His lack of speed hurts him. In the NFL you need to be able to separate from CB's. Still think he goes in Rd 7, lots of picks left.

He was plenty fast at the combine. All the measurables are comp with the top WR taken. He was top 10 in rec, yds, tds - and top 20 in yds per catch.

Not blazing fast; add history of drops with a poor catching performance at Combine...
Still think he will make it in the League though...
 
I can't imagine the problem is speed. It's got to be the injury history, which cropped up again in both the Senior Bowl and the Combine.
 
the top teams and top corners thumped us by like 40 points. you build a 3 score lead in the first quarter the corners play a little softer. amba had great numbers but GM's do watch game tape.

9 catches, 80 yards with a 3rd string QB vs the National Champs in Death Valley. And we only lost one game by 40+ (that one).

No - but plenty fast. Lots of guys taken ahead of him with slow times.

I think just the one year thing hurt him too.

I think we've found Captain Obvious
 
He goes undrafted. He needs to find teams that are weak at WR's. Should be on the phone with the Jets, Browns, SF

some Arod stat padding?

They held his years at Maryland against him. Only explanation he didn't get drafted. System or not, he was one of the best wide outs in America.

And I don't think he helped his case at the combine if there were questions about his hands.
