Picking Kelly over Sweed

Kelly's body oozes stick em' I'm pretty sure. The dude doesnt drop balls, something that cant be said of sweed.

yeah Sweed liked to drop balls and not only that but the Redskins spent alot of time with Kelly and I feel that they knew they were going after him from day one. We have good scouts and for some reason, Sweed didnt bait our scouts. I am excited about Kelly's hands and I think he will be good.

a repeat of what most post said Kelly's hands are the best

is kelly gonna be number 86 when he was introduced? or number 12 which it says on the official site? just curious bc thomas is number 11 on the site but when introduced he was 85

On Redskins Radio, they said worked out Kelly alot. They actually brought out Campbell and made him throw to Kelly, which is apparently rare for workouts. Campbell and Zorn liked his ability to catch the fade in the endzone and were not concerned about his speed.

kelly runs better routes and is more proven as far as consistent, year to year, production


That's a ludicrous statement:
2006 6 catches for 90 yards and 1 TD
2007 79 catches for 1260 yards and 8 TDs

That's some year to year consistency for ya.

You got your stats wrong. Kelly as a true freshman caught 33 passes for 471 yards and two touchdowns. As Sophmore he caught 62 passes for 993 yards and ten touchdowns. This last year he caught 49 balls for 821 yards and nine touchdowns.

I think you put the Devin Thomas stats in there instead of Kelly's.

Yup... for some reason I had Thomas on my mind... sorry Spanky.

don't mention it ;)

Kelly was the #1 WR on most rankings when the college football season ended. Then, somehow, through combine times and scores and rediculous media hype, he dropped down to anywhere between #3 and #8.

His slow 40 time is not a big deal IMO. There are a ton of examples of WR's who ran slow times but had crazy successful carreers (hello - Jerry Rice?). His hands are phenomenal and he plays big in big games. I don't frankly care how blazing fast he is if he doesn't catch the ball effectively - it'd be irrelevant.

He seemed very polished and articulate and intelligent during the news conference - and I think that's a sign of being mature. Seriously, when you think of all the "superstars" in the NFL, how many of them talk in horrible, ebonic english during press conferences or interviews? Not many at all. Leaders in the lockerroom need to be able to speak intelligently and clearly and smartly - if they want to be the face of the team. Kelly impressed me with all of this in his first press conference and i expect big things from him.

I'm actually more excited about him then Thomas, who in my mind has much more question marks.
