He is quicker than Jimmy in shuttle and 3-cone and Jimmy is only 2 tenths of a second faster in the 40...

2 tenths like the difference between a 4.33 and 4.53? Or is it closer to 3 tenths? Jimmy was running LB speed, and faster than many of the LB.

Either way I like the look of the kid. I hope he works put. He is definitely going to be a redzone weapon. Not sure you trade 4 picks, but sure we can pretend that's good, I guess.

Well, maybe we can send Warford for a Day 3 pick?

Still have SMU's James Proche (comparable Lance Moore), Wash St's Dezmon Patton (c. to Colston), Tulane's Darnell Mooney, Boise St's John Hightower (c. Meachem)...

I will say this though... Deepest WR draft ever and we didn’t get a single one?!

I dont understand Payton sometimes, we've needed to draft some receivers for years and he just ignores it year after year.

Last year he drafted like 5 safeties instead of grabbing a WR and then cut like 3 of them.

So we gave up the rest of the draft to get this guy? Wow. Talk about pressure. Poor kid. I hope he doesn't suck.

Hope he's worth five picks

Well if he lines up on the same side as Peat he can probably help him up after he gets knocked off his feet

He'll line up next to RT Ryan Ramczyk more often than not...

Sucks, that's one possible usage down the drain
