Matt is a great interview. Excellent speaking voice for radio and long detailed responses. This was a good listen. I absolutely share his concerns for Meachem, but I think like many others he's underestimating the best receivers a little. I think the second tier he likes so much really is very very good, and a couple sure could prove better than the top tier studs in the right situation. So, his comments have a built in safety valve even though he seems out on a limb.
In a moch around here Ginn goes to Dallas, and Dallas expert Ridgelake complains about the wimpy track guy and asks for Meachem. Ginns game film and even his highlights are always loaded with him going over the middle. He is fearless and incredibly dangerous after the catch with grass in both directions. He was a GREAT defensive player in HS and he still loves to hit. This is no wimp. He's just light. Meachem truly has looked fearful of the middle. I have written at length about toughness in wrs. Something Matt and I agree on very strongly, btw, and Meach is the best candidate to bust. I know Sig thinks he's done the most to move way up, but the real story isn't January to April. It's football games. I concur with Matt and wanted put a little effort into explaining. Meach is the Troy Williamson of this draft, and I probably would prefer a second tier WR (or two) to him. It's Ginn, Jarrett, Bowe, who I think will all be fine (and probably dandy).
We also line up on the QBs this year. Some may remember I have called this the year of the QB. I did expect a few more good ones to declare (Colt and Brian), but the second tier QBs are better than last years, and they are very good. The Trent Edwards comments made me feel like Matt has access to my thoughts. I like Edwards better than Quinn.
Great stuff Matt. Nice to "hear" from you.
