So after Jeffery measured out yesterday I

don’t think he will make it down to us in the first. Wouldn’t be suprised if he is first receiver taken

by bantams28 on Feb 25, 2012 6:09 PM CST via Android app reply actions

Blackmon #1

I hope Sanu combine goes well. He’s highlight reel is a beast. I woulda if he can be that agressive on Sundays???

by KingLaBove on Feb 25, 2012 6:14 PM CST up reply actions 1 recs

Just saying.

Justin Blackmon officially measured 6-foot,7/8" and 207 pounds. Would be smallest receiver taken in top ten since Ted Ginn (2007).

Damn

Thanks for the info bro, I didn’t realize how short he was. The draft is deep this year with WR. I wonder if Jeffery, and Sanu are both off the board, who would Rick Smith and Special K draft?

Randle or Streeter would be next on my list

Streeter?

I wouldn’t take Streeter til mid second/early third…if I had to rank the WR’s in the draft

Blackmon
Floyd
Wright
Jefferys
Randle
Toon
Sanu
Hill (I want him in the second with a burning passion)
Streeter
Criner
Adams
Broyles

by BC5 on Feb 25, 2012 6:37 PM CST up reply actions

Depends how fast he runs

Some reports say he’ll run in the 4.3 range. That could make him jump up really high on the boards, especially if he looks good on the rest of his drills

No way Jeffery makes it out of the top-10.

Did you see how he measured? He jumped ahead of Blackmon in my opinion.

by bantams28 on Feb 25, 2012 6:56 PM CST via Android app up reply actions

No way. Blackmon is still ahead of Jeffery, but he might have fallen out of the top 10.

Blackmon looked small standing next to Marshall Faulk on NFLN. He is definitely not another A. J. Green, let alone another Megatron.

Broyles bench press drills has me intrigued, even though AllenOU’s obsession with all things Sooner has me lusting after someone from ANY OTHER SCHOOL.

If Smith and Kubiak stay true to BPA

I don’t think we get a WR in the first round. I think one guy who is going to fly up the boards by his combine performance is Zach Brown. Plus if we can’t keep Mario they will look for a pure pass rusher. I think we get our WR in the second.
