That's essentially the point I was trying to make. You just did it more clearly.  |

We don't want Kelly's stock to be high. Somewhere around the fifth best wide receiver prospect would make just enough teams pass him over to end up in Maroon & Black, err, Burgundy & Gold. |

I agree that I don't want his stock to rise too high. He has the best hands and is the most physical receiver in this years draft. But again, Kelly, Sweed or Thomas would be just fine by me. Kelly simply has a slight edge, in my opinion, because he's played in a pro style WCO. |

Proof that both ESPN and their blinder-wearing fan nation know nothing:
Selection: Mario Manningham, WR
Matt Williamson says: "Manningham reminds me quite a bit of Chad Johnson and I think he has a very bright future in the NFL. However, I think Washington needs to add a wideout with more size and overall physicality than what Manningham brings to the table. Derrick Harvey, Chris Williams and Leodis McKelvin all look to be more prudent selections in my book and I would have taken Harvey, all things considered. I do consider wide receiver to be the Redskins' top overall need, but it is not by a wide margin and adding a defensive end with Harvey's upfield pass rushing ability on the opposite side of Andre Carter would do wonders for this defense."

It's because of the uncertainty. He didn't workout at the combine so now the "experts" are dropping him down on their draft boards. All of this injury talk is premature since he's going to do individual workouts for teams and their medical staffs will be thorough with him I'm sure. |
Kelly's knee injury is becoming greatly exaggerated. In his entire college career, he only missed part of one game due to a knee injury. That was the 2006-2007 season Fiesta Bowl. He played the entire 2007 season with no problems. Then he suffered a quad pull in this years bowl game and is why he didn't workout at the combine. Some are saying his stock "may" drop simply because he hasn't worked out yet. Once he works out, his stock should be fine. His former knee problem was from his sophomore season and he only missed part of one game. |

NFL Network's Mike Mayock reports that both of Oklahoma WR Malcolm Kelly's knees "are of such concern" that he may be removed from some teams' draft boards in April.
Kelly got hurt in both the Sooners' bowl games the past two years. He hasn't participated in any pre-draft events. Kelly plans to run privately on April 9. Mayock hints that there is a good chance Kelly, the No. 1 receiver in the draft according to some internet services, will go in round two.
This is the latest I've read. |

It wouldn't surprise me to discover that the origins of "concerns" about Kelly's knees began with an NFL team that was drafting, say, 22nd, or even 28th...
I think he's probably fine. |

 Exactly.
Edit to add... Mayock did say he got that information from a scout.

Kelly hurt his knee over a yea ago. Again, he missed part of ONE game. He then returned and played the ENTIRE 2007 with no problems. He suffered a quad pull in this years bowl game, not a knee injury. Due to the amount of time off between the last season game and a bowl game, it's not uncommon for a player to pull a muscle after so much time off. I know you are only posting what has been reported, but those reports are inaccurate and exaggerated. If Kelly's knee was so bad, how come he didn't miss anytime during the 2007 regular season? He's fine, he just hasn't worked out yet due to the quad pull. |

It's all speculation until he gets drafted and gets some years out on the field. I just don't want to draft someone with a shortened shelf life like I fear Rocky's going to be. |

Early Doucet had a poor showing at the LSU pro day and has fallen out of the top five WR's on Mayock's draft rankings. Malcolm Kelly has now moved up to #4 on that list.
Limas Sweed missed the majority of the 2007 season with a wrist injury that resulted in surgery, yet after his pro day performance, there's little concern about his injury. Kelly missed part of one game in the 2006 season, then play all of the 2007 season and all of a sudden there's "concern" about his injuries. Yeah, right. I think Countertray nailed this one. I believe Kelly will have a strong showing at his pro day workout. |
