Will Armanti Edwards beat out Bruce Nelson as our worst 2nd round pick ever?

[charlottenian]

So far IMO Nelson is the worst second round pick I can think of to date.... I get the feeling that the second round pick that will likely be VERY high that we gave to the Pats for Edwards will take the crown.

[Jase]

This is all just an elaborate ruse. Armanti is feigning talentlessness so that he can wow us all in week 1 when it really matters.

[/blind denial]

[Wither]

No. His 2nd game. Major change of position. Anyone who expected him to do anything magical this season is delusional.

[Brandon]

Way, way too early to jump to any conclusions. Remember when a lot of people were freaking out over Thomas Davis?

[PandaMan]

His ST performance today was horrific, but his WR performance was much improved from last week (he caught all passes thrown his way today I think, not 100%). It was his 2nd game in the NFL. Major change of position like Dockery said. I know a lot of people are saying give the guy some time to develop and I know it becomes repetitive, but really... give the guy some time to develop.

[Dpantherman]

moving in 3..2...1... in all seriousness though, another Armanti thread?

[replive]

He's a third rounder...

[Sam Mills Fan]

They should let him play some quarterback in preseason. He honestly can't be that much worse at quarterback at this level than receiver/returner...right?

That's because he was an awful safety.

[KillerKat]

Still think Rashard Anderson was the worst atm.

[AceMan]

Nah, he still has time. But if we put him on the PS or IR him...then we can start putting him in the discussion. I think we all figured out he is just not a KR/PR. He still has a chance at WR.

I figured it would be moved too.

I couldn't watch the game tonight, but could someone elaborate on Edwards' play as a WR tonight?. I felt as though last week he played ok, didn't stick out as good or bad, and the kid has some athleticism.

If he doesn't work out at PR, then so be it. He was drafted here for receiving purposes. He's right in the dog fight with every other WR. He certainly hasn't separated himself and secured a roster spot, but he hasn't truly been a disappointment at the receiver position. The FO knew it would take time, we as fans need to be reasonable.

He has his work cut out for him, and once he gets a season or two under his belt to mature and truly understand the game as a WR, then we will know if Armanti is the worth a 2nd round pick.

Edwards looked ok at WR. He didn't get many looks, but he caught everything thrown his way (did well to hang on after being rocked by a defender). He was awful at PR though. Muffed TWO punts.
