Wide receivers

Local watch: Kevin Robinson

He doesn't have ideal size or speed, but the Utah State product has proven he has the tools to produce. He ranked eighth in the nation in all-purpose yards during his senior season. He'll be a late-round pick (sixth or seventh), and will look to help a team as a kick returner.

Top five:
Player School Ht/Wt
1. Malcolm Kelly Oklahoma 6-3/224
2. Devin Thomas Michigan State 6-2/216
3. Limas Sweed Texas 6-4/215
4. DeSean Jackson California 5-10/169
5. *Dustin Keller Purdue 6-2/242

*Tight end
Sleeper watch: Pierre Garcon, Mount Union

All Garcon did in his collegiate career was dominate Division III football. He had 246 career catches, 60 touchdowns, and a 17.8 yards-per-reception average. He isn't blessed with tremendous speed, but he can obviously produce.
