lulz, NO!!!!!

What's the f**king difference? Same size, speed, strength, etc.

Both got popped like little b***hes on the line in the NFL and couldn't get wide open in the NFL.

Both? One of these guys hasn't played a down int the NFL yet...

They really aren't similar players at all. Warrick was one of the most elusive WRs in college football, and a dangerous return man. Warrick wasn't very successful in the NFL, but a lot of that is due to the fact that he had Akili Smith and Gus Frerotte as his QBs, and suffered a knee injury early in his career.

Kendall Wright is more of a deep threat in the mold of a Steve Smith or Santana Moss. Small guys who can stretch the field.

Look similar to me. Only difference is that Wright had a rocket-armed RGIII throwing bombs to him wide open downfield

Hopefully he won't play a down in Red and Gold.

Warrick was one of the most elusive players in college football. Wright doesn't come close IMO.

Again, I compare Wright to Santana Moss. On the right team, he can be a very dangerous player

Actually, I think we should draft ^ this guy ^. He's elusive and has blazing speed. He can play the slot really well. And I think we can steal him in the 6th round...

3. weak - 4 reps on the bench
4. doesn't like blocking
5. gives up on plays where he isn't the target of his QB
6. looks better on tape than he really is because of a Heisman winning franchise QB
7. due to limitations, he will never play Flanker (z) or Split End (x) - he is solely a slot guy

In all honesty, I don't think Wright would even be on Baalke's draft board. Baalke loves size, and if a guy isn't big he better be fast. Ideally he wants a combination of Size/Speed/Production. A perfect example would be Chris Culliver. He had excellent size & speed, and even though people said he was raw, he was a 3-year starter with plenty of experience.

Huh? Culliver is 6'0, 2 inches taller than Wright, and about average when it comes to cbs. He had one of the better 40s, but also produced in college.

Yet he also went for Kendall Hunter. Who was "too short" to a lot of people, and also ran a mediocre combine but showed elite speed on tape. Wright can get separation and has tons of tape showing his playmaking ability. So is he fast or not? I guess it depends on what his job is going to be, are we going to have him running track in the Olympics or are we going to have him running routes?

BAALKE WATCHES TAPE GUYS. He is not just a stopwatch scout...

I'm not solely basing my opinion on a stop watch. If you read my post previous to this I praised Wright for having the best game tape of any WR in this draft. However, there are legitimate questions as to whether he can hold up on the outside, or is he just a slot WR.

And once again, Baalke likes size/speed. He's shown it the past 2 drafts. He did draft Hunter & Williams, who are small, but both are sub-package players. I don't think he would go with a guy who might just be a sub-package player in the 1st round. Remember, its just my opinion. No need to get so touchy about it.
