Anybody got stats on this kid?

Shockey ain't gonna last forever. Thomas is versatile and Miller is solid, but neither will ever be elite. Maybe this kid could be, who knows.

Long snapper.

Looks like an excellent red zone threat... just looking at his measureables.

He joined the football team last August, and scored a touchdown on his first reception against Georgia Tech. He had a rough game the next week against Virginia Tech, with two important drops, but bounced back to finish the season strong. His 17 catches for 213 yards included five touchdowns, making him the sort of red-zone threat NFL teams covet at the tight end position.

First of all I threw my hands up over our picks as well. But, here is a prediction. We get ripped in the media for this draft as we get ripped so often. Yet within two seasons we end up praising two of our first three picks.

You know they're all doing Jeager bombs and laughing their asses off. WTF WTF WTF . WE NEED A DT AND OLB AND DE MAYBE NOT MORE F&*KIN OFFENSE.

Isn't that why we got Thomas though? I mean, with the exception of Poydra's CB call, we were all completely off the mark on these picks... Don't you guys agree?

Good call. I was thinking the same thing. 6' 6" and a 39-inch vertical and runs a 4.5 in the 40. Brees has loved his big targets in his career (i.e. Gates, Colston). Had only 17 catches last year, but five of them went for scores. He is just one more weapon to add to the arsenal.

Jimmy Graham, Miami
Height: 6-6. Weight: 262.
Projected 40 Time: 4.68.
Combine 40 Time: 4.56.
Benchx225: 15. Vertical: 38. Arm: 35.
Projected Round (2010): 2-3.
3/28/10: Looked great in the positional drills at his Pro Day. He could be taken in Round 2.

2/28/10: Jimmy Graham didn't disappoint in the 40 (4.56) and definitely looked like a natural tight end in the drills. Some team will take a chance on him in Rounds 3-4.

1/21/10: A forward on the Miami basketball team, Jimmy Graham is a project but has a ton of upside and athleticism. He caught 17 passes for 213 yards and five touchdowns in his only year playing football.

This is from Walter Football.
