Ramses Barden

I was just watching the College Football All-Star Challenge and one of the first contestants I saw was Ramses Barden from Cal Poly.  At 6'6" Barden isn't going to be running a 4.3 40 anytime soon but this guy still has good athletic ability for his size and his hands looked great.  He made a couple one-handed grabs one of which was on his backside and looked pretty hard to grab.

This guy is not a first round pick which would allow us to address bigger needs early such as O and D-Line, DB, QB.

Also competing were Hakeem Nicks and Jordan Norwood but I think of the three Barden fits our needs the best.  Just throwing a name out there to keep an eye on, if anybody else has seen this guy play let me know what you think.

I saw the same All Star Challenge

And wrote up a report on it, you can find it in the fanpost archives and I too wrote that Barden fits our needs at WR better than the others. He looks to fit the Larry Fitzgerald mold more than anyone else in the draft that I have seen. Maybe Nicks a bit too.

My bad, didn't see your post until just now

I like Nicks but I just want somebody a little taller because we don’t exactly have the most accurate QBs and a big target would be nice to have.

Derrick Rose-2009 ROTY Tyrus Thomas-2009 MIP...hope I'm at least half right

At the Senior Bowl

Barden was sluggish, ran poor routes, and dropped tons of easy passes.

In college he looked great against lesser competition. I see him being a huge bust

If John Paxson were a Greek hero he would be known as Sans Testicles
