To me, Smith is more of a FS. He's a good athlete as shown by his jumps, but his timed speed to me also shows on the field.

Kelly is a possession WR IMO.

What is that whistling sound I hear? Sounds like the former #1 WR prospect plumetting.
We need wins, and that's all we need. I don't give a damn about anyone on this roster over wins. I'd trade Ware, Lee and Dez if it meant more wins.

No. No he won't.

Both would be crazy to draft him that high, but by all means.

He wasn't hurt at the combine. He wasn't hurt at the Pro Day. He was just trying to put this off as long as possible.

The Bills will never draft Donte Whitner in the top 10.

Teams do crazy things to fill needs.

Devin Thomas is the clear #1 WR now.

Thomas might get looks but no one should draft him top 10. There isn't a WR in the draft worthy of a top 20 pick IMO.

What a completely lame class of WRs

For what it's worth. Scott Wright confirms the numbers.

No. No he's not.

And if you mean teams do stupid crap, then yeah, maybe some team will be moronic and take Devin Thomas as a top 10 pick.

Last year, Thomas (even giving him the benefit of what he did last season, since he did almost nothing the year before) would have been a late 2nd round to 3rd round pick. This year, all of a sudden, he's a top 15 prospect. Are you kidding me?

I think you could certainly make the argument that Devin Thomas is the top receiver in the draft, but I wouldn't take him before Hardy. Thomas simply has a bigger risk factor.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Dude seriously Theo. Dont call me out in a thread. You have something to say to me personally then I suggest you take it to a PM.

They were looking at MK at that spot. It was on a few reports and on NFL network. I sat there and watched them discuss it.

Please dont be a JA all the time?

Now as far as MK having those numbers. Yes - this will seriously impact his draft and Reggies.

If you remember back to my post about Cincy, I said it would all be based on how he performed today.

I've got a prayer on my desk. It says, "Dear Lord, I pray that my place will never be with the cold, timid souls who do not compete yet criticize, for they never know or feel success or failure."

No doubt these times for Kelly will drop him in the draft and right now that is what all of this is about positioning for the draft. 1 thing none of these test will tell you about a player is how he will perform at the next level. I still think Kelly will be a good player at the next level regardless of where he is drafted.

I agree. I also can't remember a RB or CB class this deep ever.
