What do you guys think of Miami drafting #4 D. Hester the kid from the Miami Hurricanes. Maybe in the 3rd if hes still around.
 
if we dont get a corner in the first, then why not? hes got mad return game, and big play capability...but he may be more of a luxury pick for a team that can actually afford to come away from the draft with " project type " players...

all said, son has skill, and i'd love him here, but at what price..? depends on what need can be filled in the 3rd..

we just have to see how it all unfolds.
 
Great athlete and all but he didn't play much b/c he couldn't grasp the playbook.
 
I took him in the 3rd of our GM League, and I'm practically the hottest young GM prospect in the nation. It has my approval.
 
I would'nt. I am a cane alumni and fan, and after seeing him, all he has going for him is speed. He could never claim the starting spot on d. They tried him on offense he he really didnt do anything there either except the occasional reverse.
 
I think Hester is one of the most overrated players in the country. He's fast. But not even the fastest guy from the U(Moss). They tried to put him at WR but he couldn't learn the plays. They tried to play him at CB, but he has terrible technique. They tried to put him at RB, but all he could run was a sweep. The guy is stupid. I don't like to talk trash about a guy, but I know people that know him. The guy could NEVER learn a NFL playbook. He's a carreer kick returner. If you want to draft a return man in the 3rd when we already have Wes and Kelly Campbell, then that's your choice.
 
You know, I was getting hammered as a "homer" because I said we should take him in the 4th. Good luck convincing people we should spend a 3rd on him.

I agree with what footballer said...he's a "luxury pick". If we can fill our need at OLB in the first, I say we take him in the 3rd. If you work with this guy, maybe even baby him a little bit (i.e. give him homework assignments on the playbook, go through the fundamentals, etc.) he could be something.
 
he doesnt have a position. Heck, he couldnt start at Cornerback at UM. I think he is a better fit at WR in the NFL honestly.

Yeah if you can't start at corner at UM, you must suck. I mean, let's not act like Kelly Jennings and Marcus Maxey aren't legit 2nd rounders for a minute. Those guys were trained as corners for 4 years, and Hester was a WR his entire time there. I would expect the guys who were in the system for 4 years to beat out a new guy too.
 
Hester biggest contribution to any team right now will be as a return specialist and maybe for some trick plays on offense. He could be come what Dante Hall is for KC.
 
i think hester is not worth the pick or look..there r much betters wrs then him in the later rounds...i love the stovall from nd and that demetrius williams from orgeon can be a sleeper in the 4th rd if still there.i saw him tear up the pac 10 this season...he is not bad
 
I don't think so....we already got Welker running back kicks/punts...I think in the 3rd you have to look for a lineman, or maybe a LB, if we don't get Arrington or if we take a WR or Safety in the 1st.
 
If we are just looking for a return man, why not get Willie Reid. He is a better punt returner than Hester and can contribute on offense as a slot receiver who isn't afraid to go over the middle.
