I forgot about Hank but yea he is lengthy but we have at least decent size in regards to WR and tight end.

Also, maybe someone can answer this for me. When a team makes a trade for a restricted player and is required to give up a 1st round pick...does that team, if they have two 1st rounders, have the right to give them whatever 1st rounder they want? Or do they have to give them the pick that the team earned by their own record?
If you have a big athletic tight end you don't necessarily need a tall receiver on the outside, it helps but its not necessary, The Packers and Patriots don't really have giant all receivers. I believe the first round that your record indicates, so if the Patriots wanted to give up a pick it would be the 31 and not the 27th. Not sure though.

You are correct. You surrender the pick you earned, not the pick you traded for.

Speaking of the Giants, they don't have a 6'2 plus possession WR either but still have a great passing game (because of Peyton's baby brother).

It really depends on the QB and more specifically how accurate he is i.e. less accurate QBs will need larger WR to reach the same completion success as the more accurate passer w/ average size WR. Fingers crossed RGIII is the latter

Asking, "Do you want to make that combo a large for .59 cents more?".

Wasn't the worlds tallest man in the news today because he stopped growing. Maybe we should pick him up. Do you think it will be a problem if he runs a 56.3 40 with crutches?

It looks like our draft class will consist of all olineman and dbacks

Are we keeping Gaffney? I'm thrilled if so. I just thought he wasn't going to make the cut. Even still, there isn't a guy who just towers over the competition. Not that all corners are giants, but it's nice to know that there is a guy who can reach over the pack in tight groupings.

After being the most productive of our wide receivers last season, and the fact that he's a veteran player, I would think that Mike Shanahan would consider keeping Gaffney a top priority.
