I've come around on Robert Woods.

Watch Woods against Richard Sherman 2 years ago and you see just what I mean.

Getting warmer. 12 catches for 224 yards and three touchdowns

Woods is the next Reggie Wayne. Hunter at best is comparable to an average version of Randy Moss. We can take a flyer on a guy similar to Justin Hunter in the 3rd round or later. Aaron Dobson seems to fit that bill.

And we know how much BB likes Reggie Wayne.

If Patterson's not available, it's Woods/Hunter/Wheaton for me, not necessarily in that order.

Yeah, he abused Sherman whenever Sherman drew him in coverage. Very nice.

Very nice. Thanks for putting it up, MM, it's been a while since I watched it.

If Patterson is available, it's Allen(medicals cleared)/Woods(medicals cleared)/Wheaton for me. In that order realizing a trade back would give best value.

edit: oops. I should have added it doesn't hurt that Caserio has discussed the pro-style offenses of Cal and USC for giving their WRs an easier transition into the NFL.

Yes, I've also really started to like Woods this week. After Bedard tweeted that he is what we need, I looked closely at him and liked what I saw. Anyone have a link to the vid of him vs Sherman that was referenced on pg1?

edit: think i found it, watching now:

edit: yep, right one and it's further up on page 3, which i didn't read until just now.

Damn, now I know why Sherman was picked so low in the draft.

Who had Kyle Long going before Shariff Floyd?

Damn, now I know why Sherman was picked so low in the draft.

He wasn't highly regarded--at all. Stanford used him as a WR and CB, and he wasn't good at either. He was like a Poor man's Devin Hester or a Rich man's Matt Slater in that he was an athlete without a position, but a potential Special Teams captain who could perhaps chip in as a depth safety. Good on him for improving so much after he got paid.
