D521646 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 From the NFL Combine blog 12:30 Bill Huber: Woods said he sat in a room with about 10 Bills coaches drilling him on certain plays. In a meeting with the 49ers, it was "laid back" with Jim Harbaugh, who asked why he didn't play for Stanford. With Oakland, it was a lot of work on the board Linky: http://profootball.s.../2/1268712.html Anyone know anything about this kid? Looked at his stats, and he caught 111 passes in 2011 and 76 last year. Impressive. Tim- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 He is a former track guy (in other words he's fast) and all time record holder for receptions at USC. Had over 100 receptions the year before last. Some say he is a first rounder. So probably 1st or 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 He's good but I don't see him as a #1 NFL WR. more of a #2 or #3. he's good after the catch, but unlike his cohort Marquis Lee, he's never really blown me away with his ability to consistently beat coverage on intermediate & deep routes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotpockets28 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Robert woods will be a very solid wr in the nfl...a true #1 who knows only time will tell..he has very good speed and hes a excellent route runner...definitely a upgrade at wr if the bills can pick him up at #41 no one on the bills roster is better then woods besides stevie but..sadly I see him droping into later part of the first round only...he will be a pro bowl type reciever in this league no doubt about it.....barkley at #8 and woods at #41 will be epicly awsomenesssss Edited February 22, 2013 by Hotpockets28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmo Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Oh I would love it if we got this guy, he was looking like a first round pick after the 2011 season. He regressed statistically last year but I watch a lot of USC games and its really all because of Marqise Lee emerging as a superstar and SC's awful O-line that gave Barkley like two seconds to throw every dropback. He's currently listed as ESPN's 8th WR so if we get him in the third round I think that has the potential to be the steal of the draft, but I could definitely see someone taking him late 1st or before our 41st pick in the 2nd.

mrags Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 It sounds to me that Harbaugh knew this kid from college and that's why he didn't ask many questions. As for why we asked so many? Maybe that's the norm and SF and Oak look like a bunch of idiots. Maybe we were doubling our efforts with questions pertaining to his QB while at USC. Who knows, there's plenty of different scenarios out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybee Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'm not ready to throw in the towel on TJ Graham just yet. Indeed his rookie season was disappointing. I anticipate a significant improvement of TJ's play this year and for that reason, and that reason only I'd probably pass on this kid. I'm thinking any new wide receiver we get needs to be a big physical kid. One that can get position, go up and make the big catch while getting mugged. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be Barkleys girlfriend which would justify your stroked eat with him. Again, you've managed to hijack a thread with Barkley talk when it was originally about a WR. As far as "most polished" and "ready to start in the NFL" QB in the draft goes,any people said that about Sanchez, Palmer, Lienert, and Rob Johnson too. Yet all of these QBs (with the exception for Palmer but only barely) have been extremely dreadful and some of the biggest busts in draft history. I'm not saying you won't be right. He might be better than the rest in this draft class, but for you to claim it like its a fact, is just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, there's plenty of different scenarios out of this. I think we asked the right questions. there have been articles for years about the problems of rookie wrs. They take too long to learn the playbook. They have to be smart. They have to read the defense, adjust routes, learn the audibles, etc. If you're gonna draft a rookie wr, then draft the smartest one, other things roughly equal. It was Marv Levy who said of the draft, something along the lines of "other things being equal, take the smarter player, because he will get better faster."

Dragonborn10 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 He would be the best WR on our team. He has much more speed than Stevie and he may be almost as good of a route runner. He is a 15-25th pick guy so it is unlikley he is on the Bills after the draft.
