PISSCHUNK Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 » WR Limas Sweed (6-4 ¼, 210): Ran the 40 in 4.50 and 4.51, had a 37 ½-inch vertical jump, 10-foot, 8-inch long jump, 4.33 short shuttle, 7.14 cone drill, ran position drills and looked good catching the ball. He had a 4.46 at the combine in the 40. Late
Pete Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 37.5 vertical jump and 6'4 is sick! Him and Bowman have the longest arms at the combine too. No one is gonna defend a well placed high throw to Sweed!

bills_fan Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 For you Texas guys....how does Sweed compare to Roy Williams when you saw him at Texas. I confess I have not watched much Texas football.
Guest Buffalo Billdo Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 For you Texas guys....how does Sweed compare to Roy Williams when you saw him at Texas. I confess I have not watched much Texas football. I wouldnt put him quite in the same class as Roy Williams. Williams took the Big 12 by storm early in his career then his numbers fell off b/c he had a young vince young throwing to him. This is mostly a guess though. Sweed was just never healthy so it is mostly guesswork.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 For you Texas guys....how does Sweed compare to Roy Williams when you saw him at Texas. I confess I have not watched much Texas football. Here's his highlight video Watching this video, I think his body control and Hands are better then half the pro's I've seen. Has trouble separating but makes up for it with his ability to "go get it".
Fewell733 Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 played 11 games as a freshman, and 13 games in both his sophmore and junior years - that's a lot of action to judge him on - and he was very productive - especially as a junior with 12 touchdowns.
Simon Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 If he could only stay healthy. Scares the daylights out of me. Sweed was just never healthy so it is mostly guesswork. Before his first and only significant injury he started 39 straight games.
Guest Buffalo Billdo Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Has Oklahoma had their pro day yet? How does Kelly compare.. I dont think he ran at the combine.
Hazed and Amuzed Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Has Oklahoma had their pro day yet? How does Kelly compare.. I dont think he ran at the combine. I don't think he does. I think Kelly is the 3rd best WR in the draft. OK has had their pro day and no he hasn't run yet.
Pete Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I don't think he does. I think Kelly is the 3rd best WR in the draft. OK has had their pro day and no he hasn't run yet. I think Kelly is third best WR at best. IMO Sweed and Thomas are neck and neck and it's a matter of preference. I am not sure how many teams are looking to draft WR in first round(maybe Philly, Minnesota, Bears,) but the depth of the WRs bodes well for a trade down. I think Minnesota likes Thomas a lot but I have not heard many teams mention Sweed yet. He might be able to be drafted late in the first

Sounds like to me he is running slow and hoping to shave a 10th of a second over the next month... fishy

I think Minnesota likes Thomas a lot but I have not heard many teams mention Sweed yet. He might be able to be drafted late in the first Those are the two I got neck and neck with a slight edge to Thomas due to Sweed's injury. I would even prefer Hardy or Doucet over Kelly.
Peter Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Has Oklahoma had their pro day yet? How does Kelly compare.. I dont think he ran at the combine. Oklahoma had their pro day. Kelly was there but did not participate. I believe that he is scheduled to have his own pro day on April 8th or 9th.
Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 The fact that he even ran impresses me. I don't care that he ran slower times than the combine. The fact that he didn't sit on his awesome combine times says a lot about his character. I liked Sweed before. I like him more now.
BillsD#1in2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 ya but Sweed ran a 4.5 that is really slow!
John from Riverside Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Sweed is growing on me as well.....the thing that I like most is I keep hearing that he is humble and hard working...... he sounds a lot like Poz in this regard......and the locker room presense of these type of guys really helps in other ways and not just in on the field production. If we need a big target WR to go opposite Evans.....this may be our guy.
Stl Bills Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 ya but Sweed ran a 4.5 that is really slow! No its not, Bernard Berrian ran a high 4.5s or low 4.6 at the combine and that dude gets deep all the time. Its a 40 time, who gives a sh--.
dubj04 Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I've ben waiting on this topic, I agree that Sweed is the way to go. Hardy wouldn,t hurt my feelings either.
