re: Does anyone think that Russell Shepard gets drafted?

How small do you guys think he is? Yeah compared to BAMA's secondary a lot of WR's are small, but he has average height. He's more like a faster JLandry without the great hands and route running. So, I'll say he'll go in the "playmaker" rounds like 5th, 6th, or 7th because the higher rounds are for guys who are more skilled and better at their position.

You guys ever heard of wes welker?
not saying he's that guy but I think he'll get drafted base on combine performance alone.

Mike Detillier said 6-7 rounder only because of his potential. He said it would be in Sheps best interest to bulk up, work on his route running, and come back for his senior year. With a good qb and a better SR yr, he would greatly improve his draft standing.

7th round

Wes Welker didn't get drafted. Wes Welker is quick as shite, has great hands, and runs great routes. He was also a dynamic receiver and kick returner in college.

Speed-below average by NFL standards

he's far from a great player. Kick return man at best in the NFL.

Could be the next Trev Faulk or he could be the next CJ. Misused college talent makes it all the time in the NFL. If he throws up great numbers at the combine, someone will take him.

Good showing at the combine, pro days and he will get drafted

Not only because I want him back next year because I do like him alot. But he would be much better served to put on a little weight and come back for his Senior year to give himself a better chance. On a different note - whoever compares him to Wes Welker is smoking the funny stuff...

ask after his workouts. He could very well get drafted.
he''s not getting draft just off his production. He was mis-used anyway

Mis-used or not. NO very doubtful.

That was me and I said he's not that guy...my point was directed at those who said he was too small for the NFL...and they don't get much smaller or elite than wes welker...Again Shepard is no Wes Welker

You're out of your fricking mind if you think RS has below average speed.

Size- way too skinny; not tall enough by NFL standards.
He could use some bulk but 6-1 185 is pretty good size for a WR.

Flutie Flakes?

This debate reminds me alot of the stuff that was said when T. Holliday was still here. "If only we would get the ball to him".
TH was also grossly underutilized. Should have made the switch to Defensive End.

6-1?
Really?
Dude is 5'10" at the most.
And he is right, by NFL standards he has below average speed at wideout.
