My Top 5 WRs in the Draft

[Clove]

I like Todd Watkins as well. A year ago, he was considered the nations best deep threat. He's 6'3, but a little light weighing around 190ish.

I really think the team that drafts Moss in the first or early second is going to regret it. Hes living off of his brothers name. Hes basically a totally unproven WR living on name and speed right now.

Mike Hass from Oregon St. has to be in the top 5 if not top 3

With this WR class there really isn't any player who is head and shoulders above the rest.

Hass belongs in the top 10-15. The problem with this draft class is that there really isn't a whole lot of difference between 1 and 10.

If anything it should be 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d...

Goofy huh ? Well...I guess that's a good enough resaon not to like him . Hey , your not a Stovall fan , big deal . You are wrong about the Senior Bowl though . During the week of practices Stovall was the star and caught everything thrown at him . During the game he had one ball thrown about 20 feet over his head , and caught the only other pass thrown his direction . You could say he ran poor routes if you wanted , or that he couldn't get open , but to say he showed poor hands is incorrect .

I don't know about that. I'm a Notre Dame fan and the one thing that bothered me about Stovall is his inconsistent hands. That is up until this past season.

That said, If he's there in the 3rd round I'd take him. Maybe even the second depending on who else is available.

Yes.

I guess Ignignokt isn't as obscure as I thought.

You know, some of these guys could have a bigger impact in some teams passing game more than any of the WR's in the draft.

 

[neosapien23]

Yes.

Yeah I wanted to try and get Meatwad as my sig. Where did you find the sig of the moonanite?

You beat me to it. I was about to chime in on him. Runs great routes. Good hands too.

Anyone know how old he is? BYU players tend to be a little older comming out of college because many go on missions for 2 years.

mine:
1) Santonio Holmes followed very closely by
2) Chad Jackson
3) Sinorice Moss
4) Maurice Stovall
5) Jonathan Orr
6) Jason Avant

 

[Derinyar]

I really just don't get the love for Sincore Moss. Yes hes fast. Yes his name is Moss. Other than those two facts theres almost nothing there that says he should be a high pick in the draft. Hes been very medicore, or worse, in college. And now some are wanting us to use a 1st round pick on him.

I agree and I wouldn't use a 1st on him.

But he did impress me at the Senior Bowl and has good intangibles.

I just question pretty much all of his football skills. We had a WR with great measurables not too long ago, probably better than Moss's. Of course if your not a WR your not worth using. Right now I'm not sure Moss is anything other than a KR.

I think Moss can develop into a better WR. All that I read though seems to say he has great hands and speed. He could learn from the best, TG, and return kicks and work special plays until TG leaves.
Moss is like that other guy Moss, get him the ball however you can and let him run IMO.
I don't want to use a first on him. He might be worth a late second but his value IMO is as a third rounder although I doubt he lasts that long.
I would only draft him if we ended up with a second second-round pick or he he was available in the third.

I don't think he served one. He's about 22 or 23 I think. Was a JC transfer, has been out of HS for 5 years and is a Senior. Thus the 2 year hitch couldn't have happened.

His brother Travis plays OL at USC. His uncle played pro football with several teams. His father played college ball.

I read that about his brother Hos. I just hope I don't see anyone use the 'P' word.

Having seen Watkins in the handful of time that I have, I don't think that he will make an immediate impact for this Cowboys team in '06. Now, having said that I can see how it would make much sense to draft a player, any player, on day one who may at best see limmited action in their rookie year.

As I've stated before, this years crop of WR's may be the worst that I've seen in 7-8 years.

Don't get me wrong, Watkins has huge upside, and in 2 or 3 years he may be ready to step into a supporting roll...i.e. a #2 WR. But I don't think he's a #1 WR and I'd be very reluctant to draft a WR on day one who can't step in on day one, especially in this years draft.

Its not the best draft philosophy, but I may wait 'til next year when the class of WR's will be the best that it's been in several years.

2007 WR Class *(Including possible underclassmen) In no particular order

*Sidney Rice 6-4 195 of South Carolina
*James Hardy 6-6 215 of Indiana
*Dwayne Jarrett, 6-5, 195, Soutern California
*Ted Ginn, 6-0, 170, Ohio State
*Calvin Johnson, 6-4, 225, Georgia Tech
Jason Hill, 6-2, 205, Washington State
Steve Smith, 6-1, 195, Southern California
Jeff Samardjiza, 6-5, 210, Notre Dame
*Todd Blythe, 6-4, 210, Iowa State
Jarrett Hicks, 6-4, 210, Texas Tech
Dwayne Bowe, 6-3, 215, LSU
Steve Breaston, 6-1, 180, Michigan (KR)
Aundrae Allison, 6-0, 190, East Carolina
Andre Caldwell, 6-1, 200, Florida
Ryan Moore, 6-3, 215, Miami

And I'm sure, like every year, someone who wasn't mentioned will break out and move into that group.

Point is, I'd rather spend a 1st day pick on one of these cats in '07 than a "top shelf" WR this year who would have been a 4th, 5th or 6th in '07.

But if Watkins...if! If, the Cowboys had a very very (Chris Simms late) late pick in the 3rd, or a 4th, it would be hard not to consider him.
