Hooker could be a lot of things, but he's also a one year wonder. You never know how those produce.
Not even getting into the underthrow conversation.
You talk about healthy, but ignore the fact that Allen fell because of injury problems. He has arthritic shoulders. And it scared teams off.
OJ Howard isn't that great. Also, you said "another speedster stretching the field". Who's our speedster?
I understand wanting to go in a different direction. But Ross has tremendous upside and outside of the "healthy" part, what's bad about his play? Smaller, yes. Sturggles sometimes against more physical CBs. But he is very solid and numerous sources say he would be their #1 if not for the injury history.
There are other "fast" WR's that would have been around in the later rounds.
40 Times
Curtis Samuel 4.31
Josh Malone 4.40
KD Cannon 4.41
Chris Godwin 4.42
Thats just it though. Sources say he would have been a #1 IF NOT FOR THE INJURY HISTORY.
Everyone seems to be so fixated on the 40 time that they are just ignoring all the warning signs. Its frustrating taking a gamble on such a injury prone receiver of his size and even more frustrating that good durable players at other positions of greater need was passed on.
