Scouting the NFL Draft: Wide receivers
Published 5:42 am PDT Friday, April 25, 2008
1. Devin Thomas, 6-2, 210, Jr., Michigan State: Great size and excellent body control, Thomas' only flaw is that he is a junior and hasn't shown consistency.
2. DeSean Jackson, 5-10, 169, Jr., Cal: His slight frame has scouts concerned he'll have trouble getting off the line of scrimmage, but he has rare speed and will pay off immediately as a returner.
3. Limas Sweed, 6-4, 210, Sr., Texas: A big and physical receiver who will fight for the ball in the air. Sweed, however, lacks elite speed and has durability concerns.
4. Early Doucet, 6-0, 203, Sr., LSU: Doucet was the best receiver at the Senior Bowl until a hamstring issue knocked him out of the game. He also was hurt quite a bit as a senior.
5. Mario Manningham, 5-11, 183, Jr., Michigan: An excellent route runner who was a big-play maker in a big-time conference. But off-the-field issues will lower his stock.
