BALLz Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I know a lot of people have liked the idea of drafting this guy on the second day of the draft, whether it be for his skills or his name. Some even hope to draft him in the 6th or 7th round. Well, you can scratch the idea of spending a late second day pick on him after his pro day. Marcus Monk Pro Day Statistics were not released at the workout, but NFL.com reported Monk with better-than expected numbers. He ran two 40-yard dash attempts in 4.43 and 4.41 seconds, plus a 36-inch vertical jump and 10-foot, 2-inch long jump............... .................Beyond just putting up impressive numbers, Monk, 6-5, 215, looked sharp in agility drills and when running routes. Monk looked sharp when making his cuts. He had limited mobility and agility late in the season while attempting to come back from the injury he suffered in two-a-days.

cphil006 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 If we go OL in first round, I say take him in sencond or third. If we go WR in first round, take Monk in second day first pick. heck, just draft him in the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phishisthegreatstuff Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 theres no way this guy goes later than the 3rd round. Hes was a good college player and has great size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COWBOY-KILLA- Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Good for him, he was a stud his Jr. season in a running offense. If we had a fourth it would be perfect, Guess we have to hope and pray he's there in the 5th cause I would be a little surprised if we picked him in the third. Jordy Nelson fits the profile of production + measurables a little better for the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roborob132 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I would still take Sweed or Mario first simply because a KNEE is something you just never know about. Kelly is good too but, again, KNEEs.. Beleive me, I have had 3 ACL repairs and you just never know, some days will ache, some days will burn, some will be fine.. I would not EVER spend 1st 2nd or 3rd round pick on any player that has had KNEE problems. I know that some players can play through it but I also know that their longevity is questionable.

RDSKNfaithfull Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 If he is there for our comp pick I would consider him. Anything earlier than that is a reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Those are some pretty impressive numbers. His stock might rise a bit with that performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Are people into him because of his last name? He's not related to Art, right? Those are nice numbers, but isn't there anybody who did better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpath11 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 His numbers are not that impressive when you consider he ran indoors on a track. How many football games are played on that type of surface. At the RCA dome on FieldTurf (which most stadiums have) he ran a 4.59. I think his numbers from the combine are more reliable results due to the fact they were performed on a playing surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightbird Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 wowowo -- a 2nd round pick??? Ok I get it...he's "tall" and his name is Monk, so we simply must have him and allow him to become an NFL superstar as a Redskin. I'll say MAYBE look at him with our comp at the end of the 3rd. But really I think he warrants a 5th rounder if you consider his history and college production. He's not among the top 20 wide receivers in the draft, I don't care what the stopwatch says.

pvkeeper19 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I have liked Monk for a while now. The knee problems are a concern, though. Also, I am wary of a player whose stock jumps 3-4 rounds just because of his pro day. If he was projected in the 5th round (as I recall reading) and now he's being talked about as an early first day pick, that has "BUST" written all over it.

True, but when a receiver is a legit 6'5", he can usually afford to be a tenth or two slower. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but Doucet's pro day is today and he didn't participate at the combine. If he puts up good numbers he'll be an early 2nd rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDSKNfaithfull Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Sweed in round 1, Calais in round 2, Monk in round 3. I like Sweed but I wouldn't spend a 1st round pick on him his contract will be up by the time he grasps the West coast offense. and Calais is not making it to our pick in the secon round. Unless you are talking about our Comp pick that would be a huge risk on Monk. I wouldn't be upset if we used it but its still a reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
