Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - 79th Pick: Leonard Hankerson - WR

I like what Sporting News Draft Magazine had on his interview:

Bottom Line: Hankerson started two years at Miami and had a dominant senior year, breaking Michael Irvin's record for receiving touchdowns in a season (13). He continued his solid play during the Senior Bowl, where he had a game-high 99 receiving yards and a touchdown. He should go late in the first or early in the second and will be a first-year starter as a pro, provided Hankerson can improve his route-running consistancy.

They asked him ....

Q-What do you say to your detractors who don't believe you have the necessary speed to make it in the NFL?
A-I'll say one thing: I don't know if I've ever been caught from behind.

This was an awsome pick. I know many won't want to want the team to jump on another WR since we need NT, OL, and possibly CB or FS. I would totally understand, but there are still other WR's on the board with similar size and speed to Hankerson who might be a good thought...

Owen Spencer
Niles Paul
Terrence Toliver
James Cleveland
Tandon Doss
Darvin Adams
Keith Smith
Ryan Whalen
Tori Gurley
Carl Moore

again I know you all will think I'm Vinny, but we are talking about our new WR and I figured I'd just throw some other names out there who are of similar height, weight and speed. I'm not saying we have to grab another just pointing out that there are others maybe just as good. Maybe burn a late draft pick on one or look to see if any are UDFA's to invite to camp to try out.
