Jackson's looking like Ginn-lite. I like Bowman, though if healthy. Good size, decent speed is a great combination that few (but usually good) WR's have (such as TO, Moss, Andre Johnson, Roy Williams, etc). Limas Sweed is good but slow and likewise has some injury issues. If Malcolm Kelly declares, he's also a very good candidate. I always found tall WR's to my liking since they can outjump defenders and if they have decent speed and hands, are good enough deep threats.
depends who declares, out of the seniors its Jordy Nelson or Early Doucet but if its including juniors probably Malcolm Kelly or DeSean Jackson
Jackson from Appalachian State is someone to keep an eye on. playmaking ability, tremendous speed. Tough to tell until the all star games but he looks real good and may be a 3rd to 5th round draft choice. Could be a great sleeper
One that could be had in the later rounds could be DJ Hall out of Alabama. He has nice size, 6'3 195, and from what I've seen from him he has very good hands and is pretty fast. I haven't watched a ton of Alabama games so I really don't know the knocks against him, but he has impressed me in a couple of the game I've seen him.
I've heard no rumors about Hardy here in IU country. But that being said...it wouldn't shock me. He's had a solid year. What about the kid from Michigan?
Manningham? Seen him play he flat out choked in the Ohio ST game. He dropped atleast 3-4 passes. Had chances on making plays down field. He is going to be a great WR. Nice size and speed. Plus his fav team is the Dolphins.
Hardy is a beast . . . I think if he were to declare and has a good combine, he would be a first round lock. That being said, if he came back another year and Indiana improved . . . he could be top 15. Best WR in the nation . . . how about the kid from Oklahoma (Kelly?) . . . or both of the Louiville WR's . . . Douglas and Urrudia.
Hardy from Indiana is the wide out that opened my eyes. He is an amazing talent and when i watched him he was just amazing. He would most likely go mid 1st. Another guy to keep an eye on is Bennet from Texas AM. I heard he was talking about coming out. He has great size and Ive heard hes good.
I agree. He's a home-run hitter but he's not going to give you the best batting average. Hardly a go-to guy. And he will miss those easy grabs or run a bad route. I remember seeing him this year against us and he could've gone for 200+ easily the way our CB's were playing. Really reminds me of a Chris Chambers type of WR.
rivers from hawaii; and he'll likely be available with our first #2. edit: not the best in the draft, but one i like better than most.
These are the receivers I like 1 Early Ducet- LSU 2 TE/ WR Travis Beckum- Wisconsin 3 Jordy Nelson-Kansas St 4 DJ Hall- Alabama 5 Malcom Kelly-Sooners 6 Harry Douglas-Louivile
I don't think it's as deep or as talented as last year's. Last year's has Calvin Johnson, Dwayne Bowe, Anthony Gonzalez, Sidney Rice, and even James Jones all going at least 80 yards in a game this season and all have become focal targets for their teams. If Hardy, Kelly, and Bowman impress though, could be a different story. I just hope we can land one of those 3 big WR's.
i think is Jackson falls to us in at 32 he is a must Pick up for us Him and Ginn on the field togther would be a fast WR Tandom
I think speed's highly overrated. Good offenses field at least 1 reliable and good option over 6'2-6'3. Dallas has TO, Witten. New England has Moss and Watson. Indy has Dallas Clark. Packers have Donald Lee. Browns with Edwards and Winslow. The list just goes on. We already have our speed guy. Let's try to get our big guy and maybe a guy who can find the holes in the coverage ala Marvin Harrison, heck even Wes Welker. Ginn hasn't really made an impact on the receiving end though whether it's the QB's fault or the WR not getting open or both, who knows.
There is a tone of WRs all the way through 3 rounds. Also if the Juniors declare look out this could be a very talented and deep WR class
