Future replacement for Jermaine Kearse. :irishdrinkers:

Strong blocker and route runner with solid hands.

If by that you mean, average receiver, yep!

He can also make the spectacular catch over his shoulder, like Kearse, and it's important for us to have a strong run blocker at WR.

Good pick.

My wife is a big Michigan fan, so I end up having to watch them a lot. Darboh stood out in most games. Tough guy, had a lot of clutch moments.

Out here
I really wanted Chad Hansen from USC. But Darboh seems solid. Seems like he's more of a deep threat than a chain mover.

And as much as I move Kearse's memories, I'm hoping that Darboh can put an end to his tenure here.

This was definitely to challenge or replace Kearse. Really similar players however I think Darboh is more of a threat to catch outside towards the sideline. Kearse never became the guy for 3rd and short....Darboh CAN BE

He had a pretty big game against the Buckeyes vaunted CB duo. 8-68 and a TD ain't bad in a big game

I love this pick . Seattle needed a legit threat other than Doug no disrespect to the other WR's on the team but I think this guy has some tools they don't have.

This guy is going to be the next Joey Galloway

As long as he gets us 2 1st rounders if he holds out then I'm good with that :irishdrinkers:

Ok, that made laugh. :2thumbs:

I'm pretty sure he has the skillset to be Sidney Rice and Jermaine Kearse combined. A deep guy in certain situations but primarily a boundry catcher and guy that catches contested passes anywhere.
