Can't argue w/ production or tape. But he just seems role player to me.

1st round. Especially with the proliferation of the pistol offense. This guy is invaluable to teams like the 49ers, patriots, redskins, eagles, panthers, you name it. Some might say he's a 2nd rounder, but no way does he last that long. Especially after the combine.

College roles. :ww:

I'm not opposed to drafting him tho, just hope if they do he can be a good overall WR like Steve Smith...Carolina's Steve.

He's tough, durable and compact, can generate warp speed in a picosecond, and changes directions just as fast. If Fish is committed to making this offense explosive, we need the battering ram OL up front to keep the defense at bay, and the lightening quick receivers with sure hands to make the D pay for being on the same field as our O.

I'm all excited about the possibilities with a guy like Austin.

I'm wondering where his stock goes in the coming weeks.

I don't think it's going to change a whole lot. His tape is as good as it gets. The only thing Tavon can do is go up a little, or fall, and that will be based on his aptitude to learn a playbook.

Late first to mid-second, unless a team has the luxury of picking him a little earlier. Some consider us having that luxury by having 2 first round picks. I do not.

Warmark would help Sam be able to step up in the pocket that's for sure, it would be a very good selection. I doubt that Fisher would go two O-Line only, but you never know.
