If you really believe what you posted, then you must not have watched Jarrett play much. He's an OUTSTANDING WR and was USC's "go to" guy. Unbelieveable catch after unbelieveable catch. I'd bring him here in a heart beat. I watched him in college and I thought he was way overrated. He seemed big and slow to me. I was right. From the Great Blue North Draft Report : Dwayne Jarrett's rather pedestrian 40 times (4.64, 4.65) at his Pro Day workout yesterday have some people putting a second-round grade on the USC wideout. Those times were much slower than the 4.4 that fellow WR Steve Smith turned in at the Combine and slower even than LB Dallas Sartz's 4.58 and DL Travis Tofi's 4.57 yesterday. Jarrett's pass-catching workout wasn't smooth, either. His cuts weren't nearly as sharp as Smith at least one scout said Jarrett looked stiff. So Jarrett's final draft grade is going to be hard to slot. His production and numbers are impressive and he certainly is a great target but those speed numbers and less-than-impressive workout after foregoing the Combine is sure to raise red flags.He followed that up with a stellar 6 catch season at Carolina. They need wrs too, Keary Colbert started in front of him and Jarrett was inactive (coaches decision) for much of the year. I know, let's sign Charles Rogers!

Something we havent had in years in a Jets uniform. IMO, you don't stretch the field with YAC. You do that before the catch by scaring the D about the deep ball. How will Jarrett do either of those things when he is slower than the defensive linemen? Remember, those times were from his pro day on a fast track. If you are right, I'm not the only one that has to learn the game, because the guy only managed six catches for the Panthers. I'm sure they wanted some more out of him. I hated him as a prospect coming out and I hate the idea even more now. I'm sure some day he might morph into a big slow posession wr, like a Joe Jurevicius, but we need somebody that is ready for prime time NOW and he is not.

shawn306 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 This kid was ripped by Steve Smith for not even knowing the playbook. His season was such a waste that not only did he not play alot, he was declared inactive for much of the season. Meaning he didn't even dress !! He was probably the biggest waste of a high draft pick last year. He has Mike Williams written all over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 When I saw the title of the thread, I thought "Wow where's he been?" I didn't hear of him at all last year. I guess nobody did. I liked the kid at USC, and thought he was drafted at about where he belonged. Thought he was slow, but had great hands. The 6 catch season raises some real red flags. Many games he was inactive. That means he was probably the 5th best receiver on the team. I don't care about his DUI, stuff happens. I do care that he only had 6 catches on a team that seems to need WR's. Something's going on there. No way I would give up a 3rd or 4th. (particularly a third, we don't have one) I'd talk to the kid, if he had some kind of story, and seemed like he was going to work hard, I'd surrender a 6th. If he sucked, or had a major attitude in camp, cut em'. Wouldn't cost much. Bonus paid by the Panthers. Kid does have great hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterNorth09 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Jarrett is just too slow to play in the NFL. It's a shame because he isn't a waste of space like Mike Williams - he actually wants to be good. On a side note I always found it funny that this guy did the ultimate FU to Rutgers University. He was an all-american at Tony Montana Memorial High School in New Brunswick, New Jersey - basically played in the Scarlet Knights backyard as a kid - and he decides to travel 3,000 miles to play at USC instead of staying home.

Matt39 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I was always confused as to why people felt Jarrett was better than Steve Smith at USC. It was blatantly obvious to me who was the better player and who was going to be the better pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
