    Yeah. Keep clinging to those 2.... ignore 90% that I'm right about. Typical.


    If Calico went to any other school but MTSU, he would have had the same hype as DGB.

    He was a better prospect. At least was far more of a natural receiver than DGB is. Like it or not.

    This idiot made my day lol. Don't even care if DGB is garbage now. This was worth a 2nd round pick.

    I will throw in an oldie but a goodie.....Tashard Choice.

    DGB played college football for less than 2 seasons. I grant you that he may need some help on fundamentals, but I think that it is premature to make predictions on him "busting". I want to see how he shows up at camp and competes before I make judgments on that.

    I just don't see how you can say Calico was a more 'natural' receiver than DGB, that is just a terrible comparison. DGB will barely have to do anything to prove himself better than Calico.

    Hell, Hunter is better than Calico and I don't see any issues with him being a better WR than Hunter.

    No one cares how right and wrong people are with prospects. When you pin yourself to a wall with certain players you can expect to have it blow up in your face.

    I normally don't care about how right and wrong folks are about players either, BUT, when people try to flaunt how "smart" they are about picking booms and busts they tend to open themselves up for more scrutiny. DW likes to do this (and honestly, I think he likes the back and forth from us also LOL). There are others that do this as well.

    I never get why people think that this should be filmed, then shared with a couple billion of his best friends on the internet LOL. However, I agree, that definitely makes it more worth it.

    Heard the audio of him being interviewed after being drafted and I didn't sense full accountability . I did like the article posted here about him however. I'm behind the pick and pray he doesn't bust. I also hope he can pick up the offense and contribute this year. Wait and see.

    Just a few videos I watched on DGB. What I picked up from watching the college highlights is that he's clearly a freak. The dude is a legit 6'5-6'6, 235-240, w a 4.45-4.50 40, and a 35.5" vert, right there that gives him a huge advantage. Even if his routes are sloppy, he's so gifted he can still make the catch. He runs so smoothly, looks effortless. Can catch the ball at it's highest peak, with body control on the same level that only a few receivers in the NFL have. Although his routes were just lazy and sloppy, I think they can be fixed. He could get away with sloppy routes in the NCAA and overpower every defender, he doesn't have that luxury in the NFL. With work from Shawn Jefferson, hopefully they can get it done. Jefferson failed on Hunter, but Hunter is just "soft", DGB is a physical player.

    Then there's the character concerns. Hopefully they're in the past, he's getting married and is having a baby. Lets pray it was just an immature kid and he's actually learned from his lesson and matured. If not, we have the next Josh Gordon/Kenny Britt/Justin Blackmon.

    I honestly think DGB could have the same impact of Dez Bryant, Calvin Johnson, & AJ Green. He's that type of special.

    ... who played very well when not injured.

    His knees didn't hold up. I can't predict someone's health.
