Ok, this isn't a mock or anything like that, but what I have to say, I wanted to say BEFORE the Combine due to 40 times. The player I would like to ask you about is Marcus Monk. Now before you start saying "***, Marcus Monk???" I would like you to look at a couple of KEY players in drafts past and this years draft. I don't know alot about marcus monk, but this is what I know:

1. All Freshman SEC back in 05'
2. Guys 6'6"
3. Played with 2 first round RB's in this year draft (How can that lead to alot of touches??)
4. Was lingered by a knee injury this season
5. According to some Arkansas fans, he was constantly doubled
6. is projected as a late round pick, but was tempted last year to come out early
7. TOUCHDOWN MACHINE
- scored in 3-6 games played last season and was never really healthy
- scored 11 TD his junior year
- would be a great jump ball guy near the endzone

The next thing I would like you to look at are a couple of players that match up with his body stature

1. James Hardy, IN

2. Marques Colston, Hofstra - look how he turned out

3. Marcus Monk, AK

Now before you start bashing me about this idea, he's projected as a 7th round pick, with the guys potential and if he's healthy, how can we say no to him when he's very similar to hardy and colston. I'll take this kid over martinez anyday.

Kids a sleeper IMO, and a KEY thing to remember here is that I wanted to do this BEFORE the COMBINE so that if he's super slow, which is my biggest concern, then this could be easily forgotten

i would definitely love to see this guy with us next season but WR isnt really a hole we need to fill. maybe a 4th rounder.

axx WR depth is a need i mean unless your somewhat content with how Martinez played. Hell i wished we still had Hixon still.

The thing is WR depth i would like us to grab a primary WR and a draft another WR in the later rounds or sign a vet WR.

Marcus was a first round draft pick at the start of the year but his stock has cooled alot. i think he is a good wideout and i wouldnt mind it.

I really think we need a field stretcher something where we can cover all the bases. Brandon is not a field stretcher.

I wouldn't be opposed at all. You can always use big guys in the end zone where we have our struggles. The problem is though, a speed guy would be more useful. Marshall is a big son of a gun, so if Scheffler and Graham. So we have a nice group of big men for the end zone jump balls. We need someone who is fast enough to get us there in the first place.
