Welcome, Taariq!

I'd like to see another solid WR pick-up in this class.

Agreed, I am very happy to have Taariq simply because I see him as an unpainted canvas...our coaches can make him into whatever they want. But after today (when we land AG), Patrick Onwuasor is the guy I want most.

 
wow lionsfan you must think really highly of Patrick. I see guys still available like Todd Peat, Wayne Lyons, Charles Jackson, Keith Lewis and about five more DE's that we need. I would love to get him too but there are a lot bigger fish to fry at this point than WR. I think we HAVE to get a top tier DE in this class. We didn't get one in last years class and with Allen gone we'll have Ankrah, Meredith and Williams at the end spots. I haven't heard anything about the frosh that came in this last year but none of them were too great on film-I'm holding out great hope for Okuyemi though.

unpainted canvas? - Gilmore is far from an artist, he just smears around finger paint.

I'm not saying Gilmore, but our strength and conditioning coache are.

i expect vestal to be a good one. we do need to get at least one good end this year though, and two would be nice.

Agreed. We have, what, 6 spots left? Hobbi, Jackson, Peat Jr, Hayes, Adeyanju, and Onwuasor sounds about ideal to me.

 
Isn't a 29" vertical kinda low for a receiver? He has good size and decent speed,hopefully he has good hands.

But, when your 6'3" or 6'4" and going against DB's that are 5'11" or shorter you really dont need a 40 inch vertical.

Plus he looks like he has cornstalks for legs. Once we get some meat on him, his vertical will go up I'm sure.

P.S. I love the new updated most wanted

I do think of PO very highly. I see a playmaker in this guy. WRs, in my opinion, are the weakest part of our team. We seem to be turning this around over the last few seasons.
