Winslow is a SportsCenter player, too, a big play waiting to happen. With his separation ability, suddenness and speed, Winslow consistently gets open. In fact, he was underused by the Hurricanes last season. The son of the Hall of Fame tight end with the same name, Winslow can make any catch you can think of -- and a few you probably can't. He also gets yards after the catch, even if it means hurdling a defender as he did against Tennessee. At 6-4, 251, Winslow doesn't have the size to be a killer blocker, but he tries hard.
What matters in the cases of Winslow and Taylor is not the positions they play, but how they stack up against prospects at other positions and how much of an impact they can make. "We'd never say because somebody is a safety that makes him less valuable," Bills general manager Tom Donahoe says. "It's not inconceivable that a safety or tight end could be the first guy in the draft, because for us, it's strictly a matter of evaluating the guy's skill."
The teams that take these players -- no matter how high -- won't be sorry.
