If Swope were the guy, and he sounds like he'd fit nicely, we would still expect (or at least I would) a bit of a learning curve ala what Tate went through. Perhaps not as long, but he'll probably still take a season or two to really "get" it.
The impression I have is Swope is already a couple of years ahead of Tate in route-running simply because of his god-given talents in his lower body.
Watch the position drills from yesterday and watch the crispness of his cuts and his acceleration coming out of those cuts.
Tate will never achieve what Swope is already capable of in that regard.
And besides having blazing (4.34) straight-line speed, Swope appears to have fast-twitch quickness as well.
Used properly, he's a faster, bigger version of Russ Welker.
If the Hawks or the Packers don't grab him, the Patriots will.
im assuming u mean wes welker?!? never heard of russ welker lol but def see where u are coming from! i can see patriots picking him up jus for that reason alone! be interesting to see where he goes in the coming months

He should go the route of his QB and trademark the name "Opie Football" as that would be a geat nickname for him.

Keep that dude away from the Pats. He reminded me of a faster Wes Welker everytime I watched A&M this year.
The Pats hell, just keep him away from the 49rs.

Which means the Hawks gotta draft him before the Whiners do.

People are projecting us to pick Swope in the third just like they pegged us to pick Irwin last year in the third. Last year I kept thinking, if Irwin is such a stud, why will he last until the third? This year I'm asking, how can Swope make it past the second round? I'd love to see us get Swope, and I'll be amazed if it's in the third round.
