1.  Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech

Ht - 6-3, Wt - 214, 40 - 4.50

2.  Jeremy Maclin, Missouri
Ht - 6-1, Wt - 200, 40 - 4.40

3.  Darrius Heyward-Bey, Maryland

Ht - 6-3, Wt - 206, 40 - 4.40


4.  Kenny Britt, Rutgers
Ht - 6-4, Wt - 205, 40 - 4.50

5.  Brian Robiskie, Ohio State
Ht - 6-3, Wt - 200, 40 - 4.50

6.  Hakeem Nicks, North Carolina
Ht - 6-1, Wt - 210, 40 - 4.60
Amazing hands, but speed could be an issue.  Not many receivers who run over a 4.55 have done well int he NFL.


7.  Percy Harvin, Florida
Ht - 5-11, Wt - 195, 40 - 4.35

8.  Juaquin Inglesias, Oklahoma
Ht - 6-0, Wt - 205, 40 - 4.50

9.  Derrick Williams, Penn St.


10.  Ramses Barden, Cal Poly
Ht - 6-6, Wt - 224, 40 - 4.60
This year's top small school prospect.  Barden is going to turn heads by his 6-6 frame alone.  He though has the stats to back it up:  last year he had 19 TDs with 25.7 YPC.  His biggest weakness is his speed, where 4.60 may be a generous time.  If history tell us anything, tall wide receivers with poor 40 times have not done well in the NFL (Mike Williams).  A solid timing though could boost his stock toward the middle to late 2nd round.  Last year, Coastal Carolina's Jerome Simpson was drafted in the 2nd round by Cincinnati.

Ht - 6-0, Wt - 195, 40 - 4.45

11.  Mohamed Massaquoi, Georgia
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 198, 40 - 4.45

12.  Mike Thomas, Arizona
Ht - 5-8, Wt - 195, 40 - 4.30

13.  Louis Murphy, Florida
Ht - 6-1, Wt - 195, 40 - 4.40

14.  Brandon Tate, North Carolina
Ht - 6-1, Wt - 195, 40 - 4.50
All around excellent receiver, suffered a season ending injury that probably will affect his draft stock. 

15.  Kevin Ogletree, Virginia
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 190, 40 - 4.50

16.  Jarett Dillard, Rice
Ht - 5-11, Wt - 175, 40 - 4.55

17.  Austin Collie, BYU
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 206, 40 - 4.55
Had a great past season with 106 catfches, 1,538 yards, and 16 TDs.  Would have benefited coming back for his senior season.

18.  Johnny Knox, Abilene Christian
Ht - 6-0, Wt - 185, 40 - 4.29

19.  Kenny McKinley, South Carolina
Ht - 6-0, Wt - 182, 40 - 4.50

20.  Brandon Gibson, Washington St.
Ht - 6-1, Wt - 202, 40 - 4.55

21.  Quan Cosby, Texas
Ht - 5-11, Wt - 205, 40 - 4.50
26 years old already.  Great possession receiver, just ask Colt McCoy.


22.  Mike Wallace, Ole Miss.
Ht - 6-1, Wt - 199, 40 - 4.28

23.  Sammie Stroughter, Oregon St.
Ht - 6-0, Wt - 190, 40 - 4.50
All Pac-10 1st team, and Pac-10 1st team Academic.

24.  Darius Passmore, Marshall
Ht - 6-1, Wt - 188, 40 - 4.51

25.  Aaron Kelly, Clemson
Ht - 6-5, Wt - 190, 40 - 4.60

26.  Patrick Turner, USC
Ht - 6-5, Wt - 223, 40 - 4.60

27.  Tiquan Underwood, Rutgers
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 180, 40 - 4.45

28.  Brooks Foster, North Carolina
Ht - 6-3, Wt - 205, 40 - 4.45

29.  Deon Butler, Penn St.
Ht - 5-11, Wt - 182, 40 - 4.31

30.  Brian Hartline, Ohio State
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 190, 40 - 4.50
Loss production due to Terrelle Pryor taking over at quarterback.  Was a solid punt returner for the Buckeyes.  Dropped many catchable balls this past season.  Would have been better suited staying in school.  Probably felt with Pryor at QB, would get less passes his way.


31.  Demetrius Byrd, LSU
Ht - 6-2, Wt - 195, 40 - 4.50

32. Marko Mitchell, Nevada
Ht - 6-4, Wt - 200, 40 - 4.50

Ht - 6-5, Wt - 240, 40 - 4.55
