The agent for Oklahoma WR Malcolm Kelly sent an e-mail to GMs and scouting departments declaring his client "fully healed." Not that it means much. What will matter is how Kelly looks at his April 9 Pro Day after reports have circulated questioning the health of both his knees. NFL Network's Mike Mayock indicated last week that they're such a problem Kelly may be removed from some draft boards in April. Source: Nashville Tennessean http://rotoworld.com/content/home_NFL.aspx
03/31/08 - The agent for Oklahoma wide receiver Malcolm Kelly is trying to reassure NFL teams that his client is completely healed from a thigh injury and has no lingering knee problems. Agent Chad Speck sent a letter to all 32 NFL teams Monday, along with a letter from the doctor who has been treating Kelly, to let them know that the receiver projected as a possible first-round draft pick is healthy. The injury first was diagnosed as a deep thigh bruise, but Kelly actually had a small quadriceps tear. The agent also pointed out that Dr. Michael Hatrak of Alpharetta, Ga., also found "all other structures assessed within normal limits." Kelly tore an ACL in junior high and had arthroscopic knee surgery during his sophomore year at Oklahoma. "The intent of the letter is certainly to end speculation on Malcolm's health status," Speck said. "He is 100 percent healthy and as Dr. Hatrak states, has no further risk of injury." Hatrak diagnosed Kelly with the "slight quadriceps tear" on Feb. 14, and cleared the receiver for full training March 20. Kelly did not work out at the combine in February or at Oklahoma's first Pro Day. "The rumors that are currently circulating regarding his knees are irresponsible and untrue!" Speck wrote to NFL general managers and scouts. Speck said Kelly, who declared for the draft after his junior season, will take part in every drill at Oklahoma's next pro day on April 9. - AP Sports, USA TODAY Sports
Thanks for the info. I didn't know he had problems with his knees. I kind of like Sweed and Hardy a little more at WR.
Bills coack Dick Jauron said Tuesday that he has no problem with the health of Oklahoma WR Malcolm Kelly's knees. The Buffalo News calls Kelly a "prime candidate" to be drafted by Buffalo at No. 12 overall. Kelly remains on schedule to hold a private workout April 9.

I would be shocked if Buffalo didn't draft Malcom Kelly in the 1st round. And if they do, I hope he really does have bum knees!
At first overall? No way in hell!! Sorry April 1 is still here McShays latest mock has the Bills taking him. But man, imo its a bit of a reach anyway, and with questionable knees .... Hard to justify passing on some of the other talent. Still, the guys got the game to complement Evans well. But man, pulling a Yatil Green would set them back. Almost thing Crazy old Levy was still around!!
DUDE!!!!! You cannot "slip" to first overall......he meant do yo think we would take him if he slipped to # 32.
