Kendall Wright rated higher than Blackmon?!

well, possibly...someone does

"Area scouts and sources" tell SI's Tony Pauline that "a lot of teams" have Baylor's Kendall Wright rated as the No. 1 wide receiver in the 2012 NFL draft.

"Several teams," including one NFC club currently in the playoffs, have Wright rated higher than Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon.

Blackmon is a favorite of media draftniks, but he only goes 6-foot-1, is likely to run in the 4.5s, and has a checkered off-field history. Wright will likely time in the low-4.3s and has drawn comparisons to Carolina's Steve Smith for his combo of vertical skills and physicality. With the Senior Bowl just over a week away, Wright may be a sleeper to be drafted in the top ten.

So maybe my mock isn't THAT much out of the realm of possibility

Kendall Wright would be WAY tempting in the 2nd if hes still on the board. Even though its not a position of dire need. If the sky fell along with Blackmon to #8 that would be the BEST problem ever. Get him (can we pass on him?) OR trade down. Someone would trade up for Blackmon at 8 (or 9), lots of talent.

if we can pull off a trade with cincy and get their two first rounders and we pick up a DT and a CB with them...i'd have no problem taking one of those three (blackmon, floyd, wright) or sanu with our second rounder.

none of that is happening, though.

hakeem nicks ran a 4.5 at the combine and outran the entire falcons defense last weekend

40 time is about as worthless as it gets as it doesn't even measure practical "football speed"

the size and speed concerns of blackmon remind me a lot about what people were saying about nicks, but at the end of the day a playmaker is a playmaker

    • Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?
    • Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.
    • Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
