Top WR in the Draft

[Wesson44]

1. Justin Blackmon*, Oklahoma State WR (6-1, 215): The most explosive receiver in college football has a game that is eerily similar to Terrell Owens'. His combination of size, strength and athleticism overwhelms defenders, and his penchant for playmaking makes him a potential anchor for a sophisticated passing game. Throw in the fact that Oklahoma State's coaches frequently have suggested Blackmon's skills are more advanced than Dez Bryant's at a similar stage, it's easy to place Blackmon at the top of the list.

 

2. Michael Floyd, Notre Dame, WR (6-3, 224): Floyd might rank as the best pass catcher in college football since Larry Fitzgerald. He displays unbelievable ball skills and has a knack for making the acrobatic catch look routine. Although there are questions about his top-end speed, he rarely is tracked from behind in the open field and plays with reckless abandon with the ball in his hands. If he is able to properly address his character issues, Floyd might make the race for the No. 1 spot closer than anyone anticipates.

 

3. Kendall Wright, Baylor, WR (5-10, 190): Wright has scouts drooling over his extraordinary combination of speed, athleticism and burst. He routinely blows past defenders on vertical routes but also flashes the ability to wreak havoc on "catch-and-run" plays on the outside. While he still remains unpolished as a route runner, the potential for Wright to make a Mike Wallace-like impact on the NFL has sent his stock soaring in war rooms across the league.

 

4. Alshon Jeffrey*, South Carolina, WR (6-4, 229): Jeffrey is a jump ball specialist with the size and athleticism that scouts covet in a No. 1 receiver. He excels at coming down with contested balls in traffic and is an indefensible target in the red area. Although he remains unrefined as a route runner and lacks top end speed, Jeffrey's size, strength and movement skills could prompt a team to envision him blossoming into a Plaxico Burress-type playmaker in the passing game.

 

5. Nick Toon, Wisconsin, WR (6-2, 220): Toon has been a bit of a disappointment this season, but his combination of size, strength and ball skills entices scouts. He flashes the ability to make plays between the hashes, while also acting as a sneaky deep threat in the Badgers' passing game. Toon has struggled gaining separation from defenders in tight coverage, but he could improve in that area with more reps and experience. With more teams looking for big, physical receivers to anchor their passing games, Toon's value remains high throughout the league.

 

6. Dwight Jones, North Carolina, WR (6-4, 225): From a production standpoint, it is hard to dispute Jones' inclusion on this list after scoring 11 touchdowns and surpassing the 1,000-yard mark in 2011. He has the combination of size, speed and athleticism to emerge as a No. 1 receiver as a pro, and scouts are excited about his dramatic improvement as a senior. If he can continue to dazzle during the college all-star game circuit, Jones might climb higher on charts around the league.

 

7. Tommy Streeter*, Miami, WR, (6-5, 215): Streeter might be a surprising inclusion on this list, but a close look at his game reveals a big, athletic playmaker with speed to burn. He excels at blowing past defenders on vertical routes and is also a crafty route over the middle. His size and athleticism makes an ideal target as a potential No. 1 receiver. He needs to display better consistency with his hands.

The problem with trying to compile this list is that some of the guys we pick come from some run heavy teams so we have to project what they may do.

 

Here's my list of WRs right now:

1 Alshon Jeffrey So Car 6-4 229 4.56 This kid when the ball is in the air claims it as his. Poor QB play by Garcia has dropped his stock but I have gushed over this kid all year and finally learned how to spell his last name.

 

2 Justin Blackmon OK ST 6-1 215 4.54 This prospect is probably the one who will be game ready in mini camp with the only question being his straight line speed.If he runs sub 4.5 at the Combine he will be the first WR picked.

 

3 Reuben Randle LSU 6-3 208 4.57 Playing for the run heavy Tigers you know this kid can block but when the Tigers need a first down he is the guy even with Jefferson throwing to him.

 

4 Mohamed Sanu Rutgers 6-2 215 4.57 94 catches on the season breaks Larry Fitzgerald's Big East record and Kenny Britt's school record of 87.

 

5 Michael Floyd ND 6-3 224 4.54 This kid's stock has dropped in my eyes because of his injuries. I also question his speed and believe that he will be a solid pro on the next level along the lines of Donald Driver.

 

6 Kendall Wright Baylor 5-10 190 4.42 This is the best shorty of the bunch who is reliable with speed and gets in the endzone.

 

7 Dwight Jones No Car 6-4 225 4.53 Jones is the first upside guy inserted here with the idea that this program that has produced some decentprospects over the past couple of seasons He has great size and speed.

 

8 Nick Toon 6-2 220 4.52 Toon the son of former NFL WR Al Toon has been up and down but he can be clutch and does have experience in a run oriented offense and does a decent job blocking.

 

9 Marvin McNutt 6-2 215 4.52 A very streaky WR at times who when hot can be a game changer !200 plus yards 12 TDs this season backs that up.

 

10 AJ Jenkins 6-0 190 4.49 A Big Ten best 84 receptions on an inconsistent team almost 1200 yards(1196) says this kid could be someone on the rise.His physicality is what most question so he will need to get in the weight room.

speak of the devil. I was about to post "where is McNutt?".... Game i watched of his he looks unstoppable

[Ed Hochuli 3:16]

[lemonej]

The QB made some nice throws. I think McNutt is a top talent but some of the Iowa skill position players under Ferentz haven't transitioned well to the next level with Shonne Greene being the most solid recently and of course Dallas Clark.

The QB made nice throws? That one handed catch vs MSU was 2 feet behind him and 3 feet too high on a slant route.
