For those who watched the Hula bowl..

Did anyone see Brandon Marshall WR UCF, who had over 100 yards receiving and a TD in the game...this kid is a monster@6'6 :eek: ...bad thing about it is he didn't even get invited to the combine.. I know we have three young recievers from last years draft class...but this guy is definatly further along than Larry Brackins is as far as his routes and the simple fact he played better competition throughout his college career. Would anyone go for drafting this guy in a later round?

Defanatley, we could use him as our 3rd WR later down the road, he's great at jump balls, and running the deep route.

Yeah, I'd like to see him drafted later on.

Did Barrick Nealy improve at all? I know he was struggling early on, and I didn't catch the second half.

You know there were plenty of times in the last couple weeks where I thought about starting a thread about Brandon Marshall because I attend UCF but I didn't want to sound like a homer lol. IMO this kid would be a steal in the later rounds of the draft, if you happened to see UCF's bowl game this year he had over 200 yards recieving and 3 Td's including one with under a minute left to play to send the game into OT. He has a knack for the big play and he is great inside the redzone with his size, I would be ecstatic if the Bucs drafted him. :)

[UCFjayrod09]

I believe he was second among all recievers for yardage in a bowl game this year

Scouts have him going second-day 4th-5th. But I think his stock will rise soon. I wouldn't mind having this guy here at all, although I'm stuck between him and Cory Rodgers WR, TCU in my mock due to his stellar return skills. Does anyone know Marshall's 40 time?

[Yung-Buc-Ant]

Regardless of 40 timeI think he will be a very good possesion receiver that can make a lot of mismatches with smaller corners. I've seen him play before and he is strong enough to break the jam and he has good straight ahead speed. Also athletic enough to make someone miss or he'll run him over. A Xeno(Red)-Zone TD threat. Throw him the jump ball. Sorry I'm a homer I go to UCF. I atleast think he could be better than Doug Gabriel.

I went on nfldraftcountdown.com and I noticed that they did not have Brandon in the rankings for WR. Like one of you said, he could be a steal in the later rounds maybe second day.

Unofficial results I saw for Marshall: 6'4 1/2", 229, 4.50, which is exactly what Gruden has said he likes in a receiver
