I’d be happy with Bowe, Rice or Meachem in the first round. hill
it would be a steal in the second, but it probably won’t be available.
Allison, Higgins and Gonzalez would be good second-round picks.
The other guys would be solid third-round picks.
1. Robert Meachem 6’2 214 4.39 Tennessee
NFL Comparison: Javon Walker
Meachem has everything you’re looking for in a receiver. he pairs up
excellent size with breakneck speed. He can hit you deep or take a
short 70-yard touchdown pass. He had 71 catches for 1,298
yards and 11 touchdowns in college’s toughest conference
football. His production is unmatched by any of the other WRs.
Guides. You need to work on the road race and your ability to
beat the jam He also needs to show NFL teams that he’s tough and
ready to go in the middle.
2. Sidney Rice 6’4 200 4.51 South Carolina
NFL Comparison: Randy Moss
Rice is a tall and deceptively fast receiver. You can jump or run
by almost any defender. His body control is incredible. he just looks
catch the ball naturally. It is an excellent vertical threat as
as well as a great red zone target. He has very soft and natural hands.
He had 72 catches for 1,090 yards and 10 touchdowns in the SEC.
He is still very raw and needs to run better routes and become
more physical at the line of scrimmage.
3. Dwayne Bowe 6’2 221 4.50 LSU
NFL Comparison: Anquan Boldin
Bowe is a great physical possession receiver. he is a good athlete

to block. He has had concentration problems and has fallen
passes. Needs to run better roads. He had 990 yards and 12 TDs last
season.
4. Jason Hill 6’1 204 4.35 Washington St.
NFL Comparison: Reggie Wayne
Hill has been a productive WR for the past three seasons with
nearly 3,000 receiving yards during that time. is a very polished
and a good versatile receiver who knows how to open up. he runs
precise routes and has enough speed to beat you deep.
5. Aundrae Allison 6’0 192 4.39 E. Carolina
NFL Comparison: Chad Johnson
Smooth athlete. Good speed and good route runner. run nice
good after capture. A legitimate deep threat. productive with
almost 1,800 yards and 11 TDs in the last two seasons. Hears
he needs to become a more physical WR, and he needs to show teams
He has a good attitude and work ethic.
6. Johnnie Lee Higgins 5’11 186 4.52 UTEP
NFL Comparison: Santana Moss
Higgins is a great athlete who is a terror to face in the open field.

He runs good routes and is a great deep threat. Even though that him
lacks height and volume, will run over taller defenders and catch
the ball like Santana Moss and Steve Smith do regularly
base. He was incredibly productive with 82 catches for 1,319 yards.
and 13 tutorials. Its only negative aspect is its size. have problems with
physical corners as he struggles to break through the jam.
7. Anthony Gonzalez 6’0 193 4.44 Ohio St.
NFL Comparison: Patrick Crayton
Gonzalez probably won’t fit in very well with the Cowboys because his is
almost identical to Patrick Crayton. He is a small possession
receiver that knows how to open. He could be a little faster
than Crayton, but he’s still primarily a possession WR. He has
amazing hands He had good, but not great production last season.
with 734 yards and 8 TD.
8. Craig Davis 6’1 207 4.46 LSU
NFL Comparison: Roddy White
Davis is a pretty good all-around receiver. he has a good
combination of size and speed. It was almost as productive as
Dwayne Bowe was. He was LSU’s big threat. he runs well afterwards
The capture. It is soft and does not like to cross in the middle. Hears
has a great advantage, but may lack the toughness and desire to
be a great NFL WR.
9. Paul Williams 6’1 205 4.45 Fresno Street.
NFL Comparison: Terrell Owens
Williams is a guy with all the physical tools in the world. He is a
smaller version of TO He is more of an athlete who plays WR than a
athletic WR. His hands aren’t great and he doesn’t run well.
roads. The production of him as a senior was non-existent. he is however
really strong and fast. He can stretch a defense, break up a tackle,
and a defender jumps. Worth a 3rd or 4th round pick
because of its potential, but most likely it will be a dud.
10. Brandon Myles 6’0 183 4.41 West Virginia
NFL Comparison: Demetrius Williams
Myles went under the radar because he was on a running game.
He put respectable numbers on such a scheme (522 yards and 8
TD). He has great deep speed. He is a smooth athlete with great
body checking. Myles needs to get bigger and stronger. He too
needs a lot of technical work wise. He is a guy who seems to be
waiting for the opportunity to prosper.
