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.

Is he a Junior?

I guess he wants to be a top 15 pick then for next years draft.

Then its Sweed.

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

1) DT Dexter Lawrence - Clemson
2) DE Jaylon Ferguson - Lousiana Tech
3) OG Chris Lindstrom - Boston College
4) CB Amani Oruwariye - Penn State

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.

What about Marcus Monk. Only knock on him is that he has had injurys.

I really like Hall if he can be had in the 3rd.

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.

He may be the most dynamic, but I don't consider that as the best.

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.

I love Rivers, but at this point, if we took him before the chargers pick I would be salty.
