Acompany all those measurables with his 28 ypr in college and this guy has everything us skins fans want in a #1 WR!
1. Big, physical, jump ball redzone target
2. Speed, create seperation at the line, take the top off of defense
3. Demand double teams while forcing one on ones for our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th guys.

He's a workout warrior for sure. My concern with him is lack of experience since all GT does is run the ball. On the pro level, that translates to the question of how quickly he can contribute. That said, someone may reach a bit (Patriots?) and snag him late 1st....

GM, don't mean to burst your bubble, but my uncle coached Chris Carter at OSU, and he tended to emphasize the run. Statistically he was close to 50/50 with regards to the run/pass ratio, but with Keith Byars at RB, he ran first, passed second. My point is if the man has the tools all you have to do is coach him up a bit. He could be the next TO for all we know.

first off, he probably won't be there in the 2nd.

second off, he has so few catches and game film. Is he a workout warrior or a football player that didn't get thrown to cause of a crappy offensive system or both?

No way is any team going to be dumb enough to go darius hayward bay/Craig Davis/Instert another name on this guy. He's clearly not good enough to be picked in the top 2/3 of the draft and nobody picking in the bottom 1/3 is dumb enough to waste a pick like that.

While I'm aware that we no longer have our second, I'd still like to point out that I think you're nuts. The kind of size and speed he has you can't teach plus, according to Mike Mayoch:

After studying all of Stephen Hill's film, NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock is "less concerned" about the Georgia Tech wide receiver's drops and route running.
"He's a hands snatcher," said Mayock. "He had five or six drops [at Georgia Tech] ... but when you watch him catch the football, it's so natural." For a bigger receiver, Mayock determined that Hill was "really good" getting in and out of his breaks at the Yellow Jacket's Pro Day. Mayock suspects Hill will be a late first-round pick, and an "early two" in a "worst case" scenario. Mar 6 - 5:53 PM

Not to mention the fact that GT wideouts have been pretty decent lately when you consider Calvin Johnson, who is arguably the best in the game and Demaryius Thomas who is developing into a big time weapon. A late first or early second round selection for Hill sounds perfectly reasonable based on potential, especially for a team that has the luxury of selecting due to no pressing needs. We obviously are not that team nor do we have the second rounder to make it happen, but nevertheless...

I would go with Stephen Hill from what i understand we where talking to him prior to the combine, so interest must of been there already IMO.

[joeyt56]

I dont think Hill will last until the 2nd either but he was listed in the beginning of the thread and there is just as much chance of him falling to the high 2nd as Wright. I know his body of work is limited but so was Demarius Thomas and that kid really started hitting his stride towards the end of the year. You cant teach height nor speed and this dude has both! You can teach route running and technique which this kid may need. I do believe most of us want to draft the future QB in this draft and if we do lets draft a potential stud to grow with him who just so happens to have combine measurables comparable to Marques Colston and Kenny Britt. Ill take it all day if he falls!!!

NFL.com news: Workout wonder Hill suddenly under the scouting microscope

Great read on my boy!!

1. Stephen Hill- Although he is a lock for the Patriots IMO, I'll play your game
2. Juron Criner- Senior with size and skills
3. Ryan Broyles- A beast who was injured late in the college season. Will be a steal in the 4th or 5th round.

Yep. We're looking at him supposedly in the 4th 5th range anyway.

Yeah read something on the internet about him don't you think he could be another MK for a 5th it would be good.

[sdskinsfan2001]

Juron Criner - excellent production, great route runner, catches the ball in traffic, had a great senior bowl, is 6'4 215 lbs. Closest to a sure thing to be successful in the NFL as we will find outside of Blackmon/Floyd. (closest to, not saying he is a lock to be successful)

[Chief X_Phackter]

Don't have to worry about WR in the second round now...hopefully fill that need in Free Agency.

Doubt they will try to move back in the 2nd for a WR...

[SFREDSKIN]

I say trade the 3rd, one of the 4th rounders and add Hall to move into the 2nd round and pick a CB, S, OL or WR whatever looks best in that round.

[Ruhskins]

We need to change the title of this thread to say third round.
