I am on the Cody Latimer bandwagon

As I said, I think he's a poor man's Dwayne Bowe. That 4.39 (best case) doesn't translate to the field very well. He can't separate like Beckham or Moncrief. And he's not as good a receiver as Matthews, Norwood, Street, Robinson or the like.

If I'm taking a fast guy with size, I'd much rather have Moncrief way, way before Latimer and Bryant easily before him as well.

He got a third round grade by the NFL advisory board and was only Honorable Mention on the coaches team in his conference.

Dude is stiff. I think he's a #3 WR in the NFL due to his inability to separate and delays in getting into his breaks. Like I said, Indiana really only used him as an outside go and fade guy. He doesn't look like he's got the physical agility to maneuver against NFL level corners.

I seem to remember Bowe running a 4.5?? Cody has pretty good hands. You say he can't get separation, but he put on a clinic vs Dennard.

Remember Cody did all his drills with a foot that hasn't recovered from injury.

BTW, I agree that Moncrief is the better prospect....but only just. I like Mathews but I don't think he's as good as the hype surrounding him.
