Considered the best deep threat in the country is very interesting. I don't know, I just know he won't go until around the 4th, which is a low risk situation for us.

We can get all of our real shopping done in the first 3 rounds, and then get a bargain in the 4th.

10 rec. for 209 yards, and 3 TDs is definitely a big day

Baskett is projected as a 2nd rounder, and if you think he can come in now and blow up, I say do it.

But if you see something else like an OT there, I say go ahead and do that , and then take a chance on a kid like Watkins.

Is Stovall planning on going to grad school and skipping an NFL future?

He's huge, but the SR is that he doesn't have top end speed and misses easy catches. With that said, I still wouldn't mind taking a look at him.

If he can put on 15-20 pounds while keeping his speed, he might be very good...

That said, my hot target at WR is Martin Nance of Miami-Ohio...

right? Otherwise, how could it remain unchanged once he made an additional post under the same thread?

BTW, I was thinking about making a new thread on the Skins vs Eagles game. No problem -- you know it will be controversial!

Phoenix, on this board when you make a new post, the post count changes on ALL of your posts... that confused me for a while, too... but if you go back to my first post ever to this board, it will also list my current post count...

I wouldn't be disappointed if the Cowboys drafted a deep threat in the third.

Great find, I like him. He was my first option at Wide Receiver, I think he's projected as a second rounder.

Scouting Report - Martin Nance

6'5 - 210 - 4.35/40
Projected round (2)

Pros: Incredible size-speed combo at 6'5" and is rumored to have run 4.33. Can totally dominate games with his ability. Will use his size to fight off receivers for the ball. Is a great red-zone target (14 TDs this year) and rarely drops balls. Reminds me of a more polished version of Plaxico Buress and should be a top player n the NFL. Very consistent with at least 5 catches every game his senior campaign.
Cons: Average leaping ability (34.5 inches); was injured seriously in the 2004 season which forced him to miss all of the season. Sometimes he catches the ball more with his body than his hands. Can lose his focus sometimes and have an off game.
