You should add Mario Manningham to that list. I think he is the most complete WR out of anybody in the draft. He runs solid routes has great speed and good hands.

i Like manningham, also gotta look at Limas Sweed, and Adarius Bowman

We need a big physical reciever like Marshall from Denver.
Do any of these guys fit the bill?
If so I say go with whoever does.

Another guy that fits the bill is Lance Leggett. I bet none of you guys have ever heard of him but he has some potential. He was the top receiver coming out of high school but never really panned out in college. Part of that was Miami's QB problems though and he had some injury problems. He could be a nice pick in the 3rd or 4th round.

James Hardy WR, IND and Adarius Bowman WR, OKST are both playing on NFL network right now for anybody that wants to scout them.

Don't think too much about taking a WR in the first round....need a goog young Safety...........

How about a receiver that can catch the ball.
Forget about how fast he is, how tall he is, how well he runs routes, let's get a WR that can catch the ball.
It's 2008, it's time to try something new.

We have two good rookies who will be something. A rookie never
automatic star unless its Moss at the receiver position. If we get a guy it'll be in Free Agency. I'd be willing to bet anyone we're not drafting a receiver in the first. We just aren't.

A decent QB will make our WR corps better...
