4.12 WR Jericho Cotchery - NY Jets

[Preds]

I almost went with a homer pick here with a local boy that went to the cowpokes, but in the end I had to fgo with the most potential upside, and that's Jericho.

As stated in an article on the Jet's website:

This guy broke the NC State records of the guy who might be the best receiver in the game today, Torry Holt. Playing with QB Philip Rivers (the 4th overall pick in the draft), he had ample opportunity to show his stuff. At 6-0, 200 pounds he’s a decent sized receiver, but again, more important than that is the production he had on the field. With over 200 catches and 3,000 yards, he’s a playmaker who is not afraid to go across the middle of the field and make the tough catch. Where he’ll fit in the Jets offense is still to be determined, but I would imagine it would be inside. Santana Moss and Justin McCareins will play outside, and you’ll have Wayne Chrebet and this kid in the slot.

At pick # 60, this kid has as much upside as any other remaining player, if not more, in fact I like him better than the virtually every other pick made in the 4th round. Cotchery will be battling it out with 3rd rounder Samie Parker to make the Predators 04 Development Squad.

... from a guy who didn't study anyone else picked in the 4th round! lol

Now, Cotchery might very well be a good player. He was the guy behind Newsome on my list.

Here's to "spinning" your own draft picks! :drinktoge

well on my ADP list of about 15 rookie drafts, Cotchery averaged out at about 35 overall, and I took him at pick 60... that's value. Plus he has good hands and looks to be firmly in the Jets plan as their WR4 in 2004 and possibly as Chrebet's replacement in 2005.

While I did little research in the middle rounds, once things started to swing back to me I researched a select few, like Samie Parker and Cotchery, and liked what I saw ;).

You can call it spin all you want, but both my late late WR's WILL MAKE THEIR TEAMS and will possibly play a significant role with their teams in 2004 and beyond !

So what are you implying by that, Mr. Mike?

I'm just glad you like your guys. Bring on the regular season! (Well, bring on the preseason first, then the regular season!)

I like this pick.

Had this guy almost neck and neck with Wilford. Had I known Wilford was 25, I would've gone with Jerricho.

If nothing else... you gotta love this guy's name!!
