IMHO taking this fellow at #9 would be way too high. he reminds me some of ashley lelie, the denver wideout. he has turned into a fine wideout, but it has taken him the better part of 2 years to get there. taking him that high in this draft is foolish because he will not be productive for this team next year. much better to take a wideout a bit later in the draft. there will be guys in rounds 3-4 who could help us just as much as this guy will next year.

besides, i would far prefer to grab someone like givens, who will be a free agent after this year if the pats do not resign him. with all the depth they have at wideout (branch, patton, troy brown, bethel johnson and givens) someone of quality is going to get released. patton is cheap. brown can play corner and returns for them. branch has amazing speed as does bethel johnson. givens could be the odd man out. if so, someone is going to get a bigtime receiver. did you all hear this stat on him?? in his entire college/pro career he has NEVER lost a fumble. that has joe gibbs written all over it.

while we are at it, the only receiver i could see the skins taking at #9 would be mike williams. that is a guy who WILL be productive next year.
