Sweed makes me look like a genius at Texas Pro day

To say he's not worth it I think is a bit of a stretch. I mean most draft "experts" and scouts have him as a top 20 pick. I understand that a lot of you don't like him for whatever reasons, but there's a reason that scouts love him. For all we know Sweed could have been working 24/7 on improving his game and some of the other receivers have slacked off since the season ended.

 

Since we've got some Longhorn fans on here, how'd little Griff do in in his workouts?

 

Scouts love him because he's 6'4 220 and ran fast in.....WORKOUTS.

 

You really think that they only look at combine numbers? You comment on how he's slow, how many texas games did you watch 2 years ago?

 

There seems to be this assumption that we have to have a speed guy. I want sweed because he is big, strong, and can go up and get the ball. He can catch a deep ball over a defender and would be a dangerous weapon in the red zone-and he runs well too. We need guys who can catch TD's. He is in the mold of a TO or Plaxico (not saying he will have that success, but that is the style of WR he is) and that is the kind of guy we need with the red zone brutality we showed last year. Get a guy who can run a fade and catch the ball in traffic. Sweed is that guy.

Griffin is not worth a draft pick.

 

Best body control, who said that?

James Hardy has better body control and is bigger, faster, and he actually played the whole year......16 tds did I mention that.

Devin Thomas can adjust to the worst of passed and snag them effortlessly.

I'm pretty sure DJ can control his 5'9 body better than Sweed as well.

Runs excellent routes.....umm going to disagree he needs considerable work in that area. Mannigham runs sharper routes in walk throughs than Sweed did on gameday.

 

Thing is - we already have a Justin Gage. Which is basically what you described.
