I think you put the Devin Thomas stats in there instead of Kelly's. | |

| Re: Picking Kelly over Sweed Kelly was the #1 WR on most rankings when the college football season ended. Then, somehow, through combine times and scores and rediculous media hype, he dropped down to anywhere between #3 and #8. His slow 40 time is not a big deal IMO. There are a ton of examples of WR's who ran slow times but had crazy successful carreers (hello - Jerry Rice?). His hands are phenomenal and he plays big in big games. I don't frankly care how blazing fast he is if he doesn't catch the ball effectively - it'd be irrelevant. He seemed very polished and articulate and intelligent during the news conference - and I think that's a sign of being mature. Seriously, when you think of all the "superstars" in the NFL, how many of them talk in horrible, ebonic english during press conferences or interviews? Not many at all. Leaders in the lockerroom need to be able to speak intelligently and clearly and smartly - if they want to be the face of the team. Kelly impressed me with all of this in his first press conference and i expect big things from him. I'm actually more excited about him then Thomas, who in my mind has much more question marks. |

Yeah, Kelly should have gone in the 1st IMO. We are lucky b/c now he cant demand 1st round money. I just hope Thomas doesnt think we will automatically be ahead of Kelly on the depth chart. It will be a battle.

Campbell must be feeling pretty pleased with the moves made in the draft as he has a hell of a lot a toys to play with now. He has got to be excited at playing in this offense. | |

| Re: Picking Kelly over Sweed Compares To: LARRY FITZGERALD-Arizona...Like Fitzgerald, Kelly takes advantage of his size and strength to break arm tackles rather than trying to get fancy with moves when trying to separate. Both have some of the best natural hands in the game, as Kelly was charted with only one dropped pass in the last two years. NFL Events: Draft Player Profiles - Malcolm Kelly

A nice big WR (6'4") and he actually catches the ball. We totally need that in Washington.

| Re: Picking Kelly over Sweed I think Malcolm Kelly can be a very valuable player for us for a long time and DEFINATELY seems to be a good value pick at 51. Problem is that his speed issues do prevent him from having the potential to develop into a top of the line receiver. Still, I'm happy we have him.
