Would actually make a lot of sense.

Slide Santana over to the #2, Thomas gets one season to prove he was worth his pick at the #1, and Shipley at the #3 spot. With Cooley and Davis, That looks like a damn decent receiving bunch for a young QB.

So, now we just have to keep him off his ass.............Enter Okung and Asamoah.


Seriously though, What situation would be better for mcCoy. Having his friend to back him up in the pros, get over the learning humps together and be there to inspire each other and offer encouragement. I think that would be a great move for Us, or for whoever drafts mcCoy. Shipleys hands are frickin sponges.

He's a player I wouldn't mind putting together a package of something like our 4th round pick this year and 3rd next year to move back up into the 3rd round to grab. He could easily fill the role of a young explosive receiver we need for 3rd down as well as kick returns.

For a fourth or fifth reciever? He's a nice to have who's stock will die down a lot once he becomes a player.

I think he could be our 3rd wr this year and within the next 2-3 have thomas move into the #1 spot and shipley would become our #2 wr. He had an insanely productive college career once put into the starting lineup and we haven't seen anything out of Kelly to warrant him being a lock to be 3rd on the depth chart. Shipley has a quick burst off the line, runs very clean routes, does a great job adjusting his body to catch passes that are a bit off target, and has no problem going across the middle. And on the finacial side, as a possible 3rd round pick he would come into the league under a very reasonable contract given his possible production since in college he scored a touchdown once every 7.5 times he caught the ball.
