WR Workout Numbers

[cobra]

I'd be ecstatic with Anthony Gonzalez in Round 2, but I don't think he will make it to our 2nd round pick.

I don't like him as much at #22.

But he will be a good one.

Looked to me that the kid Meachum from Tennessee had a great workout. They were all going on and on about it.

 

[cobra]

Yeah, Meachum seemed to grab the #3 WR handle.

Depending on Jarrett works out (I expect it to be poorly), I think the WR board will look like:
1. C. Johnson
2. T. Ginn
3. Meachum
4. Bowe/Jarrett
5. Bowe/Jarrett
6. S.Rice
7. A. Gonzales

Couldnt have said it better...

Anyone here besides me excited about this Figures kid? He could be TG's replacement in a couple of years with good mentorship from TG himself. Full speed catches easily and a 40 in the 4.30 range is huge!

 

[DasTex]

UUmmm no! That will be Calvin Johnson. He is a literal freak of nature. I'm touting Sidney Rice for our selection but that is because I think he will be available. If CJ fell to us I would genuflect(splg?) for a full day.

Productive was the key term in what I said. Sure I think Calvin Johnson is a freak of nature and will be a solid, if not great WR in the NFL.

With AG, he's going to be just what he was in college..not always flashing, not always making the great acrobatic catch, but just making the catch...making 1st downs.

Yeah, in round 2.

Can anyone explain to me why someone would be touting Sidney Rice? Yeah, he is 6'4". Outside of that, everything else about him is average. I don't see him being any difference between him and Maurice Stovall who was the #90 pick at the end of the third round last year beyond the fact that Rice played in a Spurrier offense.

I saw him play some games last year, and I always thought he was a terrific player. They had MAJOR QB problems @ SC, and I think that had he played at a school with a good QB he would have been a star. Could be wrong, but it wouldn't hurt my fellings to take him in the 2nd.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

still can't believe Stuckey ran 4.6s

 

[Rockytop6]

Didn't see his 40 time before, that's not good news for him... he was supposed to be a 4.35 40 guy, not a 4.53... maybe the stopwatch went dyslexic during his run??

Seriously, he's gonna need to scorch the track at his Pro Day workout now, or watch himself possibly fall out of the first day altogether...

Silverbear, what round do you think Gonzalez and Hill will be picked?

 

[CATCH17]

Meachem underachieves 2 years in college, finally has a decent year, and runs a good 40 time and thats enough to spend a 1st on him?

Meachem is going to be a disapointment in my opinion. He'll get the money and you wont ever see much after that.

Hes always been physically gifted but it took him 3 years to finally show signs of it on the field.

 

[InmanRoshi]

Yeah, in round 2.

I don't know if I can agree with that. Rice has a terrific feel for the game and phenomenal skills when the ball is in the air. When you have that kind of height combined with those kind of instinctual ball skills, you get Colston Weatherington, Larry Fitzgerald or Plaxico (without 'tude). He's not polished, he's leaving two years of eligibility on the table, but he has a huge ceiling.

I don't really think he "underachieved" by not tearing up the SEC at 19 years old coming off a major knee injury playing in a stagnant, run oriented offense.

But its funny how Meachem, and the other Volunteer WR's, suddenly have "decent" years when Tennessee rehires Cutcliff and they get a halfway decent passing attack going again.

 

[carphalen5150]

Anthony Gonzalez/Ohio State: Tremendous workout. After some fast forties Gonzalez settled down and caught everything thrown in his direction. Running very sharp routes he made some tremendous receptions. At one point he was cutting the line of receiver to take extra reps with the passers.

IMO this is going to be the most productive WR out of this draft.

Gonzo is going to be a very nice complimentary guy, but there is no way in hell he is going to be more productive than CJ, Jarrett, Bowe or Rice.

Exactly.

It's not like he didn't play good for several years. A knee injury as a freshman and a poor overall team effort in a 5-6 Sophomore year was plenty of reason he didn't have good numbers those two seasons.

This past year, with their former OC back and with him healthy, Meach had a great year.

I don't think those first two years are any indication of the type of player he will be in the NFL.
