How good is Kendall Wright?

[Chocolate Lab]

Every time I watch him I'm really impressed. He's not big, but he has really good, if not totally elite, speed. And he seems tough. He's by far the biggest WR threat on his team but he still produces. Hate comparing college players to great pros, but he's kind of like a poor man's Steve Smith to me.

Any thoughts?

Who is Kendall Wright?

Number 1 for Baylor.

I like Wright as a slot receiver. He looks like a faster Dwayne Harris, a strong, compact receiver with almost a RB build.

No more WRs in the draft, please.

I would consider QB, NT, ILB, OG/C and DB as legit needs in the draft. We don't need TE, WR, DE, OT or OLB (if we re-sign Spencer) so I would only take one if he represents extreme value after the 3rd round.

I really, really like Kendall Wright.

I don't necessarily see the Steve Smith (the Carolina Panther, I'm assuming...) from a physical standpoint. IMO, the guy he reminds me of is Greg Jennings from the Packers.

It will be interesting to see how Laurent Robinson performs as our no. 3 the rest of this season, but I would be ecstatic if we nabbed Wright to be our future #3 guy. Right now, I'm projecting Wright as a 2nd-4th round pick.

If there is value when picked, sure.

He's very good. Good speed and plays a lot bigger than his size. I've seen him make some amazing catches this year, he has the ability to make acrobatic catches. I think his stock will only rise from here on out though, he'll probably go 2nd or 3rd. In the 3rd round, I'd do it. I like him or either of the Arkansas WRs, Joe Adams/Jarius Wright in that part of the draft

Those are two other great names, and in particular Joe Adams whom I think has some Percy Harvin explosiveness in him. This draft should be loaded with talent at the WR position.
