He can't run and he can't get off the line isn't what I'd be looking to spend my first round pick on.

For his size he shouldn't be struggling against college CB's because when he gets to the NFL if he can't beat press coverage that's all he gonna see and the guy will be lucky to catch 30-40 passes a year. We're looking for a guy who can haul in 80-100 passes a year and I just don't think he's it. In that regard I have history on my side. The last halfway decent ND WR I can remember the Bears having was Jim Seymour back around 1970 and even he was no more than a journeyman type.

I think whoever drafts Floyd will have a huge disappointment on their hands.
Floyd does scare me a little and the combine will be telling with him.

My fear is not that he will bust out, because I think he has the highest floor, but that he will never be a #1 because of the concerns that you outlined.

Next week will be interesting because Floyd I think has the most to gain or lose of all the WRs.
