[dbair1967]

I'll ban myself for a year if he doesn't go in the first round.

You gotta match the bet. I'm not too worried. I won't be going anywhere.

He's a better receiver than Dwayne Bowe (who I raved about last year) and you see how he's doing in the NFL.

Howard was the 4th pick in the draft and made little impact at the position he was drafted at. To date, what has Avant done? I'm not saying Manning ham won't be good, but I also thought Marquis Walker was going to be a pretty good receiver (highlight reels from ESPN), but he can't even get on the field.

So Manningham went to the same school as these other so-called busts which makes MM a bust in the making?

I am still not following this "logic."

Carter was such a low pick because he played in the USFL, otherwise he'd have been a top-10 pick coming out

Desmond Howard ended up having a decent career, but just was never a dominant WR...Tai Streets was a middle rd pick and actually had a couple of decent years, but was doomed by injuries...Avanta was a late rd pick, nobody expected anything from him

Manningham is a great player

David

4th round isn't that late for expectations. (Green, Stanbach)

 

[Bob Sacamano]

It's whatever. You don't have to believe me. But, of course, I'm usually right, so it's at your own risk.

DJ Hall >>>> Early

Craig Davis started over Early, and you see how he's doing in the NFL



squat

I never said he was going to be a bust All I said was that Michigan receivers scare me. To be totally fair, Florida receivers scare me more with Jackson being the latest to not do much.

Are you implying that Davis starting over Early means that Davis is better?

If so, you're not very familiar with Les Miles. He'll start a senior over a more talented younger player regardless of how good he is. Perilloux is better than Flynn and they have more than one back on the roster better than Hester.

By the way, despite playing behind Davis, he had more receptions. Why? Because of his speed and ability to read defenses and find the opening between zones.

He would have posted 1000+ yards this season had he not been injured. By the way, I didn't think Davis should have been drafted that early. He was at best a 3rd rounder.

you left off a few other good Michigan WR's...

Glenn Doughty was pretty good for the Colts in the 70's...Chris Calloway was a middle rd pick at WR was good for a number of years in the 90's 90's...that Amani Toomer guy turned out ok too

guess I don't know Les Miles then

do you have his stats for the games played? because I couldn't see his name on the receiving yards stat sheet on ESPN.com:laugh2:

edit: I'm just funning you theo, Doucet isn't a bad receiver, just I feel he's being a little overrated for not doing much of anything, I'll have to watch him more

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Hmmm I can't wait to see what Dallas will do with those two 1st round picks...

I like Toomer and followed him from High School outside of Menlo. He was such a stud, I thought he would dominate in college. He did pretty well and has made a nice career out of it, but hasn't been the dominant force I thought he would be, which is probably why he lasted to the 2nd round.
Greg McMurtry was picked earlier than Calloway and didn't do much. All in all, I'm not ANTI Michigan, but if it were between 2 guys of similar talent and they went to Michigan, Florida, or Anyplace USA, my preference would be for the 3rd.

 

[theogt]

No, apparently not.

or because he was going up against inferior comp

the college, 3rd CB

Really? You know what looks he got last season? You watched him play that much?

do you have his stats for the games played? because I couldn't see his name on the receiving yards stat sheet on ESPN.com:laugh2:

He has 313 yards and 4 TDs in 4 games. Not bad for a guy that's dealt with an injury. He'll probably end the season with 600 yards despite missing half the season.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

No, apparently not.

I said that already, but thanks for repeating

the 3rd WR usually doesn't get the looks that the starting 2 guys do, and you said it yourself, he found the holes in zones

again, I'll have to watch him more, so for now, DJ Hall >>> Doucet

Just pointing out your lack of knowledge on the subject at hand.

And he continues to do it with regularity as the #1 receiver.

again, I'll have to watch him more, so for now, DJ Hall >>> Doucet

These last few games (and of course the Combine) will really determine how high in the first he's drafted. Should be a treat as he looked much better last weekend than he did the weekend before when he first returned from his injury. Unfortunately, the better he performs, the more out of reach he'll be.

And I like DJ Hall too, but I think Doucet is the more complete receiver. He'd more likely contribute immediately. I probably should have added Hall to my list earlier.

well I got Saturday off

I'll be watching *gives the stink-eye*

Watch their tight end, Richard Dickson, too. He's only a sophomore, but he'll be a future 1st/2nd rounder.

 

[smarta5150]

Mike Hart hasn't fumbled in 16 years.

Not exact number but look it up statistic gurus.

Go Blue!

 

[cboyd]

Adarius Bowman will be the best WR in this draft

 

[BouncingCheese]

FORGET manningham; one dimensional deep threat like bernard berrian
