Re: Something to Ponder -- 2001 WR draft picks
I can't believe joe horn fell to the 5th round the year he was drafted and donald driver went in the 7th!

Taylor Jacobs (105 yards a year) OR Anquan Bolden (1134 yard a year) we had our choice of WRs :/ 1996 is probably one (if not the) best WR drafts ever. 1983 was the best QB draft ever: (6 1st rounders, 3 became HoFers, and HC named gary kubiak was taken in the 8th round :P) |

Re: Something to Ponder -- 2001 WR draft picks
RG did have a 1000 yard season with us... it was always a bit of a mystery to me why he didn't pan out and become a better pro than he did. There's still time I guess.
You look at the guy and you just think, damn he's got the size and ability, what the hell is going on? He's a Westbrook Jr. without the punk attitude. |

Re: Something to Ponder -- 2001 WR draft picks
i think 1996 was one of the best wide receiver draft classes in history.

Re: Something to Ponder -- 2001 WR draft picks
WRs are the biggest unknowns. The position is so athletic that in college the best WRs are simply the most athletic guys who can just dominate over the mostly low quality secondaries.
But i the NFL the WRs actually have to have some intangible talents beyond simple athletic ability. I think these talents are highly "intangible" and hard to scout. |
