I would do jumping jacks if we could land someone like Willis in the 1st and grab Jarrett in the 2nd. He's better than what his workout numbers are. He smoked every team including #2 Michigan in the biggest regular season game of the year. He's a very good WR in my mind no matter what his numbers say.

Jarrett was shooting for the mid 4.5 range......his times have to be considered a little disappointing but he may still go in the first round. The best comparison is Chad Johnson...was considered a top 15-20 pick overall until his bad 40 times and he was a steal in the second round. That said Jarrett isn't a Chad Johnson type of player but I wouldn't entirely rule him our of round 1.

I think a good comparison to jarrett is keyshawn johnson ... if jarrett ends up being a keyshawn, that'd be pretty good.

Mike Williams was slow and he was hardly considered lazy. Williamson was considered a good enough prospect to land in the early part of Round 1. My point was the 40 time is only another tool to help project a player to the NFL. If you want to spend a 1st round pick on a situation receiver that's fine but you can land a Brandon Stokley in any round. Jarrett is not a great route runner and he does not have the speed to get seperation. What he does excel at is using his body to shield defenders. Problem is, in the NFL these DB's face bigger and faster WR's every day.

I could care less about 40 time, the only WR I may be more down on then Jarrett is Ginn. I just don't see the skills with either WR that translate to the NFL. Ginn at least provided value in the return game. Ginn will be picked hiher then he should because to many people are in love with 40's but don't be surprised to see Jarrett there late into round 1 or early 2.

i wouldnt be surprised to see jarrett late in the 1st or even in the middle of the second round but whoever decides to draft him in the 2nd round will get a steal, thats just my opinion.

oh and ginn to me will have a jerome mathis type of career. backup WR, slot WR, punt and kick returner. i dont know why youd waste a 1st round pick on a guy like that. id much rather have bowe and jarrett on my team

i dont know about "average time". everyone expected him to run a high 4.7 or even a 4.8. he ran a 4.6 (flat). now a 4.6 in general would be average for a WR..but for jarrett its a pretty good time. very nice broad jump and his short shuttle time was exceptional ("a lot" faster than meachem, rice and bowe). his vertical is also very solid. his 7.28 3-cone drill on the other hand sucks though...still, he had a great workout

I thought I read that Meachem ran a 4.19 short shuttle at his pro day. Still, comparable to that is good for Jarrett.

meachem: 4.31
rice: 4.34
bowe: 4.35

thats what i read on several sites

I remember mel kiper picking mike williams as the best player in the draft, and the only reason williamson was taken so high was because the vikings needed a moss type reciever and williamson was the closest thing to one that year.

was it roddy white that had the amazing highlights shown after he was drafted?

I don't give a rats *** about his 40. The guy made college football look easy. He has the size. He has good game speed. Does he need work? Sure. But the talent is there. If he slips past 20 I think some team will have gotten a bargain.

I agree with Ginn. I just don't see it. Of course the explosiveness is there... but...
