if the choice comes down to Jarrett, or Peterson at 27, I say take the WR. We don't need another RB.
