Though it appears Braylon will never be a possession WR with hands of glue, I still have confidence that he'll bounce back into the top 10. Aside from hands, his other attributes are off the charts.
He's top 5 in all categories except for hands.
TO ended up having a HoF career and he dropped the ball like this too.
Don't believe me? I could only find a clip from practice but it was almost exactly like Edwards drop.

The time to buy Edwards was a few games into this season. Then, when he went to the Jets, his perceived value shot up. He's shown some great things in NY, like almost getting 2 TDs in his very first game there. But, a clip like this plastered all over Sports Center will make his price possible to pursue.
Buy him.
Kris, with all due respect, that's like saying a QB is top-5 in all categories except
passing.
Allen, when you break down players, I assume you look at various traits as I do. When looking at a WR for example, I look at speed, height, weight, cutting ability, leaping ability, body control, smoothness, ball tracking, hands, etcetera. A RB would break down with speed, height, weight, vision, power, cutting ability, hands, blah, blah, blah.
What I was getting at is that from almost every aspect Edwards has elite, top 5, ability. His hands and current situation keep him out of the top 5. Situation should continue to get better as Sanchez develops. His hands will probably always be suspect. However, Terrell Owens has ALWAYS had terrible hands. He drops easy passes in the end zone every year and he drops long balls almost as bad as that one that Edwards had. And, year after year he was a top 5 WR. But, Owens got to play with Steve Young (Hall of Famer), Garcia, McNabb and Romo. Owens was a stud every year while working with good QBs. How's he doing with a bottom end QB for the first time this year? In my league he's ranked 29th currently for WRs this year.
I'm not saying that Edwards is about to become a perennial top 5 WR even if Sanchez develops into good QB. But, he has the ability to do so. And, even though the drops will frustrate his owners as well as his NFL team. He, like Owens, doesn't necessarily need to have even average hands to be a stud.
Nice line though.
