Wright is Slow!!!

My point is that he was super productive, which Wright will be. And as he adjusts to the speed of the league, he will find his place, much like Drew did.

 

So you'd rather have a Desean Jackson type? World class straight line speed, but can't run a route for chit, is soft over the middle?

First of all, let's assume that you are correct, and 4.6 is an accurate representation of Wright's top end speed (I don't think it is, but assuming arguendo).

You don't seem to understand how insignificant the difference between 4.3 and 4.6 is. The difference would matter in an actual football game maybe once a game or something.

The big thing that jumps out at me about Kendall, and makes me think Steve Smith, is how he is able to change direction effortlessly, with no loss of speed. THAT will serve his game much more than two tenths difference in the 40 would.

Now, would I rather he run a 4.3 flat and was six foot three inches tall with 36 inch arms? Sure. But there ain't too many of those out there.

Oh, and since you don't like the Jerry Rice point, here's another one...

Wes Welker - 4.61

I think this is EXACTLY the type of WR Kendall can develop into. A guy you can move around the field, runs excellent routes, is surehanded, is great after the catch.

If he turns into a Wes Welker he'll be the best WR this organization has had in TN (assuming Kenny continues to flush his talent away).

For the 20th pick? That's a sucessful pick.

Is Kenny going to become a Randy Moss or Calvin Johnson guy that dominates the league for a decade? No. But then, you ain't gonna get a guy like that outside a top five pick, and even then, only once or twice a decade maybe.

 

damn!!! never seen so many folks get a nut over a player

 

Yikes...

 

yup we need it bad.

 

1 - no other WR for Tenn would have made that catch
2 - Wright not only made that catch, but turned out an extra 20 yards
