DR RAM wishing he had an extra two inches:
2" means a lot more in the bedroom than the football field. He plays bigger than he is....
I think the difference is much greater than you think even outside of the bedroom. :lol:
Having said that, I remember either Snead or Fisher talking about how Bailey "played the tallest" of all the WRs when they were working out at their pro day. I'm not sure it was the pro day but I do know they specifically mentioned that about Bailey.
Found where I read it. It was a post from max after listening to Sirius radio.

Les Snead was on Sirius radio this afternoon. I turned it on when he had already started, so I may have missed some stuff.
The QBs that worked out Bailey in WV said he played the tallest of any WR they worked out. And they worked out a lot of WRs that were a lot taller physically. They said that Bailey could go up and get balls that the others couldn't, that when they threw the ball to him it felt like he was the tallest. Very trusting for a QB. That was a big factor in Bailey being high on their board. Never would have had the evaluation without the workouts.
TJ was all Fisher's pick. Snead said he told Fisher, since you played Safety you know more than I do, so pick your guy. TJ has great attitude, the "comes with bad intentions" quote, great athlete, and extremely smart, and that's exactly what Fisher wants in his safety. There were just a few of them that fit that description in this draft.
Ogletree was a calculated risk, though it was thought out. The new LB coach (forgot his name) was grumbling when they made the trade down from 22. The coaches really wanted Alec and didn't want to miss out on him.
Snead said the Buffalo trade was easier said than done. People think you can just dial up a trade up like a piece of cake, but teams have spent a lot of time on their boards and they are prepared to go a certain way and to alter that takes work. Plus you have to know with a reasonable degree of accuracy where your guy will be going off the board, otherwise the trade is off and it was not time well spent.
He said Scott Wells is on the downside of his career, so they see B.Jones as the heir apparent down the road. They are gonna slow Barrett down (he's been pressing to show well for the draft) and get him ready for training camp.
Didn't hear him talk about the other picks, McGee and Stacy.
