Top 5 wide receiver prospects

1. Dez Bryant - Dez Bryant has a ton of talent. He has size and decent speed. Questions linger about how passionate he is about the game of football. He should still go top 15. The early entry was also suspended this past year at Oklahoma St. Denver, Miami, Cleveland, Seattle could all be landing spots.

2. Golden Tate - Tate has been a star since high school. A top ten ranked high school player had a good college career. Tate has great hands and good speed. A constant target for Jimmy Clausen at Notre dame. He reminds me of a Steve Smith type player. He may end up having the best career of all the receivers in his class. Tate could be a great slot receiver and eventually number 1 guy for someone. I don't see him falling past the Jets in the first round.

3. Arrelious Benn - Benn has excellent size and speed. His stats at Illinois suffered due to a poor quarterback in Juice Williams. Benn is also a good kick returner. He should go late first to mid second round. Terrific value for him. He could be a great fit for many teams.

4. Demaryius Thomas - Thomas didn't get many looks in the Georgia Tech Offense. If he had played in a passing offense he could be considered the number one guy at the position. Thomas could land in the late first round. He's a big player for the position at 6'3'' 229lbs.

5. Andre Roberts - Roberts is a small school player from the Citadel. He broke many records while playing in college. Roberts is a smaller prospect at 5'11' 190lbs. He had a nice week during senior bowl week in practice. Roberts didn't have a huge game but was solid enough. Andre could go late second, or find himself in the fourth. This is a sleeper pick for someone. He runs in the 4.4's and also returns kicks. Roberts should be a great slot receiver.

Other notable players: Damian Williams from USC has good size and experience. Should come off the boards in the second round. Blair White out of Michigan St is a slower wide receiver but runs solid routes. Dexter McCluster played running back at Ole Miss. Dexter could be a player that lines up all over the field. Getting 5-10 carries and out wide. McCluster is a tiny guy, but plays like he's 220lbs.
