true, but with all the playing time he got, I was suprise at how little production he had. As of now, I'm not to high on him, and I have Demetrius as the #3, with Clayton a #2 and Mason #1. We need a WR round 1 badly lol.

I dont remember any significant drops, I think he just had trouble getting open. We saw a lot of physical potential in him. Here is his scouting report from NFLDC of last year
Positives-Big strong, terrific ball skills and body control, soft reliable hands, adequate speed and quickness, decent after the catch. Is a fine blocker and still has upside
Weaknesses- Not very quick or explosive, may struggle to seperate, needs to work on routes, Not a finished product.
I think he can develop into a nice #4 possesion WR, but he did nothing as our #3, not even a catch. so don't count on him being a significant part in our passing game

I would be thrilled with this draft, getting 3 of my favorite players (Britt, Nelson, and Barnes) or the one Lordquas posted on the previous page (though I am not as high as most on Loadholt)

I really can't see us drafting a TE. We've already got 3 on the roster, I doubt we add another, unless we use Sypnewski as a HB/TE/FB kinda wierd hybrid.

ya I like Loadholt because he is enourmous and athletic. I think he would do good sitting behind Willie. But I think we can get 1 more year out of Willie then focus on RT next year. I amd really high on Ellerbe I think he can do well in our system. He is athletic mean and can blitz and can shed blockers well.
Also we get Flacco to legit weapons and a C that is like Matt Birk.

Quinn is the blocker, LJ is on a one year, and Heap has no long term value. Add to the fact that Ozzie wanted a TE early last year and didn't get it could easily = TE in rounds 1, 2, or 3.

that is my theory, but Heap is at the end of his career, LJ sucks and Quinn is a blocker. I think Cameron would want a legit passing option at TE like he had w/ Gates. I think Nelson does that, him or Cook would fit our team as a pure reciever better then Pettigrew.

No doubt, DWill is miles ahead of Smith as the #3 on the depth chart IMO.

does anyone have any faith in Smith becoming something? He didnt have a darn catch all season. Granted this was his 2nd or 3rd year at WR since he was a RB originally at college. he had that one OMG catch that was ruled incomplete against TEN. But I dont think we threw to him at all. I hope a coach can work on his routes so he can be open more.

I don't think he'll ever develop into a consistent reliable target. But, he's a good special team player and a solid blocker, so he should be able to stick on the roster and get some snaps in every game.

not a fan of Smith at all. He had way too much playing time and not enough production. I wish we used Todd Heap in the passing game as much as we used him. We use Heap is the wrong damn way!!

We really didn't have another option as far as keeping a blocking TE in. I think Wilcox was hurt, but he couldn't block anyways so Heap was our best option. If Sypniewski stays healthy this year, we should see Heap come back a bit, but I don't think he's ever going to be great again.

I still think he can be a reliable pass catcher for us. I know I'm in the minority here but if he wasn't asked to block so much his catching would improve dramaticaly.
