2007 NFL Draft Player Reviews - Top 10 Wide Receivers

With about two months to the upcoming NFL Draft in late April, here are my 10 Top Ten Wide Receivers in this years Draft.

1. Calvin Johnson - Georgia Tech - He is the most physically gifted WR to enter the draft since Randy Moss. He has all the tools to be a difference maker right away. He is the top WR in this class and will be a top 5 pick in the April draft.

2. Dwayne Jarrett - USC - Jarrett's game is different then former USC WR mike Williams (who was 20 pounds heavier coming out of college). Jarrett has made big plays his whole career at USC leaving the PAC 10 as it's all-time TD catch leader. The only knock on his is his lack of straight line speed. I look forDwayne to be a top 10 pick in this April's draft.

3. Ted Ginn Jr.- Ohio State - Ginn is a special player that has added value due to his return ability. He has world class speed and is improving annually as a WR. He has the frame to add weight and keep his speed as well as get stronger. ted falls in the 10-20 ranger as for as where he is projected to go in the 1st round.

4. Sidney Rice - S. Carolina - Rice has put up some impressive numbers at S. Carolina averaging over 1,100 yards and 12 TD's in his 2 seasons. He has outstanding leaping ability and nice hands. he may go up or down draft boards depending on his 40 time. Rice could be in the mid-to late first round range, which I think is a BARGIN for his talent!!

5. Robert Meacham - Tennessee - Meachem really blossomed this past season for the Vols. He has deceptive speed and fight for the ball when it is in the air. He reminds me of Javon Walker coming out of college. Meacham is be in the mid-to late first round range.

6. Dwayne Bowe - LSU - Bowe is the prototypical West Coast WR. He has great size, he fights for the ball in the air, is a big red zone threat and has really surprising speed. Bowe had an OUTSTANDING Sr. Bowl week and moved up many draft boards. He is now in the mid-to late first round or early 2nd round range.

7. Johnnie Lee Higgins - UTEP - Higgins is a burner, plain and simple. He has played fairly consistent throughout his college career (considering his college QB was inconsistent) and is an outstanding return man.

8. Anthony Gonzalez - Ohio St.- I have concerns about Gonzalez's game on the pro level. He was shutdown after Ted Ginn was hurt in the BCS title game. He has above average hands and deceptive speed.

9. Craig Davis - LSU - Davis is a player that plays fast. He has great speed and still can grow into his frame. His skills have gotten better each year as well.

10. Steve Smith - USC - All Smith did during his career was make plays. He was the go-to WR when the Trojans needed a first down. He understands the position well and knows how to find the holes in zone coverage. He left Venice H.S. as California's all time interception leader as well as TD reception leader.

SLEEPER:

Jacoby Jones - Lane College - Jones' ability was showcased at the Shrine Game where he showed he can compete with the "big boys". Jones has exceptional speed and size. He reminds some of Terrell Owens coming out of Mid. Tennessee St. but without the attitude. His ability to return kicks and punts is an added bonus.
