Charles Rogers

It would probably end horribly and I will later kick myself for saying this, but something about Rogers intrigues me. Maybe I am blinded by the glitz of the #2 overall pick...I guess I should remind myself that Ryan Leaf was also picked #2...oh and of course Michael Westbrook was #4...

I had the same thing with Akili Smith for a long time. I would tell people "he didn't get drafted that high for nothing." Yeah, well, it turns out that he did get drafted that high for nothing. I'm much more willing to give up on players because of that.

Charles Rogers brings with him all the uncertainty that you would get with TO. Rogers is always a step away from a big time injury and/or a substance abuse situation. TO is always one step away from carving up the locker room into factions. Both receivers come with huge baggage. Here's the difference:

Terrell Owens has shown that he is one of the top 3 receivers in the NFL at the moment. Charles Rogers has yet to show that he is one of the top 50 receivers in the NFL.

Rogers is a ticking time bomb but without the likelihood of a big onfield payoff. I wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot pole - - even if I could find one of them lying around here.
