If college yards are the only thing you're looking at to the point of ignoring everything else, you're going to make some really really laughably poor decisions.
You would have been better off comparing Braxton to Matt Jones and Eric Crouch (both busts) since the comparison is really about QBs converting to WR. The odds are stacked against him since there have only been a few QBs who have made the transition successfully. How many teams past over Gates and Graham? Hindsight is always 20-20. My point was simply to stop people from comparing Sanu and Braxton since it's really apples to oranges.

Using "stats" to bash Miller is stupid. I can get the knocks on him, that he's inexperienced, injury prone, not elite in any aspect, etc...
Yeah, 35% of his receiving stats came in the first two games of the year...what happened the rest of the year? Who else was on the field is irrelevant. Urban had Tebow and Harvin running the show at Florida yet Aaron Hernandez, Riley Cooper and Louis Murphy got their stats so yeah, stats are important albeit not everything. And if they're blowing out their mediocre opponents...why didn't Braxton get more reps or have better success? His football IQ is not that high and that's a big deal in the NFL. Yeah, I just provided something other than stats on why not to draft him.
Got to love the Ohio State homers!
