Promising WR in supp. draft?

I just threw out the idea for discussion, a 4th or 5th rounder may be worth it for someone with huge upside potential. Plus, we'd sign him for cheap. Given our luck with draft picks in later rounds, I really don't think its much of a risk.

Actually, in the brief time Lesnar was in the Vikes camp, they had him playing DE. Doesn't matter, he didn't impress them enough to make it to the practice squad.

The fact that some columnists say this guy was a great recruit some years ago is hardly something worth an NFL team's concern. Remember Ron Paulus? He was touted as being a QB who would win TWO Heisman's. Last I checked he won ZERO and was a clipboard holder in the NFL for a year or two and is now hardly a "hot commodity". In fact, I think he was not even a starter in his senior year in college; so much for #1 recruits...

This guy is 6' 3" tall and weighs 214 lbs. I guess I'm supposed to be impressed by that but iI'm not. If that's what floats your boat, you can probably pick up Kwame Brown for a song and he's 6'11" and weighs 270.

I don't know squat about the guy so I'm not saying anything other than workout stats and height aren't enough to convince me to give up a draft pick (we already lack our 1st and 4th next year). I defer to the coaching staff. I can guarantee you they're exploring all available WRs.
