Kelly was a more polished and productive WR coming out of college so he should be ahead of Thomas on the field. They both are going to be much improved and will make our passing game more potent.

Agree 100%, the 2008 draft they knew Kelly had a knee problem, that's why they took DT first they figured everyone knew MK has a knee problem so he will be there later so take DT know and MK later. I'm not trying to make an excuse for DT but i think they looked at it that way. JC threw balls at him prior to the draft so you know they wanted him.
