    He's 6'5 235 lbs and he goes up and gets the ball he's a Calvin Johnson type receiver. The Steelers could use a big receiver like this.

    Going up and getting the ball just because of height is one thing. Being able to outmuscle DBs when going up for the ball in a contested situation is another.

    Moye has some potential, and may have a place on this roster for a while, but what we are sorely lacking is a physical red zone threat. A guy who can consistently outmuscle defenders for the ball. A guy who can consistently wall off defenders on inside routes so that Ben has a security blanker when coverage is tight. Moye can elevate and get the ball up high, but I don't see him working the middle of the field for tough yards or catching a slant at the 2 and bowling through 2 DBs into the end zone. We are very physically weak at the WR spot right now. Other than Moye, our WRs are at their best in space, Moye appears to be at his best well outside the hashes. I'm not advocating specifically for Benjamin, but generally for someone who can be a physical threat. I haven't studied this year's crop of WRs yet, so I'm not sure who I like - other than Watkins who looks like a true game breaker.

    Watkins is good but not interested in him because he's similar in size to Brown, Sanders,and Wheaton.

    I know how to find out who has the most say in our drafting ...
    Who drives a BMW, Colbert or Tomlin?? :lolol:

    Brown, Moye, Wheaton
    ... and in reserve
    Brown, Moore (maybe next year they'll bring back Woods)

    I really think Mike Evans would be a good pick and one of the few guys who I would support taking with our first pick instead of LT. I'll have to research this Benjamin cat as I haven't watched as much NCAA ball as I would like to this season.
