Fuck yes!  I have always rooted for Georgia teams since I grew up there and that's where my family is from, but it looks like we might finally get some luck our way!

Ya, but I think he problem was he didn't have good touch.  We had the same receivers then and they would drop his bullet passes all the time.

I'm more than happy with Ryan.

Yea he is my all-time favorite NFL player, he wasn't going to be a big part of the Chief's new offense anyway. Not to be negative, but he's nowhere near the player he used to be, he has one good year left at the most.

Dwayne Bowe... they also have the 4th pick in the draft and rumor is they are looking to trade it for an established wide receiver. Unfortunately for them they are probably the only team Boldin would refuse to go to because of who the coach is.

yeah...  its not dropping as fast as that WR from florida though.

only reason i called you out on the pick number is because im from WA and according to ESPN the Seahawks, Redskins, and a couple other teams are looking at Sanchez and i REALLY hope that the Hawks get Sanchez so that us seattle people dont have to watch Hasselbeck hobble around like the old man that he is.

what i meant was that he is old...  not that he wasnt good anymore.  he is still a good receiver its just that i dont think he has that many years left in him..  same as Marvin Harrison.

who gives a shit about mel kiper, crabtree is the same player that he was in january whether or not kiper says his stock is dropping.  Im not saying wide reciever would be a good choice for the chiefs but people put too much stock in what the 'experts' say.

I don't think a team should ever bank on a college player performing as people think they can.  College and the NFL are very different and it has been proven over and over again that star players in NCAA can turn out to be worthless on a pro level, and vice versa.

Crabtree is an awesome receiver though, and I would love to see him dominate some more.
