He has been in the top 3 of 3rd down conversion catches every year as a pro and we gave up a pick we would probably cut anyways.
I think this has been the best move this off season so far. Little and Gordon, and now this dude. Awesome pickup.
Last year he had 48, 3rd down catches. 17 receptions for 210 yards for first downs. Yea his scoring stats don't reflect it, because he is not a red zone receiver, he was thrown to TWICE, in the OPP 19-goal line. This guy will keep the drive alive. Something Weeden and the Browns struggled with. Sure we had some nice bomb TD down the field, but when you are playing the Ravens and Stoolers, you need to get those tough short yards for MORE chances down field.
very nice and i agree this is my favorite pickup in the draft as well. benji and cribbs sucked in the slot position they seemed to just go through the motions and that was it. if the play called for a 10yd curl they would do a 10yd curl and that was it. the good slot wr's kinda free lance it if need be to get open or to draw the safety off of a double team or run to the open part of the field. But the qb has to be competent enough to read this as well. If weeds can get it together we should be exciting to watch this year and years to come.
