At least it doesn't sound like something he can't come back from. Loyalty board says Weber asked if they wanted in, it was up to them, Henry chose not to. You still go in at that point, but it's nothing that's going to prevent him from coming back next year when Bruce is gone. and klee has these scout board monkeys all thinking that players are going to split if bruce is fired. it's the other way around
A big name expensive free agent WR and a middle of the 2nd round pick is very close to what we are talking about here. Dont' be fooled by the fact that costs have gone up since 2005. We aren't talking Randy Moss in his prime or any other hall of fame type WR. We are talking about very good, and expensive free agent WR and top draft choices being spent on WR because of a glaring and desperate need for WR. i would be surprised if we signed a big name FA wide receiver and then drafted a wr before the 4th round. Me too, but I'd take that up to 3rd round. I think top notch FA WR = mid round WR And 2nd tier FA WR = early round WR yeah, 3rd round is about right, like the second pick in the 3rd.

i was just about to post this. i hope that nelson kid doesn't get drafted and has to live in modesto forever. and howland is one weird [expletive]. i can't imagine that he'll be there much longer, that program needs an identity facelift. I'd really rather not compete with UCLA for a coach. i don't want stevens, which is who i'd think they'd go after

So if you run a sub-4.4 in the 40, then you're more likely to be fast in other football activities, but not faster at, say, the 20-yard shuttle than a "slow" runner is? this was one example, right? the term "more likely" doesn't mean "absolutely".
i never said that a faster runner is absolutely faster in all circumstances, you're putting words in my mouth. i said a fast runner is more likely to be faster in any situation. and regarding hill, i never said that he was going to be a good receiver. in fact, i made a point of saying that not all fast receivers are good ones and that the 40 is more of a way of uncovering weakness than strength.
You mean in college? How about because a lot of defenders in college suck? Its not like the guy is coming from Abilene Christian. There was plenty of talent to judge his performances against. Sure he will be slower relatively, everyone is. not everyone will be slow like he is though. and johnny knox actually has had some really good seasons if we can talk about guys who get by on pure speed.
and yet he ran like a slow receiver. we'll see what he does at his pro day, but he's likely out of the first round, which sucks for us because that means floyd is rising. he actually ran fast. Actually it may mean we pick this guy instead of Floyd, so you might want to think of reasons he'll be good in spite of the 4.6 time at the combine :) me thinking up reasons why he might be good won't make him good. and thanks for depressing me.

i watched him run live, the time that came back right away was 4.61. the 4.61 appears to have stood up against further review. it was his unofficial and official time. The first time he ran 4.45. I watched it live also. you must be thinking of the other wright. they list the fastest time.
all other things being equal, a good hitter is more likely to be good against any pitcher than an average to poor hitter. just like a fast receiver is more likely to be fast in any situation, like i said.
again, all good receivers are fast receivers, not all fast receivers are good receivers. there are a few exceptions over the years. the 40-yard dash separates the fast receivers from the slow receivers. someone will gamble on wright in the second round, and they will be sorry for it.
