The question with these wr's in the upcoming draft that have the speed to stretch the field is are they big enough and strong enough to get off the line of scrimmage and escape the db jamming them? You hope you can get a big, strong, guy who can beat the jam, but still explosive enough to stretch the defense. IMO I would take Sweed with the #28th pick. Overall he ranks right up there with the other wr's in the draft, plus drafting him would be a good pr move for the Cowboys with Sweed being a former Horn and Texas native. In addition to picking up Sweed maybe the Boys could get lucky and have one of those smaller, speedy, guys like Dexter Jackson, or another Texas guy in Houston's Donnie Avery fall to them in the later rounds. If the Boys address the rb and cb positions I could see them picking up those 2 with Sweed potentially being a TO type receiver and a Jackson or Avery being a speedy slot receiver who could also return punts and kickoffs.

I'd take Sweed over any of the guys on the list.

I'd be if we went WR at either 22 or 28.

Then plan on going cause if Devin Thomas is there at #22 I think we'll take him!

I used 4.45 in the forty as the cut-off speed. In other words I'm looking for guys that are more like Glenn than they are TO.

Another cut-off factor could have been height.
With corners getting longer, leaner and speedier, a WR's height becomes a factor, IMHO.

Not on my Madden he's not. I think he started out rated like 56 overall.
