Your a big INDIANA Backer and Everything for the HOOISER State ~ How could you forget the Extremely Tall 6-foot 7 inch 220-pound Talented WR named James Hardy...?!? Kellen Lewis & HARDY were great 1-2 combo in the aerial attack this past season and I have to think that HARDY will become a very pro @ the next level in the NFL either as a TE or WR. Gives you some flexibility with whoever selects him in the draft with whatever pick/round - I'm guessing 2nd round, but the Combine will CHANGE that like it always does for the good or for the bad... Hardy is an INTRIGUING Prospect @ WR to say the least and I really think he can be what he was at Indiana U. He will become an Impact player somewhere along the lines of a Vincent Jackson-type player. Maybe a Burress...

I definetly would draft Desean Jackson with a top 15 pick. I disagree with ya'lls opinion on Limas. I'm a Texas fan and been one since I was conceived. Limas is trash, we joke here in Austin when we play football that if one drops the ball we all clown that person calling him Limas. Limas got lucky and that was all Vince on that pass in the OSU game. Limas proved he's not NFL worthy in his senior season. The Texans better not think Limas in Rd 3.

I'd RANK LSU's Early Doucet a little bit higher because of his Productivty throughout his collegiate career and for big game contributions for the Bayou Bengals. Though for his downside - he was injured and missed a good bit of time this past season. Hopefully Limas Sweed (GW TD Reception @ OSU in NC Title Run in '05), Adarius Bowman, and DeSean Jackson show the CONSISTENCY to be a successful WRS @ the NEXT Level, as they did not show me much towards that department at the College Level. So MUCH Talent, SPEED, and Skills for this TRIO of Explosive Playmakers... Let's SEE if they can play better in the NFL then they did in College. I expected more outta 'em and they better IMPROVE & make their STRIDES on SUNDAYS ~ Or Else they will be KNOWN for Underachieving rather than Overachieving. Known as "what should and coulda been" - not reaching their FULL Potential, using their "GIFTS" to become All-Pro WR'S - as All 3 can be DIFFERENCE-Makers in the NFL. I'd rate Jackson a little bit higher because of his Versatility as a Return Man - Everyone is NOW looking for the NEXT WINDY CITY FLYER - Devin Hester!!!
