The Welker comparisons are valid IMO because of the short, choppy steps he takes. Also, he's white and all white receivers must be compared to Welker. The inverse of the Rooney Rule, if you will.

We should track and see how many times they compare white WRs drafted to Welker as opposed to black ones. Maybe sue Kiper for $$$?

Im pretty sure he is 6' even. He was a very successful RB in high school like Welker- which may explain the short, choppy steps and open field running. Swope is easy to like, though he is a bit injury prone.

I'm excited to see his 3-cone at the combine and shuttle. Anyone know his hand size?

A bit small but I don't remember exactly. I think there's a report in the senior bowl thread.

Swope doesn't have anywhere near Welkers short area quickness nor his acceleration. From 0 to 30 yds Welker is as fast as anyone, he just doesn't have long speed. Swope can catch the ball but in the slot you want someone with better quickness and outside you want someone who plays taller with long speed. He's probably a #4 Chris Horn/Marc Boerigter type of guy.

I like swope and he'll be a good NFL reciever but we need to take a CB where he will be drafted

I thought Swope looked incredibly awkward yesterday. I wasn't impressed by his route running and his hands were just a mess.
Yeah, he was a hell of a lot faster than I expected, but he also looked like a very unnatural player and those kinds of guys get exposed at this level. I think Woods blew Swope off the page yesterday and I think they'll both go around the same time.
