Just asking your opinion because Mayock mentioned him as a sleeper a couple of days ago and I have seen some mocks with us taking a WR around #4 which is ultimately where he will probably go IMO.

I saw Webb at the Senior Bowl practices and he didn't jump out at me. Corey Chavous was talking him up, but I just didn't see it. Also, I'm not really itching to get another WR after signing Kevin Walter. HOWEVER, if I were wanting to get a WR to develop and maybe put on the practice squad or just be a Special Teamer, then these are the players I'd look at....

Blair White Mich St. 6'2" 209lbs 4.49, 18 reps, 33.5" vert, 9.5' Broad, 4.03 shuttle, 6.69 3-Cone. He has good hands and runs routes better than Webb.

David Gettis Baylor 6'3" 217lbs 4.43, 15 reps, 34.5" vert, 10.3' Broad, 4.41 shuttle, 6.94 3-Cone.

Marcus Easely UConn 6'3" 210lbs 4.39, 16 reps, 34" vert, 10.2' Broad, 4.61 shuttle, 6.94 3-Cone

Scott Long UofL 6'2" 216lbs 4.46, 20 reps, 41.5" vert, 10.2' Broad, 4.09 shuttle, 6.45 3-Cone. He could possibly be signed as an undrafted Free Agent after the draft is over.

Now, I can understand falling in love with measurables and it's not like we are going to spend a 1st round pick on him like Jacksonville did on a QB turn WR. Just looking at previous conversions: 49er's Michael Robinson and the Jets' Brad Smith have been less than stellar. So, we could get a WR on the 3rd day of the draft and maybe one of these guys will be the one.
