Nice Piece on Limas Sweed

Quote:
Hardworking Sweed has tools to become No. 1 receiver

By Nolan Nawrocki
Jan. 22, 2008

NFL Prospect of the Day: Texas WR Limas Sweed

Limas Sweed
WR Limas Sweed
Texas senior
Ht: 6-4½; Wt: 220; 40-time: 4.45 (all figures estimated)

Upside: Very good athlete. Has excellent size, very good vertical speed and great leaping ability. Strong hands. Good body control. Can pluck the ball in a crowd and make acrobatic catches. Powers off the line of scrimmage and can beat physical press coverage. Shows sideline awareness. Tracks the deep ball well over his shoulder and can adjust to the ball. Good concentration. Can make the one-handed grab. Eats a lot of ground with his long strides. Has consistently produced big plays in the clutch. Excellent work ethic — is very driven.

Downside: Not a sudden starter. Could do a better job using his size to post up defenders and exert his will on defenders. Relies on his athletic ability too much. Not creative after the catch and will not elude many defenders in the open field. Lacks confidence.

The way we see it: Tore ligaments in his wrist prior to his senior year and battled through the injury before entering the rehab process. Did not show all he could as a senior and could be misevaluated using 2007 tape alone. Otherwise, he has big-play capability and the physical tools to develop into a No. 1 receiver. May not come into the league and dominate right away, but in a league of prima donna receivers, he is surprisingly humble and very hardworking.

I added the bold.

I wouldn't mind if we landed him in the 2nd round, depending on other moves and or picks of course.

I've always loved Sweed and thought he was extremely underrated. He really reminds me of a guy like Hines Ward. I want him more than any other WR in the draft for the simple reason that he will be the best value of any WR in the draft and could turn out to be great.

He has risen quite a bit many people have him over Malcolm Kelly now. I think he is good but he still has some question marks, two which worry me the most are his speed and how will this affect him in the NFL. People compare him to Plax and they are very similar but while Plax isn't the fastest guy in the world he definitely isn't slow either. One thing people don't look at with Sweed is that he is a hell of a blocker. That would help us nicely.

I'd love to get sweed but unless we can get another pick in the first round I don't see any way of us getting him.

With his injury problems and display at the Senior Bowl it could definitely happen. Never say never.
