Limas Sweed baby!!!

I watched all of his games.......I want him in Dallas....but not if we have to sacrifice drafting Cason......

CB Cason is our top priority, IMO........then we can go after Sweed or anyone else.....

Of course, I would love to get Sweed, Cason, and Charles with our top 3 picks.......that would make me absolutely ecstatic.......but Charles wont fall to the 60s.
 
Just watching the youtube Sweed seems to have great hands and will battle for the ball. I do think of Alvin Harper everytime I see him and that's not necessarily a bad thing as long as TO is here.

In a draft supposedly this weak in receivers, getting a guy who could duplicate the career of Harper might be the best you can really hope for.
 
I'm a University of Texas alumnus, and a stalwart Longhorn fan.

But even I have serious reservations about Limas Sweed. He made a number of highlight-worthy catches in college, but he also had the annoying habit of disappearing for long stretches, often spanning multiple games.

The youtube video is undeniably impressive, but pay close attention to the competition: Many of those spectacular catches and runs came against the UNTs, Baylors, and Rices of the world.

It often seems that Sweed's entire college reputation was built upon one play: the game winning TD against Ohio State.

I thin DeSean Jackson has Steve Smith(Carolina) type potential but I think Sweed is the safer bet and thats why i Rank the Wrs...

1-Limas Sweed
2-DeSean Jackson

You know, living in the east we don't get very many texas games. It has improved over the last two years but all in all we are lucky to get the Texas/Oklahoma game, the big 12 championship game and of course any bowl games they were in.

Of the last few years I have seen him it seems that for the most part he was a non factor.

I just don't see a good value for us taking him in the first. Honestly I am not sure any of the WRs in this class would be great value for us in the first.

Now if he fell into the second (whether with our current 2nd pick or a 2nd round pick we obtained through trades) I would probably be ok with it.

I am not going to pitch a fit if we take him in the first, just not who I would care for taking in the first.
 
Our offense needs a burner that can stretch the field and keeps teams honest. Would rather have DeSean at 22, but Sweed is going to fallllll tomorrow. He may be available by the time we pick again in the 2nd.
