Awesome Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 This guy is a great prospect. Good size, 6-1, 175, great speed, crisp route running, great hands. He's got all the receiving records at Georgia. I haven't looked at any mock drafts, but I haven't seen him rated among the top three or four receivers. He would be a very good rookie addition to the receiving corps that shouldn't take a high first round. We could trade down, and get him along with a solid OG or DE/DT. Thoughts?

brandies Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 Early projected in the third or fourth round. If he falls to the fourth, would be a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzmuda Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 Great hands? Great hands?! Terrence Edwards has been personally responsible for at least 4 UGA losses in his collegiate career from dropped passes. I can't recall a "big-time" receiver who has dropped more balls than Jackie Sherril. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cskin Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 He also is reported to not have great burst off the line of scrimmage or out of his breaks. Yes, he's small... and does get open occasionally in Richt's system their at Georgia, but he's no real NFL talent. He's a system wideout at best, and a marginal one to boot. I say pass.....

ChrisFul Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 I wouldnt call him a system wideout. He's been in 3 different offensive systems his 4 years as a starter, and he's produced in all of them. He holds all the UGA recieving records and i believe is only behind Chris Doering and one other guy for SEC Recieving TDs in a Career. I wouldnt call him a great prospect, though. He doesn't have good size, and as someone said, his hands are suspect. I know I, along with many a UGA fan, have cursed him on several occasions for his "dropsies" since 1999.

Tarhog Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 If we're not going to go after a WR with barn burning speed, I'd much rather have Billy McMullen, Virginia. He's big, bold, runs a great route and rarely drops a pass. His 40 time won't blow your mind, but he is ALWAYS open. And we can get him in a later round.

cocodrilo Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 Hate to bring up a Gator name, but I'd take Taylor Jacobs over Edwards. If Spurrier were still at UF, Jacobs (with Grossman throwing to him) would have had a phenomenal year in 2002. Jacobs knows Spurrier's system and has the skills and speed to go with it at the pro level. He was stuck in a new system this year that could seldom even pass downfield. Whoever drafts him will have a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMADD Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 He would be a very good rookie addition to the receiving corps that shouldn't take a high first round. Are you kidding me? You want to burn a first-round on this bum? He shouldn't take a high FOURTH round pick. That said, I'd be thrilled if we did get him in the fourth.

Cskin Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 Speaking of Taylor Jacobs, anyone see that catch he made against Michigan. One handed, high in the air, between two michigan defenders. Wow....quite a play. I'd much rather see us pick him up in the second round and forgoe the 1st round WR all together....unless of course Rogers or Williams are there at #13. He brings speed, great route running and hands, and should make an impact in Spurrier's offense the first year because he's familiar with it. That would leave us with our choice of DT or DE in the first round, or trading down to the bottom of the first for an additional #2 or #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
