I always hate this argument, the QB needs the WRs to make him just as much as the WRs need the QB. Colston has the hands, the speed, the strength, and the size to make it as a top WR in this league with almost any team.
the only reason that stuckey went in the 7th round was that he was injured.so many teams passed him by.he would have gone in the second or third round for sure.if not for the injury.
I remember a few posters who had mentioned Colston prior to the 2006 draft. The comments were to the effect of "he's from Hofstra, played TE, could convert to WR, Wayne Chrebet worked out well for the Jets, let's take a flier on Colston". Nothing more than that. I don't recall MrElectric29 being one of them. The earliest mention of Colston here by MrE was on 4/25/07. If he made any others, they would have been prior to the February 2006 board crash. Unless the advanced search options here aren't working well right now, it would appear that MrE made no Colston comments in the two months leading up to the 2006 draft. Furthermore, if he had I would have called shenanigans. Nobody residing in California and/or South Carolina would have known much of anything about a Hofstra TE/WR unless he/she was getting information from a draft site and then passing it off as their own scouting. I had a similar complaint about the whole Chris Gocong thing. There's no way somebody in the NY/NJ area truly knew much about the guy. If one of his college games was televised that would have been a lot. The idea that somebody could read a blurb about Gocong (or Ramses Barden, as another example) and then state that the player will be good is ludicrous.
Agree on the Carolina Steve Smith, Moss, Fitzgerald, Wayne, Andre Johnson, Jennings, and Calvin Johnson. I rate Colston as better than Houshmandzadeh and Marshall. Boldin vs Colston is a close call. I don't know where to rank Ochocinco at this time. He was not good last year and I haven't seen him yet this year. I would put Vincent Jackson and Roddy White in my top 10.
