Positives - In 2003, Warrick put up over 800 yards and 7 TDs, following up a 600 yard 6 TD 2002. In 2004, Warrick saw limited action due to an injury that kept him out most of the year. Warrick is fast and a dangerous receiver. If he plays as a 3rd WR in the slot for Cincinnati, he will cause some damage.

Negatives - A blown out knee in 2003 followed up by a broken leg in 2004 has crippled Warrick’s short career. It has yet to be seen if he will be able to come back from these injuries and play with any kind of effectiveness.

Draft Strategy - Heavens to Murgatroyd! 22 Rounds? Really? 17½ hours after we started this marathon, of which some people thought the “Unlimited Time” per pick was to be taken literally, I came to my final selection. The fact that I was still awake was miracle enough. But you expect me to be cognizant enough to make a selection as well? Mercy. Peter Warrick was still on the board and seemed like as good a pick as anyone. He may wind up the Bengals #2 WR. He may wind up being cut and playing somewhere else. In the 22nd round of a draft, if you can draft someone with a name other people will recognize, you’re getting some value. Exit, stage left.
