Title: ***NFL Draft Preview: Brandon Lloyd***
Post by BarnabyWilde on Feb 4^th, 2003, 8:06pm

Brandon Lloyd
Wide Receiver
Illinois
6-1, 185 pounds

Aside from maybe Charles Rogers, Lloyd may be the most athletic receiver in this years draft. At 6-1 185, he is a little on the small side, but he more than makes up for it with his vertical leap. He also has great lateral movement and is very quick while breaking laterally while running his routes.

Draft Prognosis: Could move up after his combine workout, but I see Lloyd going somewhere late in the first, maybe to the Giants, 49ers, or Falcons

If you see him possibly going to the Giants, then I guess it's safe to assume that Ike is not going to be a priority to resign in the offseason?

Hasn't Ike said he doesn't want to sign with the Giants again? I thought he said he was tired of his role there(or lack of it).

I am not sure that Lloyd will go in the first round. I see too many quality defense players and o-lineman for him to go in the first round. But, with that being said, the WR free agents out there are nothing to write home about so maybe there will be a higher demand for WR in the draft.

Hilliard and Fassel do not get along very well, and Ike had said several times after the big blow out with Fassel last year he wants out.

Important info on the possibility of Ike Hilliard's remaining a Giant on the following thread:
