The latest to make his intentions known is Georgia Tech wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, who announced through a press from the school that he's skipping his senior season

draft him

[SCP]

I wonder why a receiver would want to leave Paul Johnson's offense? That's got to be about as fun as being the 2nd or 3rd receiver for the Panthers.

[Brooklyn Bully]

This again? Didn't we already shoot him down during the Tech bowl game thread?

[Carolina Husker]

meh. Not early anyway.

Who did that?

the kid is raw but he has skills

we have had enough raw talent, potential players, we don't need another. we need a wr that can come in and contribute as soon as possible.

no more drew carters

With the offense he's been in, he's relied entirely off the play action and his raw speed to get separation. Remember, that's been the alleged problem that DJ has had.

thats every college player..Raw talent and potential.Just need to coach them up.

true, but there are players that are more potential/raw talent and others that are more refined. drew carter for instance, had great speed and potential, but his ball catching skills were suspect. then you have players that come out and surprise people with their immediate impact, such as the rookie receiver last year for Denver, desean jackson, and the eagle's rookie this year. true they are generally higher picks, but that is the kind of impact we need at receiver next year. someone who is more refined ability than raw potential.

Excuse me, but who you propose we draft? If you dont know, we dont have a first rounder. So all that Benn crap goes out the window. Chance this kid might fall to us in the 2nd round. You got it confused kid. If Thomas have a good combine, its a good chance somebody might get him before us. He's also a great blocker cause of his size

yeah.But who is that player in the 2nd round?

[Lout]

Arrelious Benn is not a sure-fire 1st round pick yet.. we very well could get him in the 2nd round. Thomas has great measurables.. I haven't looked at his route running or hands yet.. I would guess his route running is poor though.

[beastson]

Shiiddd. Wanna bet he will be gone in the 1st round, and want to bet he will be gone before we get a chance to pick
