Two interesting tweets from Michael Smith: http://twitter.com/MrMichael_Smith/status/12466414689 http://twitter.com/MrMichael_Smith/status/12469798596 Do you guys think there could be some validity to these rumors?
I've just seen Wilson be the best player in the WAC for the past three to four seasons. Wilson made an impact play in every single game. I think he's better against the run and he's more of a playmaker. He'll also contribute right away as a dangerous punt returner. Haden and Wilson are basically the same size. The gap has definitely closed.
Thaaaaaaat's pretty damn stupid. Haden is just getting knocked from all sides this offseason. I love Kyle Wilson, and I love a lot of the top corners in this class, but Haden is on his own level. Haden is elite, one of my favorite corner prospects from the past decade, HE is like Revis more than anyone else. Aggressive, willing, and skilled as a wrap tackler, great open field speed, unbelievable-Revis like closing ability when the ball is in the air, great instincts and outstanding ball skills. Makes big plays, knows when to gamble, just an outstanding prospect. If Joe Haden falls past the top ten, someone is getting a huge and massive steal. For me he's where he's always been, and that's as a top 4 prospect in this draft.
I see this as a possibility. My first Jets want was Wilson in january, and I knew this kid was the real deal from the 1st second of highlight film I saw. Closest thing to revis? maybe, but that's a lot to live up to. Wilson could go top 12.
Everyone else bumps threads and brags about stuff, I'm bragging about Joe Haden. All that bullshit about how he was "slow" because his combine 40 was crappy, and he's a finalist for R.O.Y., has 6 picks, and 18 passes defensed. Kid's a stud.

I'll play along too. This is me back in early September ---- post #23 - Nick Fairley, ----- I saw him first. http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?t=58865&page=2
If I could transfer my e-cred from another site, I called Nick Fairley breaking out after the Outback Bowl in Janaury 2010...
Well I drafted Gronkowski in round 2 of the 7-round mock last year, so I pretty much won the whole thing. :smile: But seriously, really good calls on Fairley and Haden. :up:
