  3. im glad we didnt do that, passing on a back that reminds people of Eddie and has the potential to be an All-Star back for a player that has Excellent Return Skills but no one really know what postition Hester will play. not to mention he is a project at whatever postion whether its CB or WR

    he actually reminds me more of Jerome Bettis
    except that I think he has better feet and possibly vision than Bettis

    Hester in the 2nd rd?

    As a corner prospect he was similar to wadell. Worthy of maybe a 4th rd pick. It was the return ability that moved him up but still seems like a major reach in rd 2.

    NFL draft countdown had him rated as their 20th best corner. Great blue north didn't even have him that high. There is a possibility he could have been a project contributor at WR. Good speed at 4.45 but not comparable to his team mate sinorice moss.

    Yikes!

    Edit note: He was considered the best return man in the draft.

    The comparisons to Waddell might be valid except Hester may have been more of an offensive threat. Still, quite a reach in the 2nd.

    White's work ethic also came into question.

    I am sure most of you watched the draft but they did a special on White at the end of the 1st round.

    If you heard his answers to the all important question: "why do you think that you have not been taken yet"

    A polite piss off came from his mouth.

    He is hungry to show every team that passed up on him exactly what they passed on. He could not have gone to a better team IMO. His first college coach, a shakey RB situation and not allot of media pressure like in NY, Phili or some place like that.

    What's interesting is that Waddell was regarded to be a fine return candidate but did almost none of it for us. I could be mistaken, but I think pretty early on in camp he was removed from return duties.

    I thought he returned a bit the season before last.
