PACK WILL DRAFT WHICH QUALITY WR IN DRAFT?

[ND72]

All I see is people talking about is Wrs and Rbs, but if am TT I thinking about Amobi Okoye. He would complete our d-line and would be a force for at least the next ten years. Am actually older than this guy and I just turn 20 a couple months ago. Okoye can only get better with age and that is scary considering he's only 19. I want him over Lynch, Bowe, or even Landry in the first.

I'm hoping he's there when we pick, and I hope TT would take him.

I've loved this kid for a while now....just didn't know what TT's thoughts would be towards him.

[ND72]

Let me rephrase....If we go offense, I like Ginn and Lynch...if we go Defense, I think I'd prefer a DB, but I love Okoye...have all season long. He can play DE or DT.

wtf Greg Olsen runs a faster time then Bowe...

[Bretsky]

Olson is separating himself as the only first round worthy selection.

I watched him on the college football all star competition.

Displayed great hands and caught the fast balls with ease.

Meecham was the only receiver who beat him in that category.

Also Top hat did sidney rice work out?

Thanks for posting the info

TT will take this guy in the 2nd round.

Aundrae Allison
WR, East Carolina

War Room analysis
Hands: Catches nearly every pass thrown his way, but tends to use his body to catch passes within his frame. Will jump to body catch slightly high throws. Shows the hands, coordination and body control to catch off-target passes. Grade: 8.0

Patterns: Is deceivingly good. Doesn't explode off the snap, but is quick in routes. Is smooth and fluid; gets in and out of breaks quickly to separate. Is nonchalant at times, but still gets open. Grade: 8.0

Run after catch: Is elusive and productive. Makes would-be tacklers miss in the open field. Shows the strength and balance to absorb a hard hit and keep on going. Runs through arm tackles. Grade: 7.5

Release: Gets moving quickly when unchallenged. Gets into his route quickly, reaches full speed and is on top of a cornerback in a flash. Does not use his hands well to escape jams; can be jolted and slowed. Must be much more aggressive with hands to gain a quicker release against physical cornerbacks. Grade: 6.5

Blocking: Gives a good effort, usually eliminating his man. Is not aggressive, but gets in the way on crack-back blocks. Grade: 6.5

Bottom line: Allison is faster than he appears and rarely gets chased down. He will move way up draft boards because he will run a great 40-yard dash in pre-draft workouts. However, he is not an elite receiver or a first-round pick. He fits best in the second round. In time, Allison should develop into a good No. 2 receiver who stretches the field.

Also Top hat did sidney rice work out?

yes he did, i had him running a 4.52 on his first run, and missed the second run. that was the unofficial time they gave on tv

[Partial]

I'm gonna go with Meachem. Great height (6'2 even) and size (214 pounds) (both numbers courtesy of the combine) for the west coast offense. Has great speed, 4.36. Can catch, didn't drop a ball in the all star challenge that aired today. And still has room to improve, being that he came out as a junior.

Dwayne Bowe would be next on my list, followed by Ginn, Rice, and Jarrett.

He is gonna be like Jwalk. Very, very good player.

[Joemailman]

meachem, after today

jarrett is ungodly slow if he can only run in the 4.7's

just like i came away today with negative thoughts about russell, i also have negative feelings now for ginn. there he stood right next to russell, with a cell phone hanging around is neck, and giant ear phones on the whole time.

this is the combine, even if you aren't doing anything, you should still listen and learn something, and leave your god damn phone in your room for a couple hours.

When did Jarrett run a 4.7? I thought he wasn't going to run because of a groin injury.

i think they said during the telecast today that he was going to run and was getting ready to do it by working out at a camp, but was only able to get down into the mid 4.7's. so he decided not to run at the combine

i'm pretty sure they were talking about him, about 90% sure. they talked about a lot of guys today lol

[Partial]

Ouch, 4.7 is bad when you know the guy has been working on his speed, jumping and agility for the past two months. Damn.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Jarrett said in an interview on the NFL Channel today that he isn't running until USC's Pro Day.

FYI: HW, FRITZ, BRETSKY, FANS...

FF NEWS FROM COMBINE:

Jarret skips 40, would have posted over 4.7?

Dwayne Jarrett skipped the 40-yard dash at the combine today. Rumors are swirling that he was running the 40-yard dash in over 4.7 seconds at pre-combine workouts and that was the reason he didn't run today. If true, it would be a blow to Jarrett's stock. No one expected him to have one of the faster 40-times, but a 4.7 would be slower than any receiver at the combine. A slow 40-time would worry NFL scouts that he'll have difficulty getting separation in the NFL. He'll workout at USC's Pro Day, but the numbers he puts up there will be discounted by scouts. Pro Day workouts, especially USC's, are notorious for improving 40-yard dash times. They typically have faster tracks, and more favorable conditions then the combine.


FF SCOUT'S REVIEW OF RM:

Robert Meachem WR 6'3 210 Tennessee Jr. Meachem was a big time recruit in 2003 that injured his knee and redshirted his first season in Knoxville. His first season on the field in 2004 showed his big play ability. He caught 35 passes for 459 yards and four touchdowns. His numbers were similar as a sophomore, where he caught 29 balls for 388 yards and two touchdowns. Meachem broke out as a junior, finally living up to the hype he had coming to Tennessee. He was named to various All American teams after hauling in 71 passes for 1,298 yards and 11 touchdowns. Robert Meachem is the total package at wide receiver. He has an excellent frame. He is tall, but has a solid build and the strength to overpower corners. He has shown the ability to be an intermediate and red zone threat with his combination of size, strength, and athleticism. What makes him stand out though is his ability to move and make plays with the ball in his hands. Meachem has very good speed, and has the quickness to change direction and make defenders miss.
Meachem has had only one year where he did what was expected. He’s had issues dropping passes in the past, and has had problems believing in his own ability. He appeared to mature as a junior, and the result was an excellent season. He still will need to show that he’s ready to work and can sustain his confidence at the next level. This is turning out to be a very deep draft for wide receivers, and Meachem is a part of that. With his combination of talent, he could be taken anywhere in the draft. It may be tough to overtake guys like Dwayne Jarrett and Calvin Johnson, but once workouts come around, do not be surprised to see Meachem land somewhere in the first round.
