Another big WR I like the direction were heading !

I agree! Everyone on NFL network said it was a great pick. Russell Lande a respected scout said he loved the pick and thinks Durham will be a great downfield receiver. Rare speed for his size, good route runner, good hands, willing over the middle. I love the pick.

 

[bobflipaburger]

Yeah, I read somewhere 4.4 speed from a guy that's 6'5"??? Wow

 

[szat]

Guy reminds me of a leaner Jerivicious, who I loved. A crazy tall leaping possession reciever, with deceptive top speed. I was thinkning Greg Salas here, but kinda liking this pick, PC /JS going the USC way with bigger WR/CBs. He seems tough too with great hands.

A tall white deon butler

I think Schneider wanted a Jordy Nelson type guy....
