xxi-xxv Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Gut ran a 4.34 40! This guys speed is suddenly intrguing to me and "could" certainly compliment the larger WR's we have. Guy is lightning fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Grimes Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I'm not sure he will be around for our pick in the 1st round with this news, he could elevate to top 20 with the lack of WR's availalbe for this draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gateb Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I've been saying for a pretty good amount of time now that Moss is a guy that intrigues me. I'm not too willing to spend a first rounder on him but I would be willing to trade down like 10-15 slots, get some more picks, then draft him.

Money Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I'd love to get him but only in Round 2. Because of his lack of size and production, I don't think he's worthy of a 1st round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxi-xxv Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 I'd love to get him but only in Round 2. Because of his lack of size and production, I don't think he's worthy of a 1st round pick. Why I think he might be gone by then is very simple, the NFL is a copycat league, the league tends to try and copy other teams successful trends. Last year two of the best WR's in the game were Santana MOss and Steve Smith, 2 smaller guys who stretch the field. Factor in some small guys like Deion Branch and others and teams will trend towards that type player based on those guys success. For better or for worse for that reason Moss will probably be gone by round 2. I for one still am a believer in the big WR who can make a play as opposed to the smaller guy who can run by people. To a lesser extent we already have that type player in Taylor and possibly Carter if he returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much why I didn't make him the 2nd round pick in my mock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUND Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I would've liked to have seen Moss do more than simply run the 40. His speed was the one thing that really nobody doubted. However I would've been real curious to see how he reacted to the over the shoulder deep routes or running the gauntlet. Regardless, I tend to agree he'll go before our 2nd spot and shouldn't be on our radar in round 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlintm Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I think Chad Jackson and Santonio Holmes are much better, more complete receivers than Moss. All 3 will be gone in the first round or very early second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
