Watching the combine this year it became apparent that not as many big/large/heavy/fast guys are born as smaller fast guys.  One thing about fast guys is they seem to slow down a bit as the season progresses. The large guys are always large.

I am hoping our GM will be able to listen to our coaches when deciding on receivers.  I believe that is what happened with our first pick last year, consensus was reached but ego has to be set aside.. This year looks to have a good crop of receivers.

Hehe, that's called the 'planet theory' coined by Bills Parcells...and it was coined quite awhile ago (ie. see Travon Walker taken over Aiden Hutchinson).  I'm not sure I agree with the fact that fast guys get slower, I would attribute that to the defenses played against them.  The benefit of having a burner at WR is that they make CBs respect the go and hitch-and-go route, and generally tilt deep safeties to their side of the field.
