WR
1. Braylon Edwards (6-3, 208)(4.45) - Very
good size and speed. Has tremendous leaping ability and isn’t shy about going up and taking the ball away from defenders.
Has been very productive for Michigan, catching at least 80 balls the last two seasons. Could use to gain a little weight,
but in this years draft class 208 is pretty big. Won Billitnicough Award in ‘04. Should be first or second receiver
taken depending on Mike Williams.
2. Mike Williams *(6-4, 228)(4.56) - A monster of an athlete. Even
though his speed isn’t tremendous his size, strength, and his ability to catch the ball anywhere on the field make him
very dangerous. Has an incredible vertical jump. Tried to come out last year with Clarrett, but was denied. He had to sit
out this season which could hurt a little, but with a could workout at the combine he should be
the first receiver taken.
3. Roddy White (6-3, 205)(4.4) - He has good size and speed. Has
been a reliable deep threat for UAB, with a career average of 18.5 yards per catch, and could do the same in the NFL. Coming
form a small school like UAB could hurt, but he has the potential to shine at the next level.
4. Mark Clayton (5-11, 187)(4.47) - He’s been a productive
receiver for the Sooners hauling in 31 career touchdowns. But his size with definitely be a factor come draft day. And he
doesn’t have the speed you would expect for a guy that only weighs 187 lbs. Probable first round pick, but his stock
could be dropping. The weight room should be his best friend for the next few months.
5. Troy Williamson *(6-2, 200)(4.4) - He has good size and speed,
but a few pounds before draft day could only help. Didn’t put up incredible numbers in college, but his speed, and his
reliable hands make him an attractive prospect at the next level.
6.Fred Gibson (6-4, 202)(4.5) - He has the size and hands to be
an NFL receiver, but his speed could hurt him. And the fact that he has struggled with injuries pretty much his whole career
won’t help any either
7.Chris Henry *(6-4, 195)(4.5) - Has good height, but absolutely
needs to gain some weight. His speed is suspect. But he’s been a constant deep threat for the Mountaineers averaging
20.5 yards per catch. Some off the field issues could worry some franchises.
8. Josh Davis (6-1, 190)(4.5) - Has been a very productive receiver
his whole career never catching less than 60 balls a season. Like most of this draft class he need to hit the weight room
and bulk up. He’s lacking in the speed department but his seemingly reliable hands should make up for it.
9. Carphonso Thorpe (6-2, 177)(4.37) - He’s got blazing speed,
but his size is a concern. How many NFL hits can a 177 lbs. Frame take? Has been a constant deep threat for the Seminoles
average 18.2 yards per catch.
10. Taylor Stubblefield (6-1, 182)(4.65) - As seems to be the trend,
this year he could also stand to gain a few pounds. But he runs very crisp routes, and displayed his reliable hands quite
often in Purdue’s pass heavy offense. He was quite productive while there, catching 80 balls the last two seasons and
setting the Big Ten record for most receptions in a career. Speed leaves alot to be desired though.
11.Reggie Brown (6-1, 197)(4.5) - He has decent size, but needs
to work on his speed. Was really forced into being the number one guys in Georgia most of his career because of Gibson’s
history of injuries, and for the most part did a good job.
12. Steve Savoy *(5-11, 191)(4.46) - He definitely needs to gain
some weight, and his height isn’t great, but his hands and his speed are quite attractive. And the fact that he has
a 35 inch vertical jump doesn’t hurt any either.
13.Terrence Murphy (6-1, 193)(4.4) - Doesn’t have great size
but good speed.
14. J.R. Russell (6-3, 204)(4.52) - He has the size to compete at
the next level, but his speed is only average. Really came into his own later in his college career, and could have caused
his stock to rise with a good performance at the East/West shrine game.
15. Roscoe Parrish *(5-9, 172)(4.35) - His size will be a real issue
come draft day, and will likely overshadow his good hands and ability to make people miss in the open field. His speed will
likely get him drafted as a special team specialist.
16. Vincent Jackson (6-6, 235)(4.53) - His size is great, but because
of it he may be more suited to play tight end in the NFL. His speed could make him a very attractive tight end prospect at
the next level as well. He was very attractive throughout his college career, but unfortunately it was at 1-AA Northern Colorado.
17. Lance Moore (5-11, 184)(4.46) - A very reliable, very productive
receiver throughout his college career. Being the only receiver in the draft to catch over 100 balls in a single season show
his hands are dangerous. But his size and the possibility of him being a deep threat are both questions.
18. Chase Lyman (6-4, 210)(4.45) - He has the ideal size and speed
that NFL franchises look for. However injuries have limited his chances to show his productiveness.
19. Jerome Mathis (6-0, 180)(4.41) - His speed is great and so is
the fact that he’s a dangerous deep threat, averaging 26.6 yards per catch. But his size and the fact that he played
at 1-AA Hampton could affect his draft status.
20. Mark Bradley (6-2, 198)(4.47) - His size and
speed are decent but not exceptional. Struggled with injuries during his career at Oklahoma.
21. Brandon Jones (6-3,214)(4.58) - His speed isn’t
very attractive but his size is. Had some injuries during his career that could worry some NFL clubs.
22. Paris Warren (6-1, 211)(4.55) - His
hands have proven reliable while at Utah. Really excelled in a difficult offensive scheme. Good blocker.
23. Geoff McArthur (6-1, 200)(4.6) - He’s
got good hands, and runs very crisp routes. But his awful speed and his injury plagued career may overshadow those attributes.

TE
1. Heath Miller *(6-5, 255)(4.65) - Has great size and speed, and even better hands. He lead UVA in receptions in ‘03 and ‘04. And in ‘03
lead all tight ends in the nation in receptions. Easily the first TE taken on draft day.
2. Alex Smith (6-5, 255)(4.8) -
Good size, but suspect speed. Has reliable hands and blocks well.
3. Kevin Everett (6-6, 251)(4.77) -
He’s a good deep threat. Doesn’t have the athletic ability of the likes of Shockey or Winslow, but still has a
knack for making plays.
4. Joel Dreessen (6-4, 260)(4.79) - He’ s got good size, but could work on his speed. His strength is blocking, but his receiving skills
really improved his senior year. Had some injuries that could worry some franchises.
5. Adam Bergen (6-5, 260)(4.77) - He has great size and speed. He’s also been very productive during his time in college hauling in 70
catches in ‘03. Unfortunately he played for 1-AA Lehigh.
6. Eric Knott (6-3, 249)(4.75) - Has good hands, catching at least 30 balls in ‘02 and ‘03. But he struggled with nagging injuries
late in his career. He’s also a good deep threat averaging 12.2 yards per catch.
7. Garrett Cross (6-5, 230)(4.7) -
He’s got good speed, but needs to gain some weight. Needs to work on his blocking
skills as well. Struggled the last two seasons with injury.
8. Dave Kashetta (6-4, 256)(4.7) -
He’s got good speed, and isn’t afraid to go deep or over the middle. But his constant struggle with injuries raises
some questions about his longevity.
9. Billy Bajema (6-5, 265)(4.77) -
Even though his career was plagued by injury, he still managed to put together a respectable career yards per catch average
of 14.13 yards per catch.
10. Alex Holmes (6-3, 270)(4.75) -
Good hands, but really excels at run blocking. NFL teams could be extremely wary of his past injuries that forced him to miss
all of ’03 though.
11. Bo Scaife (6-3, 250)(4.77) -
Put together a respectable senior season, hauling in 21 passes.
