Is Heyward-Bey Overated?

[FinAtic8480]

Alot of people have been dreaming of Heyward-Bey to Miami, but I have grown soar the last couple of days on this Prospect. Bey had a tremendous Combine in which he ran a 4.3 and looked great in drills, but we have seen plenty of combine monsters become bust.
I had heard of Bey poor route running and pass catching and after viewing video it is true and the kid reminds me of a former first round bust Tory Williamson. I have two names Im worried might get called by Miami and one is Heyward-Bey.

Feel Free to comment.

He's no Ramses Barden.

 

[GoonBoss]

Yes, he is overrated. His 4.3 combine probably assures him of floundering in Oakland. I don't think he ever really showed any improvment in College and is just about as good as he's going to be.

Mia will not be drafting him.

 

[GoonBoss]

He's no Ramses Barden.

By your picture they both seem to catch with their body and not their hands though.

 

[Lord Of Miami]

Yes

 

[Quadfather]

i would rather have hakeem nicks and kenny britt than heyward-bey, so yes.

 

[Spicy Henne]

Like the first poster, to me Heyward-Bey is Troy Williamson 2.0. He has bust written all over him.

 

[aj13]

theres only one team that he could succeed with out of the gate, and thats the ravens...he would compliment clayton and mason...and would stretch the field for flacco...other than that, i dont know many teams that have enough depth that the could add a one purpose wide receiver...

 

[X-Pacolypse]

Heyward-Bey is just a bigger Ted Ginn. One Ted Ginn is already enough.

 

[SamIam]

Yes

If Ramses wanted to, he could catch with his feet.

 

[thejetssuck]

Yes.

Every player in the first 4 rounds of the draft is over rated until they can prove that they can play at a high level. How does anyone know that Nicks or Britt will be anything more then a 3rd or 4th receiver, they may look the part of something better but that doesn't mean squat.
I didn't see anyone going on about E.Royal last year or D.Bowe the year before. The bottom line is nobody truely knows but if selecting a player at your slot is considered BPA on your board then you did everything right as far as you can control.

Yes. If he can't dominate in college, why does anyone think he will in the pros? Tom Brady is an exception, I can't think of any great NFL reciever who was average in college.
