ax4782 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 He has size, speed, and good hands. I think that his character issues must be a non-starter or the Bills would not have taken him. We're doing pretty good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're doing pretty good so far. 6' 7" WR that can run and catch and was productive in a big college conference... I'll take it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ax4782 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 And you were pushing to reach for a WR at #11! Now 2 needs have been filled in a major way. Your definition of reach and mine are clearly different. I think Thomas is better than many people suggest. I had a chance to watch every game the kid played this year and he was top 15 talent. He wasn't picked there but it wasn't much of a reach. That being said, I did think that we should have taken a WR, but I don't think anyone could have said with a straight face that so many of the top WRs would still be left on the board at #41. Kelly and Manningham could fall to the third round. Still, we have done very well so far. I do like the McKelvin pick, just thought there was a deep CB class and could get a good value in the second. They, however, went much faster. It's all about how things play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the talent dropoff among the top 6-8 cornerbacks is far greater than the talent dropoff among the top 6-8 WRs. That's why the prudent choice was to address cornerback first and keep your fingers crossed that one of the receivers would fall to our laps. As it turned out, it worked out better than any of us imagined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can finally get back to the Playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 6' 7" WR that can run and catch and was productive in a big college conference... I'll take it... 6'7"? Did Hardy grow two inches today? Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
