He doesn't have a 40; needs to be measured in the 100

WTF Marvin?[/quote]

My thoughts exactly.

1. Joseph was a great pick
2. Hated Whitworth at first but I am starting to warm up to it. Still think we could have got him in the third round
3. Rucker was a pretty bad pick
4. Peko was a great pick
5. Nicholson could be the second best player of this draft class (after Joseph)
6. McNeal joins an already crowded group of recievers
7. Career special teams player at the very best
7. [size=6][b]WHY!?!?!?!?!?![/b][/size]

yeah, the only speed measurement I can personally look at to get an idea of how fast this guy really is is the 40. I'm kinna pissed bout that.

[CornerBlitZ]

Ok the draft is offiicially over. Lets get into the evaluations, grades, etc. Anybody that has anything to say about our picks ?

I think Nicholson could dominate in the 3-4 next to Odell. But..... doesnt look like we'll be going to it, as we picked approximately 48 WRs in this draft.

[Jason]

I'm not going to complain about a guy with Olympic - aka world class speed in the 7th round.

I guess being pissed off about a seventh round pick is kind of silly.

[b]What about poor Rudi??[/b]

[Rumble In the Jungle]

for the whole thing i'll give the bengals a C grade, just cause we never got a TE, and we for sure needed one.

I've gotta believe in Marvin...he never picks who I expect him to pick, but it always seems to work out.

[Guest BlackJesus]

[b]Don't view them as WR's .... view them as Gunners and special teamers [/b]

Wear those corners asses out

[Jason]

The draft evaluation thread disappeared, so I guess I will post it here.

If nothing else, we have added a [b]LOT[/b] of speed. Joseph will be a starter soon. Whitworth seems like a great technician, and good insurance if we don't sign anybody.

I like the flexibility McNeil adds. And it looks like the PSU kid could be a good gunner.

Remember, a couple of years ago, a lot of people were whining about eht 2004 draft. That one turned out alright.

I'll give the draft a B.

You [u]have[/u] to view them as recievers because we don't have enough spots on the team for just gunners and special teamers, they have to be versatile enough to play both.

Neither one of these seventh round guys are even going to make the team.

[NativeTheory]

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by taking a risk on a second 7th round pick. You can't teach speed which this kid has... this guy can be a project. Doesn't seem like he has much experience. Never hurts to have fast guys on the team.

[Guest BlackJesus]

[b]Marvin has Tightendphobia ....


No TE's for anyone ....


but hell we won't need them ....
