Diamond in the rough.

Not much news out there so I thought I'd post a fun question.

Did Gibbs and company find a draft day diamond in the rough this year and if so, who will it be?

Last year I think that clearly it was Cooley. Taylor doesn't count cause we all expected him to be good as the first rounder.

So, who could it be?

ALL OF 'EM!!!

seriously though, I think McCune.

I know that we traded alot to draft him. But Mr. Gibbs seems to think highly of Campbell. After that, I would like to carbon copy another post, and point out that Nemo was predicted to be 3-4 rounds. The only down side to the 250 lb full back, is that he is not incredibly elusive. WHO THE HELL WANTS A FULLBACK TO BE ELUSIVE?


Think Mike Alstott, with a stiffer neck.

I don't consider Cooley exactly a diamond in a rough. Didn't he lead all TE's in receiving yards as a senior in college?

5tds from a 3rd rounder when you've got the 30th passing game in the league is still a great find...

mccune this year hopefully, maybe nemo too. campbell is another candidate but he went high and i doubt he'll play for a few years at least, so i'm discounting him.

Cooley did an amazing job without doubt, however, everyone knew he was a talent coming out of school just scared to take a guy from Utah State I suppose.

Wasn't it 6TDs? Which is even more impressive. He lead the team as a rookie.

Me'moms always said I was a Diamond in the Rough. Now if only an NFL scout would discover on my couch.

Your right. Maybe I should have said something like "Better than expected". Anyway, I think that Cooley was the diamond. A third round pickup delivered 6 TDs as a rookie. Even more impressive is that Gibbs didn't realize what he had in Cooley until 3/4 of the way through the season, and still the Gibbs game plan did not stress getting passes to the H-Back.

You never know, they may have a need for an arm chair QB (or is that Brunnel's new position?).

Everyone is getting me pumped up about Nehemiah Broughton (sp?). I haven't seen any game film of him, but everyone's getting me to believe that he could become the breakout rookie.
