NFL.com 7 Round Mock

Wheaton would be a good deep threat for Cams big arm. If we are certain that Gettis isnt coming back than I think it is a good pick.

Don't like Wheaton at all. Been watching his highlight reels and here's what I see:

• Strong preference for body catching. It looks like he only uses his hands when the throw over his head.
  
• He doesn't fight for the ball. He catches it when it gets to him. Let's see how well that works against an NFL CB.
  
• He does, however, like to push off. He's goona see a lot of yellow flags at the pro level.
  
• He looks awkward when he's running; very unnatural. He looks like Peter's brain damaged horse running the race.
  
• He's not eluding anyone. He's literally brought down the instant after he catches it.
  
• The main thing I see is he doesn't have any fight in him. He's the anti-Steve-Smith. I don't see him going up to contest any balls. I don't see him stepping up into a catch. In general, I don't see him winning any matchups against a NFL cornerback. If the ball comes to him, and it hits him in the chest, he'll catch it...and then go down or run out of bounds.
  

I try to be respectful of college athletes who play such a demanding position, and who work so hard at what they do, but seriously I can't remember ever being so underwhelmed by a WR prospect. If we take him anywhere before the 5th round, it would be a shame.

I am not counting on nor assuming Wheaton to turn out / be like Smitty.

Go ahead it you want to....

Wasnt what I was saying

While I'd LOVE a legitimate #1 CB on this roster, I agree with your point here. Now that you mention all the "jag CBs", it reminds me of Brandon Hogan. What is his status lately? Is there a chance of him ever seeing the field and contributing the way we had hoped when he was drafted?

We do not have a CB like Simon on our roster. Dude is 6'3 jacked and runs a 4.5

They're my top guys. Star always had and I've mentioned Vaccaro for a long time now. Had a hate/love relationship with Tavon at first but came to love him. My favorite guy is Vaccaro. I hope Star doesn't fall so Vaccaro can be our guy Thursday Night.

You came to love a 175 pound slot receiver who has almost no chance of making it through an entire season? Carolina Chuck for GM!!!

[nickzz]

Some of you guys get too irrationally attached to disliking a prospect. Every draft since I've been on this board there have been a fair number of people who will say "No he fuging sucks!" about whomever we choose in the first round, and invariably they're completely wrong once the season starts.

Take a year off from embarrassing yourselves and just enjoy the process and cheer on whomever we choose.

you're right, why do we bother having football debates with buddies when we can just sit back and watch?

derp

Good lord that looks like a Hurney draft...really hope it turns out better than that.

Ima laugh so hard when Tavon plays through a whole 16 gms season. Its so ridiculous when people throws crap like that out about someone before researching it first. Go research the last time Tavin missed a game. ClawOn not for GM!!

Even if I don't agree with ur opinion, that's a better thought out one than "he's 5'11 hell naw!!11!1!" so I respect it.
