I keep seeing a hundred and 1 threads about WRs here and specially Ginn but none are you are mentioning Bowe from LSU. May I ask why? this kid will be a top 15 pick and the number 2 WR behind CJ of course. He is a complete WRthat has the big time size of Jarrett, great speed and makes the fabulous catches. The scouts are comparing him to Anquan Boldin but even faster.

Here is some of the write ups from the senior bowl this week on him

Despite everything else the South practice was still the Dwayne Bowe Show and outside of a couple of drops he's simply been putting on a clinic this week.

wide receiver Dwayne Bowe continues to be one of the stars of the week, regardless of team or position, and came though with some more spectacular catches today. Bowe extends to make catches above his head and is quick in and out of breaks

If Dwayne Bowe hasn't been this squads most impressive player then it might be cornerback David Irons of Auburn,

Based on sheer talent it would appear the South squad is superior to the North and you could easily make the argument that they have the two most impressive players of the week so far in Dwayne Bowe and David Irons.

Perhaps the star of the entire day, on either side of the ball, was L.S.U. wide receiver Dwayne Bowe. A physical wideout who presents the quarterback with a big target, Bowe has good hands and displayed excellent concentration.

 Bowe and Carriker hot, Palko and McCauley not


Bowe also awed during weigh-ins. Looking more like a linebacker then a receiver at 6'2" 220. He's shown great speed and soft hands during practice.

Dwayne Bowe, LSU - fast, quick, agile, natural hands catcher, crisp routes, Boldin-esque frame, but faster, tipped possible INT away from Michael Griffin to himself making catch while falling on his back, got 7-8 yards separation easily on go route, but didn't make catch, lots of attention by teams after practice, best WR on field today, extremely coachable, SF WR said "way to be coachable" after Bowe instantly applied suggestion on next play (pat kirwan commented on this too), got low to catch ball just off ground very easily

I could go on and on, every draft website out there he has impressed the heck out of folks. The dolphins spoke of him for about an hour on their show 2 days in a row (monday and tuesday). He is getting glowing remarks everywhere and is the fastest "riser" out there plus he played against great competition. Right now we could move back and maybe get him but if he runs the 4.4 his coach says he runs then he will be a top 10 pick and fit perfectly with us.
 
Bowes draft stock is soaring. hes working his way into the top 25 of the draft.
 
Best case scenario, unless Quinn/Russel would be there at the 9th spot...

Trade down to mid 1st round and pickup Bowe and pickup something like another 2nd and 3rd round picks.. with those extra picks we can pick up best Offensive Tackle and best Linebacker/CB/DT available with those 2 second round picks.. and then we would have 2 3rd round picks which could be used to pick up Mason Crosby who has yet to miss in Senior Bowl Practices and we can pick up BPA, maybe the TE from Delaware or Brian Leonard, doubt he'll be there in the 3rd round though
 
WOW...just...WOW

If he's really that good, it would be a dream come true. Let this marinate for a bit. When is the last time we had a WR with that size and speed who fights for the ball and makes catches like that?.............

If he projects in the NFL the way he played in college....WOW. What a target. Sounds like a fast Oronde Gadsden. Plus he'll easily have at least 20lbs on your typical CB.

As for trading down? Absolutely not. A team like San Fran would grab him quick.
 
Good call, Finsfan. Bowe would be a great grab, especially if the Phins were able to trade back and pick him up in the middle of the 1st. What's the likelihood of that happening this year? My initial perception is that this is a pretty deep draft with a lot of solid value but few guys that teams are going to fall in love with and make aggressive moves to go get. Am I off?

Either way, Bowe is much more intriguing than Ginn since he comes with more tools, even if it is at the expense of freakish field stretching speed. He would give the Phins a nice, physical element at WR...something much closer to what Cameron was working with in San Diego.

Of course, there's also the possibility that Bowe ends up as this Senior Bowl's Philip Rivers: a guy a lot of the scouts like and are keeping quiet on but who ends up rocketing up the board on the back of a monster week in Mobile. If that happens, he might end up out of the Phins reach.

I am still curious about Mueller's scouting profiles. When he was with the Saints, didn't he go for a lot of timed speed (as opposed to say Scott Pioli who seems to like the fluid, all-around athletes or Jerry Angelo who likes guys who play fast)?
 
I agree with the Bowe choice over Jarrett and Ginn. But watching the senior bowl practice recap the way they talked about Bowe reminded me allot of CC. Maybe it is just me, I could be wrong.. " make the spectacular catch, but then drops the easy ones..."

Also, was anyone else impressed with the Troy Smith interview? I never cared for him much, but his interview was pretty impressive.
 
I always knew BOWE had talent all the way back to when Norland won state and Da U was trying to recruit him. I believe after CJ, he is the best overall talented recieve with size speed and hands (Similar to A Johnson in Houston). I would love MIAMI to trade down and it might be something they consider with Cam & Mueller wanting offensive play makers. We then can go for OT/LB/DT/SS in the next two rounds (3 picks) if we can get another pick. We also should not rule out the possibility of trading one of our wide wr
 
Do you think the pats would be stupid to trade their two #1s (just asking) I think that would be to low to get Bowe (lets see how his NFL Combine/Individual work outs go)
 
I am on the draft Bowe wagon!! I don't wanna miss another WR like Boldin! We had are shot a boldin and passed.Look what he has done.Lets not make that mistake again.I also think that Cam being an O-coach that someone on the O side will be drated with the first pick.Cam wants points to help out the D.Just my 2 cents.

I'm was all for your plan until you mentioned drafting Crosby. Kickers just aren't worth drafting that high IMO. I don't really follow small-school football so I don't know who this TE is you're talking about. Still though, the first part was exactly what I was thinking.

#80 from LSU has made himself quite a bit of money this week. Every one is talking about him being the best player (regardless of position) for the south team. He's for sure a 1st rd pick now, and if he does run a decent 40...watch out!!!
