In Round 2, the USA Today special 2008 Draft magazine had Manningham going to Denver: "could be a steal for the Broncos at #42 and could thrive (alongside their other WRs)."
Marvelous has seen Manningham AT LEAST TWENTY times. He was always doubled on big downs and always got the ball. Invariably successful. Anything near his hands was getting caught, tremendous in the clutch. In Marvelous' opinion he does NOT run good routes, or can certainly improve on his routes. Reminds Marvelous of Toomer in his days at Michigan, same type of player, same school too. HE DOES NOT DROP THE BALL. Marvelous does not recall Manningham EVER dropping a ball. GREAT HANDS. When he gets his hands on a ball he catches it. Fearless, does not mind going over the middle. Marvelous likes the player, does not like the position because of other needs ("LB"). The Giants must have feared losing him at this spot because he will be gone in R4.
Dr. Rob says the NFL Network showed some clips, a couple of passes where he dropped the ball, and one where he got leveled coming across the middle. When he got free had plenty of speed.
Reese: "talent-wise we think he could have gone in the first row (round)"

I love this pick. He slipped to Round 3, but is he really appreciably worse than the guys the Skins and Eagles got in Round 2 (Jackson, Thomas, and Kelly).
This guy can be a legit number one. With Smith having established himself, we're certainly set for the post-Amani days. Now we may be set for the post-Plaxico days.
Oh, I'm Greg. Carly's my girlfriend whose Gmail account was open.
I like the Kehl pick too -- he seems like an instinctive playmaker from what I read.
Wonder (on west coast) woke up (lol), he likes both picks. Really likes Kehl move by Giants to trade up 7 slots to grab him.
