Larz Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 still too early we need to see what the need list is in april Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdropOFvenom Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm still a little skeptical of someone whose draft stock is almost entirely based off of his measurables since we know he wasn't much of a Football player at Maryland. At least certainly not worth a 1st round pick there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rillo Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Not another 'work out warrior'.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed3 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 At 6'3, 215 with 4.3 speed, who cares if he has hands, right? That's like asking 6'4, 256 with 4.6 speed to tackle someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is Gholston was an excellent college player with Top Measurables. DHB caught for all of about 600 yards last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'd be tempted by him but he has a lot of Troy Williamson features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be tempted by him but he has a lot of Troy Williamson features. You have to have watched DHB play in order to know what type of receiver he is. I understand the trepidation this forum would have with another workout warrior, but he's more than that. I've be touting this kid for a couple years now, so I've seen my fair share of games. On of my best friends also goes to the school at MD, so I've gotten the privelage of seeing him live. The arguments for him, i'm sure everyone's heard them, but I'll just rattle off a few. He played in a primarily rush-oriented offense, with very inconsistent, at best, quarterback play. For whatever reason they didn't target DHB enough and the headcoach even admitted so. Even if you go to his highlight reel you see a player who has not only speed but good hands. The ball never gets into his body and he's made some acrobatic catches as well. If you go and watch his performance at the gauntlet you see how good his hands really are. He attacks every ball and never lets them get close to his body. I will admit that I am biased, because I've wanted him for a couple years now, but atleast that's my argument for him. Besides having blazing speed, good height, 38.5" vert, good change of direction he's a willing blocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJ667 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 taking someone like him is just too much of a risk in the first round, someone with that kind of talent should have produced much more in college. Kenny Britt didn't have the best quarterback throwing to him, and he just about doubled DHB production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Britt didn't have the best quarterback throwing to him, and he just about doubled DHB production Well, they were both 2nd-round grades in my mind before the combine... and now DHB has moved himself up into the first round. I wouldn't mind the kid on my team... but I wouldn't expect him to come in an pay immediate dividends. Most WR's take 3 years to develop, and that's if they are seniors.

Most WR's take 3 years to develop, and that's if they are seniors. exactly, that's why when you take a first round pick you want them to make an impact in the first year. Heyward bey probably isn't ready. I believe Britt and Nicks are. if they don't take a receiver in the first round Deon Butler from penn state would be a solid pick in the later rounds. he's very fast, ran a 4.38, i believe, and has great hands, saw them at the skills competition on espn. Butler might be the perfect complement to Cotchery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 DHB's big, fast, a willing blocker, and he's willing to be more than just a deep threat. That said, I think Crabtree, Maclin, Nicks, Britt, and even Harvin will go before him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
