We took Vince at #3(I'm not really sold on him as a QB, but he is a great athlete, can he read a defense?) and then the likes of Sinorice Moss, Lawrence Maroney or even Kiwianuka or Tamba Hali were sitting there in the second round? what then do we do? Moss is the kind of player Chow's offense is geared for(quick, catch and make people miss), but then we are looking at a solid, very productive running back, and two stud DE's. do we go in another direction and take NEED and clearly reach back to pluck a safety, or do we take the best player no matter of position on the board? Just wondering, doing some mock draft research.
Kiwi wont be there, Moss could be there in the second though. We dont need another WR drafted that high, we have much more pressing needsJwill1919 said:

That's why the title says, HYPOTHETICALLY. What would you do if those 4 guys were there, take one or reach, that's what I'm asking.
Moss is being projected in the first round
and he's 5'8" .... a little short by NFL standards

He may be short, but I've seen him play. The kid can catch. And he went to the U.
Santana Moss is 5'10, Steve Smith is 5'9. just because they're short doesn't mean they can't play, they can be very productive and gamebreakers with their speed and most of all their quickness. No prototypical players here.
let me put a different spin on it then .....
he's the shortest WR in the draft
he's the shortest WR in the draft
santonio holmes would have something to say about that.Jwill1919 said:

If you are talking about size, I will always prefer to have a Derrick Mason in my team than a Calico, size is not everything in this game, it helps but is not everything, If you have talent, courage, heart and balls you can play football.
There are comments in this thread about size, and the best receivers right now in football are Santana Moss and Steve Smith both below 6 feet.
I think we've all agreed that we would rather have a football player than a prototypical player. that's good.
We have also deviated from the main topic of this thread, what should we do if those 4 players were available at our 2nd pick and should we take them or reach for need at other positions?

If Hali was on the board that late, we would grab him in an instant I would hope.
height shouldn't matter at WR.. i.e. Steve Smith is 5'9'' and had to be triple covered in order to be stopped.. however, i def. believe that if hali was around in the 2nd round we should take him over moss... i think def. is more of a concern.. but then again i'm an Idiot

ok, back on topic
all 4 are projected 1st Rounders
if one happens to fall to us then they are worth a look
especially Kiwi .... but he should be WAY gone
with our second, i'd like to see Ko Simpson or Darnell Bing
we need to be thinking Safety Day 1

So, you are saying reach for need as opposed to taking a higher ranked player?
