1billsfan Posted March 21, 2008 Posted March 21, 2008 These are the numbers he put up last year as a Junior. 2007................ 12 games played, 75 catches, 1,226 yards, 8 TD's 80 yarder being his longest reception, 16.3 avg. per catch, and 102.2 yards per game. The kid is right at 6'2" tall and weighs 215 lbs. Who gives a crap if he played Junior College and then transferred. Is that somehow supposed to make him less of a productive player? Does is make his #'s worse because he's a "JUCO Transfer " ? NO. You're just in love with Texas and Limas Sweed. Get off of it. He is not the second coming of Randy Moss. Thomas will be a good WR and I think Sweed, Kelly, and Hardy will too. If we can trade down to increase our number of VALUABLE selections and still get Devin Thomas, I'd do it in a heartbeat. The Bills will not implode and move to Toronto if we don't take Sweed. Calm down dude, I think you need a I'm not interested in taking a player in the first round that only a month or so ago was a late 2nd to 3rd round pick. Fans and the media seem to be looking for things wrong with Sweed while they are swooning over Thomas for whatever reason. Call me crazy, but I'd rather put my money on the taller guy who played great for four years at the highest level. Not on a guy that only produced in his junior year after transferring from a JUCO college. If that doesn't bother you then that's fine, I'm just not looking for the "suddenly hot" prospect for that very important first pick. Taking Thomas over Sweed would be a definite head scratcher that would put the Bills decision maker's necks on the line. As a rule, you just don't draft late risers in the first round IMO.
BillsD#1in2008 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Posted March 21, 2008 Ok Sweed didnt produce for 4 years he was hurt for all of last year,can you say injury prone. Also Thomas hasnt had injury problems and last year was the year he had a chance to prove himself and what did he do,PROVED himself. Thomas would be a great fit here and i'd rather take him then Sweed who is from Texas,look what Mike Williams did and he was from Texas who had injuries, DONT DO IT! We take Thomas GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stroud for Pro Bowl 2008
