Habib1852 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Do we take Heyward-Bay if we can manage to trade back into the 20's. I know we need o and d-line more than anything and Idk if it is just my hometown bias of the guy but I have a really big feeling that he is going to be a great receiver in the NFL. He has the size of Fitzgerald and the speed of Santana. The terps did a terrible job of throwing him the ball. I know he has a lot to work on but who knows. If the Skins could get Raji at 13 then I'd prefer that. But if he's gone, we trade back and get a second rounder, and draft line in the second with Heyward-Bay in the 1st. It is still early and alot of what we will do depend on free agency...Just curious as to what ya'll thought about the possibility of taking him.

terrifNick21 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 No. I wouldn't spend a first round pick on another receiver. You can have all the receivers in the world, but if you don't have a line to block, it's pointless in having all the receivers cause they won't get the ball.

IbleedBnG83 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Heywood Bey has been reporting to be running in the 4.2's this last week during training. Thats the same as his freshman year and he has bulked up since then. He will be a star for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on that 100 percent..that is why i think my hometown bias is coming out of me..haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAC386 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yea I went to UMCP and I know the talent that he has, but I just can't justify spending a 1st round pick on him when we have needs at OL, DL, and LB. He is not that unlike Devin Thomas in that he is very talented but lacks polish at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightbird Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 As you wrote, they weren't able to get him the ball, and he didn't help them become a great team. So why should I assume that he would be able to instantly learn our offense and put up big numbers catching the ball from Jason Campbell, who of course will not be running for his life all day? We've cast our lot with the receivers we have. Big people please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm intrigued by Heyward-Bey as well but we have bigger needs. If we had more draft picks and hadn't selected a WR with horrible knees (Malcom Kelly :doh:),....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibbsforPrez Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I wouldn't want to draft him, but it sounds like you could be right about the fact that he may be a star. I went to VT and thought Eddie Royal was a beast, but we really never had anyone to throw him the ball. Look at how he did last year in Denver when given a chance. So I could see DH-B doing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HitStickTaylor21 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I think ay bay bay will be a stud and would love to have him if we can trade back to the late first and snag him, then use ALL of the extra picks on linemen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flycoach Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I like the scenario, but for that to happen, Vinny would have to admit he made a mistake (or two) drafting Kelly and/or Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetoaster Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have a feeling we will see about 20 similar threads by the end of April. Heyward-Bay is good, but he is not what we need at this point. I am not as certain as a lot of you that he is going to be a star either. I have a feeling that if he played for Nebraska, not many people here would be mentioning him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have a feeling that if he played for Nebraska, not many people here would be mentioning him. I can't speak for everyone but with the kind of speed that Heyward-Bey has, I would definitely be mentioning him. Regardless of where he played his college ball.

[[ghost]] Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 He has the height of Fitzgerald, but he doesn't have the bulk, balance, or hands that Fitz has. I don't blame you, I'm biased for DHB too. But after last year's draft, we can not draft a WR at all, unless a very very good WR drops so outrageously, at which point we'd just be going BPA.
