Let's not forget the possibility of all three of our receivers, but especially Evans and Parrish with their blinding speed, getting some reverse carry opportunities.

I'm not sure Freddie will last long on the practice squad after taking balls to the house and nearly to the house last year. Someone will snap him up. I think we'll keep him.

And yet, if we get an '06 draft choice for Henry later on, the pundits and half the people here will still call TD stupid and moronic for not pulling the trigger to get an '05 choice.

Whatever you think of Soward, he was a first round pick, drafted ahead of Todd Pinkston, Jerry Porter, Laveranues Coles, and Darrell Jackson. He actually did get on the field his first year, and was the Jags' primary return guy. As with Parrish, the Jags already had two established receivers (McCardell and Smith) and simply drafted Soward to stretch the field and help their return game. The reason why Soward tanked wasn't so much talent as it was his inability to keep his nose clean. I think he got suspended at least twice for drug violations and is now in the CFL. It's not fair to compare Parrish to Soward because it was Soward's "complete thug"-ness that ran him out of the league, not his lack of talent or his ill-suitedness for the Jags' offense.

except, of course, for that dude who "is associated with a well-known draft site and has attracted the attention of former scouts."

Seems like we've taken tight ends like this before... Lonnie Johnson and Bobby Collins, for example. And Keith McKeller... Overall, I'm satisfied with the draft. We got some targets for Losman and some depth for the OL -- including a possible center-guard combination for the future in Preston and Griesinger. We improved an already excellent ST unit with Parrish and I didn't think after Nugent there was any kicker worth expending a draft choice on. Not all that pleased that we didn't take anything for the middle of the defensive line, but maybe that says more about how the staff feels about Anderson and Edwards than it does about what was available this weekend.

Of course, Pat Williams himself was a UDFA.

I remember that dude! Mike Rockwood. Wasn't he like 6'10"?

I like this part: Regarded as the school's finest prospect on the offensive line since the days of Will Wolford (1982-85)...

Nah, I just read it somewhere a couple years back.

Haven't you guys been paying attention? We're doomed!

Reyes and Clarett are actually cousins.

Obviously some people didn't share TD's enthusiasm for this guy. Overall: Preston red-shirted in 2000 and he appeared in two games of the 2001 season. He took over as a starter in 2002 and has been the fulltime starter the past three seasons. Preston is a blue-collar player that never stops working and rarely makes mistakes, but his potential is limited by his lack of natural ability. He doesn't run well enough to consistently reach his blocks at the second level and he isn't quick enough to prevent penetration in pass protection against elite one-gap DT's. That said; Preston's work ethic, size and sound technique are enough to give him a chance to compete for a roster spot as a reserve in the NFL. In our opinion, he's worth taking a chance on in the seventh round but not any earlier.

Yeah like a fourth-rounder will start immediately!

How long before someone posts the usual "How many Super Bowls has he won?" in reply? For the record, I ain't jumping off no bridges.

And everyone knows that Mel Kiper and Frank Coyle and itsbillstime06 know their schitt.

He's the same as he everett was.

I'm glad his concentration jumps out and smacks you in the face. I remember once upon a time we had a tight end whose LACK of concentration jumped out and smacked HIM right in the face.

OK what's up with the Tom Brady Ball-Washing Special on the deuce now? I know it's a long day but jesus.

Cripes ESPN called him a WR!

And apparently if you add his and Parrish's Wonderlics together you might get one college student! Not that I care about that.

There's your TE. Happy now?

Our record isn't even close to the Jets' in terms of draft futility. Don't even try to pretend that it is.

Bills on the clock... time to go to commercial
