How is this a surprise? He measured in at 6'0 at the combine. He's not even considered as good a prospect as Julio Jones or AJ Green, let alone either of the Johnsons.

I don't watch alot of college FB mark, so I go off of what I read and hear on this board, and all I hear is people acting like he's the next huge thing and can't miss WR prospect (I've even heard some say we should trade up to get him). I do take Cosell's word as gospel though, so it surprised me a bit.

With who we have on the rooster at QB , and who is left in the draft, I think we need a Top flight deep threat reciever more then anything.

EDMOND GATES can stretch the field for us...

He's definitely the best WR in this class. But, he doesn't have the size/speed of those more elite receivers. This is considered the best WR draft in a decade, but it's not at the top. The strength of that area is that there are going to be very solid WR prospects in rounds 2-4.

I don't want this guy, slow 40 only 6 foot. He is a slightly bigger version of Devon Bess.

No thanks, yeah he would be perfect slot wr, but deff not a Calvin Johnson.

I had to look that up. I've been calling him Clyde Gates all this time. Turns out "Edmond" is his real name. If MY name was "Edmond", I'd be looking for a nickname too!!

But what if we can have our cake and eat it too by getting Coby Fleener in the second round?

Who is gonna throw to these guys Chyren??

What do people not understand????

You don't draft a WR or TE and then build around them.....

You draft a young QB, then build around him.

This isn't some sort of Fantasy Football keeper league samsam, the price of three 1st rndrs & a 2nd for RG3/Luck this year was too steep for everyone, what makes you think we'll be in a position to get him next year?

A & O, needing something does not mean that what's AVAILABLE magically becomes what you need.

Dolfaholic we are going to stink next year bad. We have no qb....that there will be worst teams? Probably, but we are going to be there at the bottom record wise with them.

Its going to be close in the race for the first pick next year. JMO.

i dont think so, i would take stephen hill over him and definetly micheal floyd who i believe is without a doubt the best wr in this years draft. Baring his issues his talent is the best
