Surprised of the difference of houses Bernard and Shakir, 3rd rounder vs 5th rounder. Many of us here on this board have a house better than Shakir's.
High praises from Eric Moulds, comparing Shakir to Marvin Harrison, not the one who is going to be drafted tonight. But the comment on Shakir's slot WR legs is very true - already we saw a number of times he went down to get a low ball from Josh and break tackles that you don't expect, like the Steelers game TD.
Bernard just came across having so much confidence than Shakir, like this is what I'm supposed to be, a leader. You get the sense that he is a natural to call plays vs Edmunds, who I always got a sense of somewhat forced. I won't be surprised he's voted into a captain in Sept.
Young players, prototypical McDermott process guys, not much life outside of football right now, still very hungry for that 2nd contract. But life changes. If both of them continue to progress in a couple of years and become NFL wide stars, limelight/celebrity status, may change things. Look at Josh, from a farmer's boy to not well known school QB to a project in NFL to where he is now. We'll see.
