Yeah I thought they might go for a speed guy if they drafted a WR at all, to replace Meachem. Toon seems very comparable to Adrian Arrington, which makes you wonder a little why they needed another possession receiver, but what I like about Toon is he is a very polished route runner and though not fast, he runs a little better than Adrian. So it should be a healthy competition between those two.

Carmichael compared him a little to Colston, but I think that may be pushing it. Marques is the same general size as both Toon and Arrington, but he has a better knack at this time for getting open and is more physical, and does a better job at yards after catch. I still like the pick though.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

As stated in the comment above what's good about this pick is that Toon looks to be a more polished WR than Arrington etc

People said that Colston wasn't fast but he still burns people, I think that if the reports are true about this guy he will be contributing early, he may not be a burner but you can't have too many solid route runners with excellent hands, very good pick can't wait to see him play.

Sean Payton will be annoyed that he can't draw up plays to utilise his newest toy

Solid route runner with excellent hands, that description fits on a guy named Jerry Rice. Not saying Toon will be that good, just that speed isn't everything.
