Arrington Steal of the Draft

QBREES9 · 04-30-2008, 09:58 PM

Is Arrington the new Colston ?

I don't know about anyone else but I can't wait to see this guy, man he can catch.

yea he has great hands.. i think he is better reciever then manningham who was possed to be one of the top recievers in this draft

I've seen some people say he will just be a camp body. That's incorrect. He will not only make the team which is stock full with Colston, Meachem, Patten, Henderson, Patten, Moore, Green, etc.. but he will play on Sundays.
I know he's being compared to Colston in terms of where he was picked (7th round) But I like to compare him to Colston bc he is a big receiver (6'3) and makes spectacular catches. He doesn't drop the ball. At times he was more consistent than Mario Manningham (whom I think is one of the best receivers in NCAA last yr)

I'm sooo excited we got another big possession wide receiver.. I hope now Bush can play in the slant more with Deuce & Thomas healthy in the back field.. This offseason has been much more impressive than last years. I'm pumped.

Imaginative pick. Worthy decision to try him out. You never know.
Could make special teams - can take and make a tackle.

We may have a very reasonable backup by mid-season

Colston, Mecheum, Patton

Adrian Arrington - Michigan, 6029,203, 4.55
Todd Blythe - Iowa St. 6'5, 214, 4.58

Henderson is safe due to his speed at WR. or is he?

3 rookies and 3 vets.

I like this grouping of WR.

Lets not get too carried away yet. Dude is a 7th round pick, and he has an uphill battle to make the team. The Saints are pretty loaded at WR so it's no gimme that he makes it. I do hope he makes it, because if he does that means he was better than someone on the current roster. It's a very nice thing to have big guys catching the ball. The big guys just get the first downs and continue drives. It's always nice to have a big WR who can catch a 7 yard pass on 3rd and 8 and just bull an extra yard to get a first down. It's going to be interesting to see what this guy has.
