Please allow me to introduce to you the steal of this here upcoming draft. Meet Alabama-Birmingham's Joe Webb.

Atlanta Falcons star Roddy White, an ex-Blazer, watched the first two drills and started shaking his head while displaying a can-you-believe-that? grin.

Joe's 6'-3", 225 lbs. and runs a 4.4 40. Joe's got a vertical leap of 42.5" and did 21 reps with, essentially, his body weight. Now, Joe played QB the last two years for the Blazers(2300 yds passing, 1427 rushing 21 TD passes, 11 rushing, and 1 receiving last year alone) but did a stint at WR as a sophomore and is, in general, a phenomenal athlete. This guy, as a receiver, will have some learning to do as far as route-running but, with his size, speed, and leaping ability, he could be a home-run threat right off the bat. His strength should leave jamming corners shaking their heads. Though one article I've seen compares him to former Arkansas QB and current Bengal wideout, Matt Jones, I'm picturing a more involved in the offense, less of a return specialist, Josh Cribbs. Could serve also as a legit backup QB, probably number three, and take some snaps as a triple threat in the Wildcat. Pending his stock rising even more, Joe Webb should be available in the mid to late 3rd. I hear the Steelers are interested- one more reason to pluck him before they get a chance. ; )
