Boy, he sure looks good on the ESPN highlights.
Actually, he runs like a big tailback. Big guy with speed.

Based off their hundred times, he's one of the fastest players in this draft. As they say, speed's the only thing you can't teach.

Another baseball player/QB, huh? We already have fine return men in Thompson and Austin and even Newman, but this guy does sound like a good athlete when healthy. I just wish his role was more defined.
We still need a safety. I heard a lot about Tanard Jackson. I guess the Cowboys don't think too highly of him.

I don't think he was on many people's lists this high. The Cowboys brought him in for a workout a few weeks ago and he must have blown him away to the point where they must have felt they couldn't let him slip through their fingers. I take it he's completely healed from the lis franc and must have demonstrated some serious speed at his workout. He's a great athlete. He ran a timed 10.4 in the 100 meter dash.

I just don't know alot about the guy. Perhaps this will prove to be a pretty savy pick. Right now however, I'm a little shocked, stunned, confused, dazed, dissapointed and hurt.

This is where it could get real interesting with JJ wheelin' n' dealin' some more to package some of the later picks to move up in this round to get somebody that will make some of you doubters happy...At least I hope so!
Hope so, 4th round is pretty loaded.
After that, not much left

Isaiah Stanback's quest to become a quarterback at the next level continues.
The athletically gifted passer from the University of Washington did what his on-the-mend right foot would allow Friday, when scouts from NFL teams gathered in the Huskies' indoor practice facility to watch Stanback and two dozen of his draft-eligible former teammates go through their paces on Husky Pro Day.
For Stanback, whose senior season prematurely ended in October with a Lisfranc sprain that required surgery, that meant throwing an array of passes under the guidance of former UW quarterback Cary Conklin, now a scout for the St. Louis Rams.
There will be no running or jumping for Stanback until the final screws are removed from his foot. He hopes to start running in the next two weeks and be full go by May.
"If I'm able to run before the draft, they're going to want to see it," he said. "If I'm healthy enough to do it, great. But if not, I've got to come back right and not push it."
That means a team might not know exactly what to do with Stanback until after selecting him in the April draft.
"You can't help but like him," a scout for an AFC team said. "But as what?"
Quarterback is the position Stanback wants to play, but he has enough athletic ability and speed -- he finished fifth in the 100 meters at the Pac-10 meet in 2005 -- to play safety. Or wide receiver. Or kick returner. Or a combination of them.
"He's one of those guys that a lot of people are going to see very differently," a scout for another AFC team said. "Nobody will see him differently athletically, because he's a great athlete and he can run.
"Where the discrepancy will lie is that some teams will think he's got a shot to play quarterback, others won't," he said. "Some will think, 'Well, if he's not a quarterback, what is he? Corner? Safety? Wideout?' Some I've even heard running back.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and people are going to see this guy very differently."
Friday, Stanback wasn't always NFL accurate on his shorter passes, but displayed a strong arm throwing on intermediate routes and nice touch on the deep ball.
More importantly for Stanback, he moved well on his surgically repaired foot.
"People know that you're an athlete, but they still want to see it," he said. "It's just like a car. You can hear about a car, but you still want to see it before you buy it.
"That's pretty much what this is. These people need security, and I fully understand that." Stanback was limited to throwing and lifting (22 reps with 225 pounds) at the scouting combine in February. But he scored big points during his interview sessions with team representatives.
"You don't need to spend much time with him to realize this kid has some natural leadership ability, and that he's got his head screwed on right," one AFC assistant coach said at the combine. "He comes across as a quality kid, one that would be very easy to work with."

A faster Anquon Boldin. I don't hate this pick, though I do agree that we could've gotten him later in the draft.

The guy seems to be a superb all around athlete. His speed is outstanding.
I think maybe the 'Boys success at converting Crayton to a receiver, along with knowing this guy has prior experience at playing receiver and his outstanding speed and #1 receiver size, tells me that the Cowboys loved his potential to translate into a good to great receiver.
