I was thinking more about Terrell, Avant, Walker, Alexander, Howard, or Streets. Edwards is turning out pretty nice, and Carter was a diamond for a 12th round draft pick, but the misses in round 1-4 are pretty bad for michigans top receivers.

He's been on the field the past couple of weeks.

Desmond Howard was a Superbowl MVP

Avant is playing with McNabb...

Blah blah blah, why does history have to repeat itself anyway?

Historical comparisons based on teams and positions is the biggest excuse I ever heard.

Wanna make a bet?

he better be 6'4" and run a 4.25

idk, someone who isn't progressing at the collegiate level probably doesn't have much of a future unless he possesses incredible abilities, I'll start to watch him more, I only watched bits of the Alabama/LSU game, but he didn't stand out to me

maybe it was because Flynn was tossing INTs left and right lol

I'd probably bet on it...he was supposed to be a really dominant player coming out of high school, and has been pretty average despite playing on a loaded team every yr and having good QB play the entire time...guys that were not as well thought of coming out of high school passed him up on the depth chart

I've never been overly impressed with him

It's whatever. You don't have to believe me. But, of course, I'm usually right, so it's at your own risk.

Edit: Regarding your edit: Flynn is absolutely horrible.

I'll ban myself for a year if he doesn't go in the first round.

Carter was such a low pick because he played in the USFL, otherwise he'd have been a top-10 pick coming out

Desmond Howard ended up having a decent career, but just was never a dominant WR...Tai Streets was a middle rd pick and actually had a couple of decent years, but was doomed by injuries...Avanta was a late rd pick, nobody expected anything from him

Manningham is a great player

Howard was the 4th pick in the draft and made little impact at the position he was drafted at. To date, what has Avant done? I'm not saying Manning ham won't be good, but I also thought Marquis Walker was going to be a pretty good receiver (highlight reels from ESPN), but he can't even get on the field.

You gotta match the bet. I'm not too worried. I won't be going anywhere.

He's a better receiver than Dwayne Bowe (who I raved about last year) and you see how he's doing in the NFL.

So Manningham went to the same school as these other so-called busts which makes MM a bust in the making?

I am still not following this "logic."

4th round isn't that late for expectations. (Green, Stanbach)
