Is he worth the risk? The harder I look at him the more I think he might be.

I'm as nervous as anyone about taking someone with durability injuries, but if he bounces back from them you're possibly getting the best WR in the draft. People forget that it used to be a spirited debate about who was better, Lee or Watkins. His combine numbers are impressive as hell (126" broad and 38" vert are beyond elite), and he's got the production when healthy.

How would yal feel about him? It's looking like a lot of the guys I was hoping would drop (Mosley, Barr, and Cooks are likely not to be there when we pick). I actually think it could come down to a WR, Nix, Verrett or trading down. If Bridgewater really tumbles maybe we can get into the top of the 2nd for someone. I'd be ok with that.

Thoughts on the Trojan speedster?

His injury and carousel of QBs was big last year.

both his '11 and '12 campaigns were good ('12 being great), if he played every game last year and averaged his #s, he'd hit the 1k mark.

3/11 of his games were <20 yards
3/11 of his games were >100 yards
5/11 of his games were between 69-90 yards

If healthy I love the dude's game. Great fit for our offense and out of the guys coming out this year I think he's among the most ready to make an immediate impact

If he could have come out after his sophomore season, he would have been a first rounder.

I'd rather take him than any of the probable corners or pass rushers that'll most likely be available at #27. I do like him a lot tho probably 3a or 3b for me as far as WRs in this class.

Just go watch his gametape against Stanford last year, it'll show what he can do...until the very end when he gimps off the field

At 27, I think so. Remember, we wouldn't have a shot if there were no durability issues.

He'll be a first rounder regardless, but if he could have come out last year he'd probably be a top 10 pick.

He would have been top 10 easy. He's still a first rounder.

Replace Seastrunk with Mason or Hill, and I'm 1000% game.

I hope so. I'd be ecstatic to get Lee. I know I'm probably in the minority on this board but I'd rather Lee and OBJ over Cooks.

No problem with Lee. We need someone who can stretch the field.

there is this stigma that he is injury prone or something, he only missed 3 games. People can say he struggled with drops last year, but i don't care. The guy proved in 11&12 he was one of the best receivers in CFB

I like him a lot. He's got special after the catch ability

What I don't like about him though is how rarely he catches the ball with his hands. EVERYTHING is cupped or comes into his body.

He's a pass dropper, but if he's there, I'd like the pick. It would be nice to have a legit weapon at WR. Although it wouldn't be immediate.

I was trying to talk with someone about him today when the guy responded "Percy Harvin 2.0"

So do we really want another "Henderson" as our first rounder? Look how long it took him to get over his problem.

And how much have people crucified Toon for drops.

My question would be how much of a problem is the pass dropping? Like 5 a year? 10?

I'm with you on that.

I actually would prefer Lee over the other 2. I'm probably the only one though

Isn't OBJ as well?
