Is there any chance Jarrett falls out of the first round? (1 Viewer)

I have seen a ton of mock drafts, with about 40-50% of them predicting Jarrett ending up with the Vikings at #7, but lately have seen a couple with him out of the first round altogether. Is there any chance he falls out of the first round with the way Mike Williams turned out or will he end up in the first round no matter what because he is just a "gamer"?

I think he'll be in the first round unless he runs a 4.65 or higher. My guess is that he'll run a 4.5-4.6 and it'll be a moot point.
 
i don't know how fast keyshawn johnson was, but he wasn't known as a speed burner & went #1 overall (very rare for a WR)... mike williams was pokey, & went top 10...

i see it like EBF... unless he runs a 4.7, which i think highly unlikely, he should be a lock to go in first round, & there is a good chance he goes in top half, imo...

I pretty much agree but it's possible that teams will focus on other positions since the wr class is so deep and thus guys who would normally be first round picks could fall into the 2nd round
 
though there seems to be a consensus that jarrett is the second or third best WR in the class of 07 (depending on how teams ultimately stack their boards)... its probably unlikely guys like rice & meachem go ahead of jarret (ginn might)... if he runs a 4.5, & maybe even a 4.6, i'd be stunned if he doesn't go in the first (& as noted, i think he goes in top half of first)...

over at nfldraftcountdown.com, scott wright seems to think bowe might also go before jarrett
 
bowe had a great week of senior bowl practices, if not game (not his fault, it was wet & he was working with new QBs), & he is a physical specimen, but i think his body of work will suffer in comparison with jarrett... i have tremendous respect for wright & the draft countdown site (probably premier mock site), but i'm guessing more teams have jarrett graded higher... bowe very well could go higher than rice & meachem & i should have mentioned him above... EVEN if bowe goes ahead of him, i would STILL be stunned if jarrett doesn't go in the first round...

* i don't know the answer since it has been a while since i have looked, but i'm guessing wright has jarrett going in first?

No way he falls out of the first round. Philly and the Bears can use a WR, especially that late in the first round.

Donte Stallworth is a UFA, and Moose Muhammad is due some ridiculous roster bonus after the '07 season.

 
No. But I'm seeing Bowe ahead of him in many mocks now, which seems silly to me.
Why does that seem silly to you? Bowe is an unbelievable talent at WR, who had questions that needed to be anwered regarding drops his junior year. He had laser surgery before his senior year, and it did the job. Bowe has size, underrated speed, and is going to be a good one in the NFL.

I can't speak for the poster but it seems silly to me because jarrett had the more productive college career. Heck even after the bowl season wrapped up no one was hypeing up bowe. It wasn't until the senior bowl that a lot of "experts" started talkikng about how great bowe is and then he starting being talked about being taken before jarrett. So it seems that some ppl are taking one great week of practices over a stellar 3 year collegiate career
 
Sure he can. It could also rain tomorrow. Or pigs could learn to fly.

Before the combine, ANYTHING could happen. I don't expect him to have a poor 40 time. I don't think most people do.

So if he did -- well, we've seen people drop hard for less.

 
I don't have any issue with Bowe, and think he has a good chance to be a good NFL player. But I think he belongs in discussions with RIce and Meachem and Jarrett belongs in a discussion with Ginn and to a lesser degree, Johnson.

In other words, while Bowe may end up the better pro, I have not seen anything that leads me to believe that he is a better prospect then Jarrett.

Jarrett seems faster than BMW.

Definitely. He's also quicker, which is probably more important. BMW and Jarrett are both tall, but their builds are a lot different. Jarrett is skinnier.

:wall:I'm not the draftnick that some others are around here, but I did get to see plenty of USC and Jarrett looks like a pro to me.If he's available for their pick in the 1st (which I highly doubt) I think the Chargers would snap him up.

I agree! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the guy and think that the Vikings would be ok to take him at #7, unless they feel Rice or Meachem will make it to their pick in round 2. I think Jarrett is the real deal as well.

Interesting footnote to USC's WR Dwayne Jarrett recent sluggish 40 times of 4.67 and 4.62. Those times were identical to Jerry Rice's times at the 1985 NFL Combine.

translation: every guy that runs a 4.62 will be the next jerry Rice . . .
Hardly, but he's not much slower than Bowe who most think will be a good WR. I don't think the .05 difference in the 40 means much and Jarrett does two things well that teams want from a WR - running good routes and catching the ball.
 
USC receivers are quickly becoming to the NFL, what Penn State RB used to be..

.i.e., they look great in college,and don't see much success for whatever reason, once they hit the NFL.

Bowe ran a 4.49 and a 4.40 at his pro day. (After a 4.51 and 4.61 at the combine, which Jarrett didn't attend.) Who knows what Jarrett would have run at the combine, where everyone's numbers were lower than at their pro days. He may have run a 4.7.Jarrett :kicksrock: by Bowe.

Keyshawn and BMW. Keyshawn has been a very good possession receiver who has never played 2/ a good QB. The dude getting you the ball makes a huge difference. I don't think his career has been too bad. I know he was always a concern in the matchups against the Pats. I'd call him a top 20-25 WR in the league year in and out, and at times aorund the top 10. Keyshawn is a guy I'd love to have on my team. Guy runs great routes and rarely drops the ball, goes over the middle, makes the tough plays. He's not Harrison or Holt. Always good, but never great. Did he ever live up to the #1? Probably not. But, that's why you rarely see WR's at #1. They don't warrant the pick. Williams flat out got jobbed by the NCAA and league. The psyche of an 19-20 year old kid is fragile. I'd be hesitant to write him off, but at this point he's been a bust. He may get his act together, and decide he wants to work hard. He may continue on the wor is me path, but that's not USC's fault. I just think it's a major overgeneralization to label USC receivers as such. Williams I'll give you, and there are major extenuating circumstances around it. Maybe I'm overlooking some USC guys, but I don't think so. As for Jarrett, I think he's a solid mid to late 1st rounder (better?). There's a lot of secondary talent here, so see how it falls. I didn't think Maroney would fall as far as he did last year. I remember joking with a coworker that I'd start a net rumor about smoking w/ him to make him fall to the Pats. I didn't, but he did. It was hilarious, because he was adamant that we didn't havea chance to get him. So was I, but I can dream. As for USC receivers, I think bot Jarrett and SMith are NFL caliber players. Smith gets little recognition, because Jarrett is so good. I think both being there, and the team, hurts both of their value.
