easy guys I have watched Stanback at Husky Stadium for three years. Nothing I have seen looks like Boldin. He is a good athlete and a good kid. Can he play QB or WR in the NFL, I have no idea but neither do you from watching him on video highlights.

His highlights do look good but lets see how he can play WR. Will he go over the middle? Does he have good hands (Crayton has excellent hands)? Can he run good routes? etc. Obviously speed isn't the only aspect of being an good NFl receiver as we all know with Randall Williams. Now Woody dantlzer may not have had an NFL position but I remember watching him in college and being amazed when he got the ball in the open field while in college. His talents didn't translate to the pros, although Stanbeck may have more background at WR so that might help.
I am intrigued with the pick and I am a guy who very easily gets wrapped up in potential. Although, to be honest, I need to say I am little disappointed that our third pick this weekend is for a guy like Isiah. I had hopes it would be someone a little bit more established. Although, let me also note I was slow on the take for our Grambling choice last year and now I feel he may be the key to our draft last year.

That time isn't legit either PJ. None of those sites have a legitimate time since he's still in a walking boot. But like Ginn, most can tell he's faster than those times and he claims he's 4.3-4.4

Wanted him so bad? Where do you get that? By the way, you are wrong about his 40 times. Several outlets have him down at 4.58 to 4.65 40 scores. (Including ESPN at 4.62 and NFL Draft Scout 4.58 to 4.65) I beleive he didn't run at the combine because of his injury. Though I could be wrong about the combine part.

According to Stanback, he has no idea where they came up with the 4.6 forty time. He said he's never ran that in his life and is a 4.3 guy. Makes sense given his 100 meter clocked results.
Jerrah said he showed great hands when they worked him out. Proper positioning of the thumbs and plucked the ball out of the air. He's actually played WR and returner before. I think the injury is a bit risky, but I think there's a lot of misinformation going on about Stanback. He's ran a 10.48 100 meter time which means he's a very fast human being. I've watched him for awhile and he's got great hips and is a long strider. Again, it depends on the foot injury but if he's 100% he is tremendous with the football in his hands.

Only because threads are flying fast and furious in the Daily Zone, I'm going to post some of the stuff about Stanback here...
per Roshi's recap on Stanback's post draft call on the Ticket
The thing with the injury is I wasn’t able to show everything I can do leading up the the draft. I heard people say I run 4.55. I’ve never ran that in my life. I’m a 4.3 guy. I’m in month 6 of an 8 month recovery, so I’m able to run and around and cut.
I didn’t start running track until my junior year of college. When I started I ran the 100 at 11.2 and by the end I got it down to 10.48. I ran the 60 in 6.80. I missed making the Nationals by .02 of a second.

Isaiah Stanback at WR
Washington Huskies quarterback Isaiah Stanback, the Cowboys' first fourth-round pick, isn't expected to stay at the position, according to draft expert Mel Kiper.
Stanback (6-3, 215) will be converted to wide receiver, he says. If so, he joins a team where he will battle against a player with a similar background. Third receiver Patrick Crayton was a former college quarterback at Northwestern Oklahoma State drafted by the Cowboys in the seventh round in 2004. Former Cowboys wide receiver/return man Skyler Green is a former high school quarterback.

More on Stanback
Washington quarterback Isaiah Stanback played in just eight games last season after having season-ending foot surgery for a badly sprained right foot.
The Seattle native threw for 3,868 career yards with 22 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. In 2003 -- his freshman year -- he had 10 receptions for 143 yards and played in all 11 games, mostly at wide receciver. That season he also returned eight kickoffs for 133 yards.

Stanback glided across the synthetic grass at the Dempsey Indoor facility, football tucked under his arms as it was while he finished third in career rushing yards by a Husky quarterback (794). He showed glimpses of his previous, 4.42 speed in the 40-yard dash, the gift that made him a finalist in the Pac-10 championships in the 100 meters last spring. He finished one place out of qualifying for the NCAA finals.
Wednesday, Stanback ran shirtless, revealing the muscular upper body of a running back and the sleek torso of a wide receiver. It's a hint of the versatility that have led the New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys, St. Louis Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars to have Stanback in for private workouts recently. He said two to three teams call him each day. The NFL knows he also has brains -- he graduated in four years from Washington with a degree in American ethnic studies.
Stanback said the Patriots seem most intrigued. All the teams have told him that they could use Stanback on special teams until he develops as an NFL quarterback. A team drafting Stanback may be able to afford to carry just two passers on the roster, knowing it would have a third listed as a wide receiver.
"Everybody likes the athlete, but you have to pay attention to the injury deal," said Tim Ruskell, the Seattle Seahawks president and general manager. "Its split down the middle on whether you should bring him in as a QB or a wide receiver. But there's a lot of buzz on the guy. Hes such a good athlete."
The screws went in last Oct. 17, three days after Stanback crumpled to the Husky Stadium turf in a game against Oregon State because his foot and ankle had turned grotesquely outward while he tried to change direction.
With him, Washington started last season 4-1, more wins than in the previous two seasons. Without him, Washington lost its next four games and finished 5-7.
"I went to a game. He can do some amazing things," said Ruskell, whose hometown team does not need a quarterback -- but could use Stanback's athleticism.
"But he didn't finish the year."

WoodysGirl,
Today is today. He has to put up or shutup. Until I see him post that type of speed (post injury) then I'm going with what is noted my post media outlets.
If this was true, Washington must have been really hurting for QBs, because they usually have them. If they had to use a guy with this size and speed as their QB, there was a problem.

Thats .02 short of qualifying for the NCAA track championship field----and Stanback did it as a parttime sprinter weighing 216. His competition couldn't have been hauling more than 180 lb.at that speed. That's elite size/speed ratio.
Glad you're defering to "those who know better". A good shot with a 4th round price IMO.

I actually have no beef in this debate. I was posting actual info based on what's been reported in the last day or so, that alot of people are debating with no real foundation to base their opinions.nyc;1481605 said:
I understand questioning the pick, but debating his measurables when they're right there in front of you and not from some random scouting report is what looks questionable to me.
As for the put up or shut up comment, what's that all about? He's a 4th rd pick who has no shot in the WR rotation this year. I expect him to make his money on special teams the first year. By next year, that's when I'd like to see him making a push to get some WR snaps.

The famous bottom line is what he can do if his foot heals. He had speed and hands and is apparently a nice kid and works hard. Period. First he has to heal, then he has to show what he can do on the field. The entire second days worth of picks are projects of one kind or another with the exception of Free to my mind. If/When he can run any where near his old times he might hang around and maybe make the practise squad as a STer. He isn't the second coming of anyone particulary at the moment. My best hope is he heal and show some speed and be a ST and learn the WR part as he goes.

Who would trust an ESPN 40 time that appears to be a guess at best over verified track times run in one of the biggest, most respected track conferences in the country? 
Crayton is about a 4.6 guy. Stanback would absolutely smoke Crayton in any kind of sprint.

Stanback was a reach. A 4th is just a little early for a project of his type. It is not like using a 2nd on Randel El, but Antwan spent a lot more time at receiver in college. That is why I view it as a reach. I still like the player and potential, but would have preferred a 5th at best. Obvsiously he is not going to be looked at as a QB, but he has good physical skills for a receiver. Just a lot to learn at that position. It is hard for guys to grow into it when they did it for 3 or 4 years in college. Stanback has not. Still a 4th is better than the 1st the Jags used on Matt Jones. I am exicted to see what Stanback can do, but realistic enough to know it just may not work out.
As far as similarities to Boldin. I can see a little of it in stature and style. I thought Boldin was a pretty good receiver coming out of FSU and was not concerned with his slow postings in the 40. He has done well in the NFL and had the benefit of being more polished at receiver than Stanback coming out of college.
