Dwayne Jarrett - Just Say No!

[starfrombirth]

USC junior wide receiver Dwayne Jarrett: Jarrett said all the right things during the interview portion of his weekend, but he sounded like a player that knew he had limited workout skills since he repeatedly pointed to his stats and production as reasons he should be drafted high. However, by passing on the workout portion of the combine, he has raised a lot of eyebrows. He said that he was dealing with a hamstring injury that arose during training, but one of the other players that has been working out at the same pre-combine training location admitted that Jarrett's testing times were slower than desired and that waiting another four or five 5 weeks until USC's pro day probably would allow him the chance to slightly improve his times. However, breaking into the 4.6 range might still be a tall task for the ultra-productive receiver. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=jm-combinewrapup022807&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

I've been saying this since people started talking about him in the draft.

 

[mullet]

if he runs a 4.6 he should be ok........ nobody expects him to beat that.
If he rolls out a 4.8 he will slide.

It's not just that. At 4.6 - 4.7 he is no longer a game breaker when every corner in the nfl runs 4.5 or better. He also has trouble getting seperation in college so the next level is going to be even harder. And I don't want to spend our 1st pick on a possession receiver. :bang2:

I love Dwayne bowe out of LSU.

 

[baj1dallas]

I don't know that I ever saw him having trouble getting separation. I thought he was a heckuva good receiver. If he does slide he'll end up being a bargain for some team.

Yes.
He will slip..... but, it won't be too far until he becomes tremendous value.

I remember when Boldin rolled out a 4.8 and slipped to the third. He is pretty good (now size is clearly a factor for him).

 

[miamicowboy21]

I'll say this about jarrett, leon hall is supposed to be one of the top corners in this draft, jarrett abused him in the rose bowl.

 

[dalboy]

We need either to get him or Miheal Griffen.

It was later reported that Boldin ran injured.

 

[dalboy]

It just proves that he just that good.

Want to point out that he scored 29 TD's (his first two years) with Reggie Bush and LenDale White sharing the field with him. I'm fascinated by physical attributes and what they do at the combine but I'll still take on-field production.

If you take on-field production, then you'd have to want David Ball over Jarrett right?

Not to mention playing next to another pretty good WR in Steve Smith.

If you look at the game plan that teams usually implemented against USC, and it's amazing how productive Smith was. Rewatch the Rose Bowl, when facing top opposition. Michigan decided that it would be a better idea to double up on Jarret rather than risk putting Leon Hall on an island against him. Hall rarely lined up against Jarret, and when he did, he got scorched for a TD (I'm pretty sure he wasn't supposed to cover Jarret alone, and it looked like a coverage break down).

People love to rip on the Pac-10, but one thing you have to remember, most Pac-10 schools have pretty strong DB's. It's definately a fast conference.

Surely you can't be serious.


The first DB drafted from a PAC-10 school last year was Jarrod Page at #228 in the seventh round.

The PAC-10 is generally regarded as the worst defensive BCS conference by a wide margin.

[CowboyWay]

I agree with the original poster. Jarrett is a bust waiting to happen. I don't give a damn what he did in college. He played on one of the most talented offenses in the NCAA against sub par competition, the pac 10. They can't even spell defense out there.

You simply don't run a 4.6, 4.7 as a wideout in the NFL and expect to be a star. Tight ends can run faster than that in this league.

 

[big dog cowboy]

If we go WR at 22, we can do better than Jarrett.

Gotta love some people look at nothing but 40 yard dash and Pac 10 bias. Jarrett has consistantly performed on-field. His great route running enabled him to separate against the fast CBs. Also he has a great set of hands, I've seen him making many catches that he has no business catching them.

Speed doesn't always translate to being a successful WR, we have seen time and time again where a WR with decent speed can get open with precise routes, which Jarrett possess, a decent speed but he was able to get open, not just against Pac-10 teams but against just about all the teams he has faced.

It's comical to see an ignorant comment like "I don't give a damn what he did in college". With that irrational logic, who cares what anyone did at college, it means nothing.
