Robert Herron, WR, Wyoming

Buccaneers, Round 6. He could probably slide into the slot on the team, and , with Jackson, Evans, and Seferian-Jenkins taking a lot of attention, Herron could provide solid, if unspectacular, production. All-Star Games: Senior Bowl. Positives: Though he is short … Continue reading

Austin Franklin, WR, New Mexico State

UDFA. Signed by the Rams as a UDFA but was released in August. Was a junior. Has enough athleticism and receiving skills to stick on a roster somewhere, but I’m not sure where. Positives: Above-average hand size. Above-average quickness. Adequate hands, … Continue reading

TJ Jones, WR/PR, Notre Dame

Lions, Round 6. Drafted by a Lions as probably their third or fourth wide receiver. Will probably back up Golden Tate but would probably do fairly well if he had to be a starter, too. All-Star Games: Invited to Shrine Game … Continue reading

Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State

Panthers, Round 1. Was a redshirt sophomore. Another wide receiver who went pretty much exactly where we expected him to in the draft – at the end of Round 1. And he ends up in a fantastic situation for him, … Continue reading

Martavis Bryant, WR/KR, Clemson

Steelers, Round 4. Was a junior. He enters a WR corps as probably the fourth-best guy, but he provides the size and the red-zone target the team’s been trying to rediscover for years since Plaxico Burress left town the first time. … Continue reading

Devin Street, WR, Pittsburgh

Cowboys, Round 5. With his size, hands, and route-running ability, I’m a little surprised he went this late in the draft. It’s an OK situation for him, with only Dez Bryant definitely ahead of him. Terrance Williams is their other young, … Continue reading

“Philly” Corey Brown, WR, Ohio State

Panthers, UDFA. Positives: Adequate hand size. Good hands and can snag off-target passes. Above-average quickness and acceleration. Nimble and can extend very well. Consistently spins for more yards. Fights through contact. Above-average balance after contact. Adjusts fairly well to off-target … Continue reading

Donte Moncrief, WR, Mississippi

Colts, Round 3. Was a junior. Rated as my 16th-best WR going in, he went 14th to the Colts. His combination of size, speed, hands, and effort are going to serve him well in catching passes from Andrew Luck. He should … Continue reading

Alfred Blue, RB/FB, Louisiana State

Texans, Round 6. Was a junior. I don’t see an NFL future for him, but he does fit better in Houston than at most other teams. But he’s behind Arian Foster, Dennis Johnson, and Ray Graham off the bat. Positives: Okay … Continue reading
