Every year it's the same story. Some guy all of a sudden becomes a great prospect in the off season when they bust a huge number on the track. <br /><br />How did they play during the season and over the last 3-4 years? Do they get the job done when it counts? That's what I want to know. Then I'll take a look at how fast they can cover 40 yards in shorts.

Lots of WR were tearing it up...<br /><br />"WRs put on a track meet... The receiver corps put on a tremendous display of speed this weekend on Indianapolis' reputed slow track with 40 clockings that included just under 4.35 by Tim Carter of Auburn, 4.33 by Kansas State's Aaron Lockett, 4.39 by Javon Walker of Florida State, 4.40 by Cliff Russell of Utah, and 4.42 by Andre Davis of Virginia Tech."<br /><br /><a href="http://gbnreport.com/index.htm" target="_blank">http://gbnreport.com/index.htm</a>

I agree. If speed were everything Albert Connell and Terry Glenn would be headed to the Hall of Fame instead of oblivion <img border="0" title="" alt="[smile]" src="smile.gif" />

I'll drink to that BullDog. <img border="0" alt="[Cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/cheers.gif" /> <br /><br />Speed is NOT everything.

But if we are looking for a talented guy w/speed... there are a few of them out there this year...

there are two receiver to keep your eyes on if the Skins don't move up to take Harrington and you know what school they played for <img border="0" title="" alt="[big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />

Jabbar and Javon.<br /><br />Lelie could be the wildcard if he shows preceide route running.<br /><br />Bryant's stock suffered because of bad 40 times

Speed and separation are two different things. Rod Gardner is not the fastest guy but he can get separation. Art Monk had a great knack for separation. That is what will be successful in Spurrier's offense.<br /><br />That said, the WR that can create separation as well as any of the others in the country is Josh Reed who is definitely NOT a speed merchant. He does possess upper body strength to get off the line, runs good patterns, and being a former RB, runs well after the catch.<br /><br />If Spurrier has wood for a WR in the first round, Reed is a guy I'd love to have.
