Neither does Jerry Rice.
Torry Holt.
Marvin Harrison.

Don't get too caught up in measurables.


I'm certainly not saying Avant is the next Rice.
But he could very well be the next Deion Branch.
He has plenty of speed.

Yes, and those guys had to establish those things in the NFL. He is what he is in the draft, and that is a medium-speed, slightly above average wide out. He has (by far) the most average body type of all prospective wide receivers, and very few of that build ever see consistent success. It is usually the exceptions that break through.

Avant could be good, but if a guy with better measurables and speed is on the board, you take what you've got in front of you.

Samarzja is like Witten and Key combined, sorta like a novecek but at receiver, I see him as a TE in the pros. If we could wait for him, I would prefer him over stovall.

Ashwynn... Samardzija isnt coming out this year. And no gaurantee he will play football. He is Notre Dame's top pitcher as well. (Dallas will obviously covet him). But he is not tight end material. This is a wide reciever all the way,not an nfl tight end.

He is a good player......

Stovall took advantage of Samarja's attention. Stovall is not that great seemed a little soft to me and dropped alot of balls. Samarja should stick with baseball if he is smart he is a better baseball player.

Avant does not have the HANDS of Rice, Harrison, or Holt. To put Avants name anywhere where near those guys' is irresponsible. lol

You would have said the exact same thing about Anquan Boldin.
