Call me funny - but why is it when we draft someone right out of college we already 'assume' he's as good as the best player we have on the field as a tried and tested nfl player ...?

Randall Cobb
Scouting Report
Merely average height and bulk with small frame
Isn't real explosive and lacks elite timed speed
Doesn't get much separation down-field vertically
Will drop some balls due to lack of concentration
Lacks strength / power and won't break tackles
Gives good effort but won't offer much as blocker
Still somewhat raw and is not a master technician
Suffered some injuries and durability is a concern

Well, i look at it this way........TT seems to know what he's doing. So i'll trust his opinion as far as who he chooses in the draft.
He seems to be right most of the time.

Sounds a lot like Greg Jennings

He is THAT good!
:thumbleft:
Leave it to a Viking's fan to criticize the abilities of a player who is considered to be a steal for being selected by GB at the end of the 2nd round when the Vikings chose a player who should have been a low 2nd or 3rd round selection with the 12th pick over all. They even tried to trade down and couldn't put together ANY kind of a deal. :roll:

I don't know why you have a problem with it.
Instead of checking out our new players, I've spent the last two days scouting the Vikings' and Bears' draft picks, finding the most critical "weaknesses" available on the internet, and posting them on fan boards.

So who was it who said that this guy is as good as Greg Jennings? I must've missed it.
