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

      Thin sliced roast beef, provolone, and roasted bell peppers on a toasted sub roll.  At least one thing is going right today. I don't trust anyone who's never put Bugles on their fingertips to make witch fingers.

      But yeh,  Bryce is the only problem on this sorry excuse of a team. You could put Tom Brady on this team and we would still suck . Worst part is Tepper and his various band of clowns have been trying to build a competitive team for 7 freaking years and are no closer now than when it all started.

      Bryce Young Is a Symptom, Not the Disease

      Regardless of the trade and where he was picked, Bryce actively created deception. He wore a hoodie to the combine and was 15 lbs heavier because he packed on water weight because he didnt weigh near 200 lbs. He didn't participate in drills in a wide open 4 way, really 3, QB bid. Then there was all this hype over the S2 test that he had been practicing that we've never heard about in the draft process since. Does anyone think it was an accident Stroud's score on the S2 was released? Stroud said forget the score, watch his tape. Wonder why. There was a whole bunch of shady poo going on surrounding Bryce pre draft, and I for one, find it all a little too convenient.  Just my opinion, but he was a used car salesman that used some armor all and a wash n wax and maybe a set of white walls then schmoozed his way at dinner with Dave and Nicole and sold them that he was a super savant.  There was a whole lot of BS swirling around the BY hype train and he was a full fledged participant. Frank didn't want Bryce, he wanted Stroud. A new head coach does not pick a QB he has to go design a brand new offense around unless that guy is a generationaltalent, which Bryce was most definitely not. He picks the guy that best fits what he does and that was Stroud. This was Dave and Nicole's pick and they fuged this team like they've done over and over again since they've been here. They fell for use car salesman Rhule, then used car salesman Bryce and company. And the fans got stuck with the 4 years of payments on a car less reliable than Al Bundy's Dodge.
