| Picking Kelly over Sweed Why do you suppose that the Skins chose Kelly over Sweed. Todd McShay had Sweed as the highest rated receiver on his board. They are similar in size but Sweed posted a quicker 40 time and doesn't have the knee injury history. I like Kelly now that he's a Redskin and also trust the Skins scouts picked the best player for the squad. Sweed was available at our pick so I was wondering what Skins fans thought about the Kelly over Sweed selection.

| Re: Picking Kelly over Sweed I think the biggest differentiator is Kelly's hands. He probably has the surest hands of any WR drafted. Sweed is the more explosive playmaker, but the Redskins have guys like that. What they need is the move the chains receiver who can consistently catch the ball with bodies draped over him going 9 yards over the middle on a 3rd and 8

| Re: Picking Kelly over Sweed I remember reading that Kelly only dropped one ball in his career at OU.

| Re: Picking Kelly over Sweed Even the people who have criticized him are saying he's like a Keyshawn Johnson clone. We could do a LOT worse than to have another Keyshawn sans the 'tude.

| Re: Picking Kelly over Sweed Sweed never seemed to get involved when Texas played ranked opponents. I mean maybe he would get a touchdown catch, but "maybe he would get" is not what you look for when you try and draft a game breaking reciever. Plus he only averaged 3 or 4 catches a game. Kelly seemed to have a better track record against ranked opponents.

| Re: Picking Kelly over Sweed yeah Sweed liked to drop balls and not only that but the Redskins spent alot of time with Kelly and I feel that they knew they were going after him from day one. We have good scouts and for some reason, Sweed didnt bait our scouts. I am excited about Kelly's hands and I think he will be good.

| Re: Picking Kelly over Sweed On Redskins Radio, they said worked out Kelly alot. They actually brought out Campbell and made him throw to Kelly, which is apparently rare for workouts. Campbell and Zorn liked his ability to catch the fade in the endzone and were not concerned about his speed.

That's a ludicrous statement: 2006 6 catches for 90 yards and 1 TD 2007 79 catches for 1260 yards and 8 TDs That's some year to year consistency for ya. | |
