[b]Overview[/b]
Shipley has been a productive receiver at one of the top programs in the country for the past two years. He had some durability issues early in his career with hamstring pulls and a shoulder injury but has not missed any games in the last three years. He is explosive off the line and runs extremely crisp routes that allow him to separate from defenders with a good short burst. He is a natural when it comes to adjusting to off-target throws and will go over the middle to catch the ball in traffic. If he had better top end speed he would be pretty much the total package.






[b]Strengths[/b]
Shipley has enough size for the next level. He's an athletic player with really quick feet, which he uses to get open underneath and make plays after the catch. Possesses elite ball skills. Consistently catches the ball away from his body, will adjust to the bad pass, and is willing to go over the middle. Is a heady route runner and gets open against zone coverage. Extremely competitive.

[b]Weaknesses[/b]
Shipley lacks premier top end speed, doesn't have a ton of experience going deep and won't really scare too many NFL DB's as a vertical threat. Durability is potentially a concern. Suffered serious hamstring injury early in career and other minor ailments.

[b]Grade[/b]
7.1

for sure. same return skills...far better WR skills.

I like him to come in and compete immediatley for the slot job.

If we can finally block with 5 guys (come on Andre!) this offense is gonna thrash next year.

He's not a returner, is he?
[/quote]
Yes, he is. You won't find many OU fans (including myself) who won't tell you that he turned the tide in the '08 OU/TX game when he housed one on us when OU was threatening to blow it open early. This guy just has that hard to describe "it" that you see from a winner & I'm flat out giddy that we took him (even though he tortured me for 4 years).

Is Shipley better than Mardy?
[/quote]


Shipley is much better WR prospect, Gilyard gives you more explosion on special teams. I'm serious when I say Shipley will remind you of Wes Welker.

3 new WRs and a shiny new TE in the mix. Carson and Brat have a lot of new toys to play with. :thumbsup:

Time for the cream to rise @ WR. Caldwell needs to step up his game, and Simpson needs to find his. In a hurry.

You just know Carson is loving this offseason.

His skillset is Houshmandzadeh-ish. We got a White Housh. I absolutely love this pick.

For all of you that are saying he is Welkerish.... no. You are racist. When I look at Shipley I see Housh.

Gilyard is more Welkery than Shipley.


I AM SO HAPPY1!!!!!!!
