Demario Ballard, WR

[KDawg004]

Apparently Carolina attended his pro day and requested his game film. Extremely raw WR with immense upside. Measured in at 6'7" 220lb and ran a 4.39 40. Would definately take a shot at him in the later rounds. Could be the perfect WR for our offense if he can develop.

Thats a tall WR! He doesn't look bad. It seems like he is sort of slow but that 40 time is really good. He seems like he knows how to use his body well to shield defenders away. Definitely could be good with a little development! I wonder why I haven't heard more about him?

[JawnyBlaze]

Probablu cuz 6'7 is a little too tall. At that height he's gotta be brittle. I guess he'd be worth a shot in the late rounds, but only if we've already touched all our other bases first.

post up in the endzone!

TE of the future perhaps....

Wouldn't mind taking him real late if he's on the board.

dude is huge.no homo.

First of all he measured in at 6'5.4 at the combine (colleges are bad to add a couple inches) his 40 also was 4.49 at his pro day but still wouldn't mind him late or as a UDFA.

[C47]

Anyone know how his blocking is? I really could see this kid being drafted late or brought in as a UDFA to learn behind Shockey and be our TE of the future....

6'5 running a 4.4 he could be a tall WR like a VJ or Malcolm Ford.

I just don't think they would be looking at him for WR with the numbers we already have there. I don't think they're going to trade Smitty so you've got Smitty / Gettis / LaFell / Edwards (I believe this staff honestly can turn him into a productive WR). Also we may very well draft A.J. Green so if we pick up Ballard I see it being as a project TE. He definitely has the skill set of a Tony Gonzalez or Antonio Gates....

[DaCityKats]

if we go after AJ i can than see him changing into a TE, but even than SD seemed to have a lot of WR prospects and depth. even last year we had more WR on the team than Fox would be accustomed too.

I actually go to Western Oregon with him, dude is a monster. Would be nice to see him running routes in the pros
