							Pro Day - Justin Blackmon 
							widely was criticized when he chose not to run the 
							40-yard dash during the NFL Scouting Combine in 
							Indianapolis because of a hamstring 
							injury.Blackmon’s decision placed more importance on 
							Oklahoma State’s pro day, and he certainly did not 
							disappoint scouts when he ran Friday 
							
							NFL Network draft expert Mike Mayock 
							reported Blackmon ran unofficial times of 4.48 and 
							4.49 seconds at his pro day, putting to rest any 
							concern that he’d post a slow time in the 40. (The 
							St. Louis Post-Dispatch later reported, via Twitter, 
							that Blackmon’s official 40 
							time was 4.46). It’s a pretty good time is 
							what it is. There’s no question about that. I think 
							people thought he’d run in the low 4.5s. 
							
							One of the evaluators who was there said Blackmon 
							was very explosive and very powerful. He reminds you 
							a great deal of Michael Irvin with 
							one exception: His hands are good but not great like 
							Irvin’s. 
							
							The conditions were ideal. In addition to his 40 
							times, Blackmon had a 10-foot-3 broad jump, 35-inch 
							vertical jump, 4.43-second short shuttle, 7.22 
							three-cone drill. The cones were taller than usual 
							and the surface was slippery, however, so don’t take 
							his three-cone time at face value.

									BRS (Gollin) - The 
									4.46 forty at his pro day fills in the final 
									question whether a guy that big was fast 
									enough. Answer: "Yup!" 
									
									
									
									Pro Football Draft Guide – 
									
									
									A potential #1 receiver who should have no 
									problem earning the trust of his QB. 
									Certainly All Pro potential 
									
									
									From nfl.com - 
									Junior entry who twice won the Biletnikoff 
									Award. Has elite ability to contribute early 
									in the NFL/should be selected within the top 
									15 picks and start immediately. 
									Nice frame / actually seems taller than he 
									is. Elite jumping ability and can be a 
									jump-ball, red zone threat despite being 
									barely over 6 feet. Has Anquan Boldin-type 
									ability executing drive and underneath 
									routes /can excel from any spot on the 
									field. Severe mismatch working out of the 
									slot. 
									Extremely polished in his technique 
									in-phase, and incredible at varying his 
									speed to keep defenders off balance. Slow 
									off the line but releases with ease by 
									utilizing both his strength and jab steps. A 
									natural receiver who understands how to read 
									coverages and sit down in zones. A very 
									aggressive catcher who literally attacks the 
									ball when it is within his large catching 
									radius, / usse his frame to box out 
									defenders. Naturally adjusts to poorly 
									thrown balls on the run and can bail 
									quarterbacks out of poorly thrown balls. 
									 
									Not as quick off the ball as his athletic 
									ability suggests. Good top-end speed and 
									acceleration in the open field, but 
									struggles to burst in short areas to 
									separate. Has such an elongated stride that 
									he struggles running sharp routes. Playmaker 
									at point-of and after the catch is his 
									strong point; he doesn't get himself open 
									through route running. An all-or-nothing 
									blocker who can't recover once he whiffs. 
									(will need a lot of work on his technique 
									here). His long stride could be his biggest 
									problem at the next level. 
									
									ESPN (Scouts Inc.) - Not a 
									blazer but a strong route runner who flashes 
									some savvy. Good at setting up defenders 
									within stem to gain initial leverage. 
									Doesn't explode out of breaks with lateral 
									cuts but has enough body control to create 
									separation. Will shake head and shoulder at 
									the top of stem to freeze defenders. Sells 
									double moves well. Can uncover against zone 
									coverage with a natural feel for soft spots. 
									Good at coming back down the chute with 
									hooks, curls etc.  
									 |  
									| 
									Ball skills is an area of strength. Has 
									strong and natural mitts that swallow the 
									ball. Aggressive / attacks the ball. Can 
									snatch the ball out of the air without 
									breaking stride. Excellent body control / 
									makes catch outside his frame look 
									effortless. Uses strength and frame well to 
									shield defenders from the ball. |  
									| 
									Enough top-end speed to get behind coverage. 
									Tracks the deep ball extremely well and has 
									the size, strength and leaping ability to 
									win one-on-one down field battles. Not 
									overly elusive after the catch but a strong 
									runner who can break tackles and pick up 
									extra yards. Uses an effective straight-arm. 
									 |  
									| 
									Plays with good intensity and is fearless 
									working the middle of the field. 
									Above-average field and sideline awareness. 
									Fights for yards after the catch. Has the 
									frame and strength to be an effective 
									downfield blocker, but does not always give 
									great effort here.  |  |

									13. Cardinals - 
							
									Top of Board When Picked: Ingram, DeCastro, 
							Reiff, Floyd 
							
							
									BRS (Gollin) - Post-Draft: Adding a a #2 WR to take the pressure off 
							Larry Fitzgerald was considered one of two or three 
							major offseason needs (LT and Pass Rusher were the 
							others). Fitz lobbied hard for Floyd just prior to 
							the draft (and the Cardinal brass apparently 
							listened). The book on Floyd prior to the Combine 
							was that he was a big possession-type receiver with 
							some "issues" in his background and not a lot of 
							speed or explosion. His 4.47 Combine forty-time and 
							workout performance put most of that to rest. 
							According to one of the NFLN former-GM's: What he 
							brings to the table is (a) a reliable 
							counter-balance to Fitzgerald, (b) second fade-route 
							threat in the end-zone, (c) a ramped-up overall 
							passing-game threat in tandem with Fitz and Ryan 
							Williams (& I'd add Houser) and, ladies he (4) can 
							block in the run game. 
							That's the Kool-Aid take on Floyd. He was #11 on my 
							Board so getting him at #13 represented good value. 
							But I had someconcerns: (1) I rated Ingram (7th on 
							my board), DeCastro (9th) and Reiff (#10) a bit 
							higher overall. (2) Supply & Demand: I felt the 
							draft was deep in receivers and we could get a good 
							one later on; whereas there were only two fail-safe 
							LT and one Hutchison-caliber OG in the draft and 
							we'd better get one early, (3) the DUI & other 
							issues and (4) Although I saw Floyd run the 4.47 and 
							watched his workouts on tape, I didn't feel his 
							explosiveness and his ability to catch away from his 
							body matched the superlatives thrown around  by 
							the TV announcers. 
							That's what makes horse-races. It's water over the 
							dam now. We have to hope that the Cardinal front 
							office saw things a bit differently than I did and 
							rated him highest on their board at #13. One thing 
							about WR's - they suck up all the TV camera footage, 
							and it will be easy to see pretty early whether 
							Floyd fills the bill. One things for sure - If 
							Michael is all everyone says he is, our offense 
							should show tangible improvement. 
							
							
									Pro Day - 
							
							
							
							
							Floyd made himself some money Tuesday. He stood on 
							the 4.47-second 40-yard dash that he ran at the NFL 
							Scouting Combine, but he did the short shuttle (4.5 
							seconds) and three-cone (7.16 seconds) at the pro 
							day. He 
							is very fluid and runs good routes. He’s a big 
							target, has excellent speed and caught the ball 
							extremely well. He likely got a boost from having 
							former Irish QB Jimmy Clausen throwing the ball to 
							him, because the two are comfortable with each 
							other. He really moved himself up the charts Tuesday, 
							and again, his performance should at least have 
							people putting him side-by-side with Blackmon; as I 
							wrote, personally, I would rank Floyd higher. Floyd 
							is a little faster and a little taller, and he’s 
							been pretty productive in college. I think he should 
							be taken with the 11th or 12th pick in the draft. 
							
							Floyd is expected to be one of the top receivers 
							taken in the draft this April. He’s got a lot of 
							upside. He’s big and fast, and he’s caught a lot of 
							passes. 
							
							He was suspended in 2011 
							after being charged with a DUI, but otherwise he’s 
							what you want in a receiver: he’s big and tall and 
							he’s got really good hands. He should be taken 
							somewhere between No. 10 and No. 17 in the first 
							round. “I think it went well,” Floyd told NFL 
							Network draft analyst Mike Mayock after the workout. 
							“I performed well, you know, I caught all my balls, 
							ran good routes, was explosive off the ball, (and 
							did) what I think teams wanted to see.” 
							
							Floyd faces potential questions about his character. 
							Mayock asked Floyd how he handles the interview 
							process. “I come from the gut,” Floyd said. “I tell 
							them from my heart that, you know, what I did was a 
							mistake, and I learned from it, and I moved on.” 
							Floyd said at the next level, teams will expect him 
							to carry himself appropriately “Now that I’m going 
							to the NFL,” Floyd said, “you’ve got to act like a 
							professional; you can’t be like a kid out there, 
							just doing whatever you want to do; you’ve got to 
							act like a professional.” 
							
							According to Gil Brandt, "After the excellent 
							workout he had at Notre Dame’s pro day Tuesday, I 
							feel he conceivably could be drafted before fellow 
							blue-chip receiver prospect Justin Blackmon."
							Mayock -  Pre-Senior Bowl Position Rank: 2.

									BRS 
									(Gollin) - 
									
									The key issue with big receivers is their 
									straight ahead speed. Floyd's 4.47 forty at 
									the Combine was a pleasant surprise and 
									figures to move him up the charts somewhere 
									in the first round. 
									
									
									Pro Football Draft Guide 
									
									– A notch below Justin Blackmon as an 
									athlete but his skill-set is similar. His 
									size and physical nature should allow him to 
									have a lengthy NFL career as a reliable 
									starter.  
									
									
									From nfl.com - 
									Game changer with the size, aggressiveness 
									and game experience to make a difference 
									early in his NFL career. An extremely 
									productive threat both deep and in 
									possession as well as a physical blocker and 
									a reliable third-down playmaker. His 
									on-field maturity, physical nature and 
									ability to make the big catch will outshine 
									some off-field mishaps. 
									Projects to be one of the top 
									receivers off the board. 
									A polished receiver who can release and 
									burst off the LOS despite his frame. A solid 
									route runner who will consistently make the 
									big catch. Excellent athlete who is strong 
									and contributes in the run game with his 
									physicality on the edge. Tough across the 
									middle, He’ll make the tough catch and get 
									up-field. Floyd brings a #1 receiver 
									presence to the next level . Explosiveness 
									off the line and big frame make him a 
									presence felt by defenses. As a blocker, 
									he’ll do more than just mirror defenders, 
									(he’ll come down LOS and crack-back LB’s. A 
									red zone threat at any level . 
									Does not have game-breaking speed deep. 
									Consistency a concern. Prior injuries and 
									various off-field issues. could raise a red 
									flag.  
									
									ESPN (Scouts, Inc.) - Better than average 
									initial quickness for size. Uses feet and 
									long arms to beat the press. Reaches top 
									speed quicker than most tall receivers but 
									lacks ideal smoothness or suddenness with 
									routes. Uses his rangy body effectively to 
									shield defenders. Also uses length to create 
									separation at the last second (even when 
									blanketed). But gets away with some sloppy 
									routes due to his athletic superiority. May 
									struggle to adjust at the next level, 
									especially running intermediate routes. 
									Gears down too much and lacks great burst 
									out of his cuts. Still must become savvier 
									as a route runner and show greater attention 
									to detail. |  
									| 
									Has big hands that swallow the ball. 
									Occasionally will let the ball get into his 
									body. Very good at adjusting to balls thrown 
									behind him or over his shoulder. 
									Consistently will catch ball thrown over his 
									head. |  
									| 
									Mismatch for some DB's because of his size. 
									Won’t run by most cover corners in the pros 
									but he has enough speed to challenge 
									vertically and the length/hand-eye 
									coordination to come down with the jump 
									ball. Not very elusive and won’t consistency 
									make the first defender miss. Has good 
									vision after the catch and is a physical 
									runner who’ll break some attempted arm 
									tackles. |  
									| 
									Not afraid to go over the middle but clearly 
									more comfortable working outside the hashes. 
									Adequate effort as a blocker. Leaves his 
									feet a bit too frequently. Lacks great lower 
									body strength and struggles to sustain 
									blocks at times but is typically in good 
									position and can use his long arms and solid 
									upper body strength to shield the DB 
									sufficiently. Will get lazy at times and go 
									for the one handed catch when he clearly 
									should use both hands. |  |

 Pro Day (Brandt) - 
								  
					
					
							
								  
								  
								  Continued his meteoric 
								  rise up the draft boards with a fantastic 
								  workout. Hill (6-foot-3 3/4, 209 pounds) lit 
								  it up, as he went through drills in front of 
								  20 teams. Falcons head coach Mike Smith was 
								  there along with Bears coach Lovie Smith and 
								  Vikings coach
								  Leslie 
								  Frazier. Bills GM Buddy Nix was there to get a 
								  look at Hill, too. When you have three head 
								  coaches and a GM show up to a pro day, usually 
								  there’s consideration for a first-round pick. 
								  I would say Hill has gone from somebody who 
								  was not very well known to a first-round 
								  player. Stood on all of his combine numbers, 
								  and caught balls from QB Eric Ward, who used 
								  to play for the University of Richmond and was 
								  brought in for the school’s pro day. It was a 
								  smart move by them to bring in Ward. I didn’t 
								  include Hill on my first “Hot 100″ list, but 
								  he rose to No. 44 on my second list and he was 
								  No. 32 on my third. The best thing Hill did 
								  was work out with former NFL WR Terance Mathis 
								  at the IMG Academy. Mathis taught Hill how to 
								  run routes and took him from a person who was 
								  a straight-line streak WR to a guy who can 
								  really throttle down and catch the ball.
 
 BRS (Gollin) - 
								   Another 
								  blazer who happens to be really big. His 
								  diving catch on a deep ball at the Combine 
								  convinced me he had the ball skills to go with 
								  his straight ahead speed. And his vertical and 
								  broad jump scores suggest elite explosiveness.
 
 
								  
								  Pro Football Draft Guide – 
								  
								  
								  
								  A bit of a project, but if he can learn some 
								  of the position’s nuances, especially at the 
								  line, he has a chance to become a good 
								  X-receiver.

								  BP: 18 | VJ: 37.5 | BJ: DNP | 3C: DNP | 20Sh: 
								  DNP | 60Sh: DNP | Pro Day - 
								  He helped himself at the pro day. He ran 4.41 
								  and 4.38 in the 
								  40, but didn’t do the short shuttle and the 
								  jumps because he had been hurt. He did work 
								  out in positional drills and was very 
								  impressive. 
								  
								  
								  Gollin (BRS) - 
								  
								  Pro day forty time is super-fast for a big 
								  wideout. Only other negative is that he rounds 
								  off his cuts (question remains - is his 
								  problem mainly due to technique problems which 
								  can be coached out of him? Or does he lack 
								  explosion and COD athleticism)? 
								  If it's the former, I'd be inclined to upgrade 
								  him to #2 or #3 ranked wideout. 
								  
								  
									
									PFW Scout's Candid Comment -"Toon 
								  is a one-speed guy. He has no second gear. 
								  He's not quick or fast. He will block but he 
								  won't get dirty doing it. He takes plays off 
								  when his number is (not?) called. I did not 
								  like what I saw at all." 
								  
								  
								  Pro Football Draft Guide 
								  – 
								  
								  
								  He’ll never be a game-breaker but is an 
								  extremely safe pick. Should be a reliable #2 
								  receiver for a decade. 
								   
								  
								  
								  From nfl.com - 
								  Size is the name of his game. Al Toon’s kid. 
								  Might not run past many NFL defensive backs, 
								  but his overall awareness at the position, 
								  understanding of how to play to his strengths, 
								  and effectiveness in the run game make him a 
								  solid prospect. Should be an NFL mainstay 
								  after being selected somewhere in the second 
								  round. 
								  Understands how to run strong routes, using 
								  his size to make a play on the ball and move 
								  the chains. Not only is he an excellent 
								  mid-range receiver, he can also gain position 
								  on defenders downfield and make deep ball 
								  plays. Willing and definitely strong enough to 
								  be involved as a blocker in the run game. A 
								  red zone threat and go-to receiver on 
								  intermediate routes. Not the fastest receiver 
								  and it can show when he attempts to 
								  stretch the field. Has a tough time 
								  separating.. Ankle mobility is a small 
								  concern. 
								  
								  
								  ESPN (Scouts, Inc.) - Rounded off too many 
								  cuts and showed average burst out of breaks 
								  but a savvy and physical route runner. Set up 
								  breaks with footwork/head fakes and got 
								  defensive backs off balance on occasion. Sold 
								  initial route on double moves. Used hands well 
								  when corners tried to muscle him out of routes 
								  or slow him down at the line of scrimmage. 
								  Zone buster who can locate and settled into 
								  seams. |  
								  | 
								  Snatches ball with hands and doesn't have to 
								  break stride to bring it in. Above average 
								  sideline awareness /makes an effort to get 
								  both feet in bounds. Ball can drift away in 
								  space / vulnerable to trailing defender 
								  stripping it or ripping it out. |  
								  | 
								  Lacks a second gear when tracking the ball but 
								  is a long strider with enough speed to make 
								  the occasional play downfield. Strong runner 
								  who uses effective stiff arm and can pick up 
								  some yards after the catch but doesn't have 
								  breakaway speed and didn't shake many 
								  defenders in space. |  
								  | 
								  Not afraid to work the middle Hard-nosed 
								  runner who can lower shoulder and pick up 
								  yards after contact. Not overpowering but an 
								  effective blocker who can lock up and sustain 
								  or cut the legs out from defenders. Doesn't 
								  run every route with the same sense of 
								  urgency. |  |

							jump, a 4.17-second short shuttle and a 6.71-second

							about his explosiveness, but he did well with all 
							facets of getting open. Tennessee worked him out on 
							Friday; the Giants met with him Monday, represented 
							by receivers coach Kevin M. Gilbride. He’ll visit 
							with the Vikings on Tuesday and the Jets on 
							Wednesday. Jeffery likely made himself a

									BRS 
									(Gollin) - 
									As 
									with Floyd, everyone wants to know 
									how fast the big kid can run. 
									Since he didn't compete at the Combine, the 
									verdict is out on Jeffery's straight ahead 
									speed. 
									
									
									PFW Scout's Candid Comment -"He'll 
									get overdrafted. I don't like to grade the 
									program, but I worry how well Steve 
									Spurrier's offense translates to the NFL. 
									There  are a lot of rough edges to his 
									game I do not like...What 
									do you do with him? I remember Mike Williams 
									making great one-handed catches in the back 
									of the end-zone too. He's big and strong, 
									but he does not play hard and is not going 
									to get off the line (in the NFL). 
									
									
									"Pro Football Draft Guide 
									
									– Looked every bit like a Top 10 pick as a 
									sophomore before QB problems hit South 
									Carolina. We see him as a borderline #1 WR 
									in the NFL. 
									
									
									From nfl.com - 
									Averaged over a touchdown a game as an 
									underclassman. An explosive jumper with an 
									impressive frame and projects as an 
									immediate red zone threat in the NFL. Long 
									strider who is methodical in his route 
									running but has just average speed. Relies 
									on technicality and variations in his speed 
									to keep receivers off balance. 
									 
									Lanky/ uses his size Has a massive pair of 
									hands to go with his long arms and is an 
									elite receiver once the ball is in the air. 
									He has the anticipation and will jump to 
									high -point the ball over nearly any corner 
									he faces. Off the LOS, he is non-explosive 
									but uses his hands and a subtle jab-step to 
									keep defenders at bay. Works into his route 
									and gets back on top of his defender after 
									beating a jam. Has a natural feel for 
									turning to catch the ball in-phase and will 
									be a prime candidate for back shoulder fades 
									in the red zone.  
									An elite jump-ball prospect, but his value 
									will be heavily determined how he times in 
									the forty - he does not stand out as fast on 
									tape and is such a long strider that 
									sometimes looks like he’s in slow motion. 
									Must become more comfortable in his routes 
									to work the corner and truly gain 
									separation. Development of his route running 
									skills will be the key to his success. A bit 
									uncoordinated early on in his career. 
									
									ESPN (Scouts, Inc.) - 
									Below average initial burst off the line / 
									takes a bit too long to reach full speed. 
									Gets away with some sloppy route running. 
									Must improve his hand usage and overall 
									technique working against press coverage. 
									But he's a smooth-moving glider with a 
									natural feel for finding soft spots in zone. 
									Nice job with the tempo of his routes. Will 
									occasionally lull DBs to sleep with sluggish 
									first move before throwing it into high 
									gear. Lacks great top-end speed but does 
									show some burst out of his breaks and good 
									closing burst when the ball is in the air. 
									Very effective using his massive frame to 
									post-up DB's and frequently separates at the 
									last second.  |  
									| 
									Has an enormous pass-catching radius. Long 
									arms and big, strong hands. Can pluck on the 
									run. Engulfs the football. Good natural 
									hand-eye coordination and focus. Not fazed 
									by defenders around him and makes tough 
									catches in traffic look easy. One of the 
									better WRs in the country at tracking the 
									ball vertically. Gets his head turned around 
									quickly, locates the ball and attacks it at 
									its highest point. Very good balance and 
									body control for a big WR. Consistently will

									Will not outrun many DB's one-on-one, but

									balls. Has a knack for making big plays on 
									fade routes. Huge redzone threat. Lacks good 
									initial burst after the catch and not very

									and can be tough to bring down once he gets 
									a head of steam. Much bigger vertical threat 
									than he a run-after-catch weapon. |

									Clutch performer who plays big in big games.

									could do a better job sustaining at times. 
									But more often than not he gets in solid 
									position and is able to wall off. Goes

							Pro Day -He ran the 40 in 4.44 and 4.41
							seconds. On the run that he finished in 4.41, 
							Wright rolled a little on the start, and he probably 
							should have been made to begin again, but he wasn’t. 
							He has very good speed, and is very strong. Wright 
							will run as fast with a uniform on as he does in 
							shorts. He made two really unbelievable catches 
							Wednesday. He’s got very small hands; they measure 
							just 8 3/8 inches, which usually wouldn’t lend 
							themselves to making spectacular catches. But he did 
							on Wednesday. With his performance, and the fact he 
							ran the 40 in around 4.4 seconds, I think Wright 
							will likely be taken toward the end of the first 
							round, somewhere around the 25th overall pick. Also, 
							everybody “oohed and ahhed” at some of the catches 
							that 
							
							
							Wright made. The thing about him is, you can’t throw 
							the ball over his head on deep routes. But he’s a 
							very, very athletic guy who’s very strong.

							RG III's go-to option. Seeing Wright work himself 
							wide open for a long touchdown seemed to be a common 
							sight this season. Undersized but has the speed to 
							take the top off of NFL defenses. Athletic ability 
							is his greatest strength, / uses strong, polished 
							technique to make up for his size deficiencies on 
							the field. Has the wiggle and subsequent burst to 
							make a move on a defender and get up field. Ball 
							skills are on par with his overall skills / uses his 
							footwork to run strong routes . A smart, competitive 
							player who runs each route to win, (& he usually 
							does). Will have to improve his blocking and overall 
							strength but has the potential to be a first day 
							pick and make an instant impact. 
							
							
							 
							Knows how to use his athletic ability to his 
							advantage and is a dynamic player. Despite his size, 
							he is an effective and even lethal threat at the LOS 
							because he can get a quick step on a corner and be 
							open from the get-off. His quickness off the LOS 
							makes up for his size - he can get a free release 
							and get open in his route. A serious deep threat 
							with also the the quickness and ball skills to be 
							effective in the short-to-intermediate game. As a 
							route runner, he has an understanding of how to lean 
							on a defender to gain separation and stem his routes 
							to set-up his quick step to separate. Understands 
							the strong suits of his game and plays to them. With 
							the ball in his hands he can create plays for 
							himself and use vision and body control to weave up 
							field and bounce off would-be tacklers. Uncanny 
							separating from defenders and gettim open across the 
							fieldNot much of a factor as a run blocker. Eases up 
							when the ball is not coming his way - must be 
							involved in the game to be a factor at all. How well 
							he run NFL routes will determine this prospect's

								  – Primarily a possession receiver but he does 
								  have some big play ability in his game. A 
								  borderline #1 receiver.  
								  
								  
								  From nfl.com - 
								  Early-entry junior and a late riser. Burst 
								  onto the scene as the go-to option and was 
								  limited by inconsistent quarterback play all 
								  year. An impressive athlete who stands to 
								  significantly increase his value. 
								  A tall, well put together receiver with good 
								  balance throughout his route who’ll lean on 
								  his defender to create separation at the 
								  breakoff point. Still learning how to work 
								  routes downfield and is a strong catcher of 
								  both high and low balls. Good flexibility in 
								  his routes and really made progress in overall 
								  field awareness and in diagnosing coverages to 
								  find spots in zones.  
								  But still developing many of his skills - more 
								  of a "betting on the come" prospect. Looked 
								  uncomfortable running some routes within his 
								  route tree and isn't at a point where he is 
								  actively thinking about how to sell his corner 
								  on every play. Will take his eye off the ball 
								  across the middle and can be inconsistent with 
								  his physicality. Not a real sudden, explosive 
								  mover and could be blanketed early in his 
								  career. 
								  
								  
								  ESPN (Scouts, Inc.) - 
								  Uses size 
								  to beat press, 
								  but must be more consistent in that area. 
								  Natural size and long strides to help 
								  separate. Some savvy working against zone. But 
								  lacks explosive initial burst off the line and 
								  takes too many steps getting in and out of 
								  breaks. Will struggle to separate with 
								  quickness alone. Will always need to be a 
								  savvy route runner and make good use of size 
								  at the next level. Good at leaning into DBs 
								  and muscling them around (in and out of 
								  breaks) on short-to-intermediate routes. But 
								  can be a sloppy and undisciplined route runner 
								  and gets lazy when working backside. |  
								  | 
								  Very big, strong hands and long arms. 
								  Confident pass catcher. Can pluck away from 
								  frame and make tough catches over his head. 
								  Consistently can snatch on run. Outstanding 
								  body control to adjust.  |  
								  | 
								  Long strider with deceptive top-end speed. 
								  Could get over-the-top of man-coverage 
								  frequently in college but will struggle to do 
								  so in the NFL. Still has some vertical 
								  potential because of his long strides, size 
								  and hand-eye coordination. Not overly elusive 
								  after the catch but a bit more dangerous than 
								  anticipated. Agile feet for size. Can spin out 
								  of tackles. Can sometimes make multiple 
								  defenders miss. More aggressive and physical 
								  runner than expected. |  
								  | 
								  Inconsistent effort as a blocker. Has the size 
								  and enough strength to wall defenders off if 
								  he gets into position and works at it. More 
								  physical as a route runner than he is as a 
								  blocker. Competitive when the ball is in his 
								  hands. |  |

								  Criner was an outstanding AAU basketball

								  and does a good job catching the ball in

								  Should be one of the first five receivers

								  ability to simply make more plays than the man 
								  across from him. Effectively uses his great 
								  size when going for jump balls or when "boxing 
								  out" to catch balls in the short game.

								  talent alone legitimizes him as a prospect. 
								  
							
								   
								  Lanky but athletic - uses his jumping ability 
								  and large catch radius to his advantage going 
								  up for jump balls. Runs crisp routes and is 
								  explosive off the LOS. Gets a clean release 
								  with ease by using quickness and power, and 
								  understands how to stem his routes to keep 
								  cornerbacks off him. Deceptively agile for 
								  such a tall player and a reliable option in 
								  short areas. Uses his lateral agility to make 
								  defenders miss and get up the field for yards 
								  after the catch. A natural vs. zone defenses 
								  /finds his openings and quickly works up 
								  field. Emerged as Arizona’s go-to receiver and 
								  he the confidence to match up against the 
								  best.  
								  
								  But tends to disappear from games if not 
								  heavily involved in the action. Routes can 
								  look sloppy. Strong blocker but his

								  Serious hitches in his game, but a reliable

								  Uses his frame well when catching the ball 
								  short. Solid hands / will catch the ball with

								  than he is a technical wideout. 
								  
								  Big, wide and athletic receiver who uses his

								  He can struggle off the line but generally

								  the ball is thrown to secure the catch but a 
								  bit shaky going across the middle and facing a 
								  big hit. Effective after the catch with the 
								  ball in his hands and can make a small move to 
								  get up field. Very polished as a route runner 
								  and overall receiver.  
								  
								  But he’ll get caught peeking at incoming

								  From nfl.com -
								  
								  
								  
								  
								  
								  “Polished” is his watchword. Though 
								  undersized, he understands route concepts (how 
								  to get open and secure the ball). Ball skills 
								  and route-running ability alone could allow 
								  him to start very early at the next level.. 
								  His feel for space on the field and overall 
								  ability to understand defenses boost his 
								  productivity immensely considering his size 
								  challenges. Will have to (& can) work out of 
								  the slot at the next level. Before tearing his 
								  ACL in November, Broyles was a second-round 
								  talent. The impact of the injury makes that 
								  projection a bit iffy. 
								  Despite his stature, Broyles gets off the LOS well when given a 
								  free release or he gets to use a jab step. 
								  Pro-ready from a standpoint of overall 
								  football savvy and athleticism. Although he 
								  can make catches across the middle, he is most 
								  effective in space or being covered 
								  man-to-man, (he displays an uncanny ability to 
								  get open). An incredible catcher who can 
								  torque his body in any way necessary to secure 
								  balls thrown near him. Uses his body control 
								  to turn and secure the ball. Despite his small 
								  frame, he can turn and run through arm tackles 
								  at times. A great option as a short-receiver 
								  who can utilize his quickness and agility to 
								  separate and catch.  
								  Undersized and struggles catching in space. If CB’s get their hands 
								  on him at the line, he may find it difficult 
								  to break away and get into his route. The torn 
								  ACL may limit his (already average) 
								  straight-line speed and raise concerns about

							kept his shuttle, three-cone and bench. He had an 
							outstanding workout. Scouts said it was as good a 
							workout as they’ve seen from a receiver. Matthews 
							caught the ball and got speed. There are lots and 
							lots of receivers in this draft, but Matthews 
							managed to elevate his status with his performance. 
							I would imagine that he’s now a second-round pick.

							BRS (Gollin) - 
							"Floyd-Lite?" Nice size, with 4.45 speed to go with 
							it. Improvement during East-West Week demonstrates 
							resiliancy and "wanna." 
							
							Walter Mitchell (posting on ASFN) - Had his best year as a junior, 41/441, 5 TDs. Big target, 
							possession type...good in red zone. Played better as 
							the week went on at The East-West Shrine game. Runs 
							a 4.45. Kind of got a little lost in the WR talent 
							shuffle and coaching changes at Miami this past 
							season. Seems like a great kid---gives a great 
							interview. Enthusiastic, articulate. 
							Draft Scout Snapshot:
							2010: Started six of 13 games 
							for the Hurricanes... Third on the team in 
							receptions (41) and receiving yards (441)... His 
							touchdown catch against North Carolina (only one of 
							the year) proved to be the game winner. 2009: Second 
							on team with 33 receptions and third with 460 
							receiving yards … Started eight of 13 games for the 
							Hurricanes … Averaged 13.9 yards per catch … Set a 
							career-high with five catches for 83 yards including 
							a career-long 40-yard grab for his only touchdown of 
							the year against Georgia Tech. 2008: Played in all 
							13 games and made three starts … Team's 
							sixth-leading receiver with 21 receptions for 228 
							yards and three touchdowns … Caught the game-tying 
							touchdown - a career-long 26-yard reception - in the 
							final minutes of regulation in the come-from-behind 
							overtime win at Virginia.

							- WR LaRon Byrd, Miami (Fla.): Byrd came back from a 
							rough Tuesday (east-West) practice to become the 
							second impressive Hurricane on the field. At nearly 
							6-4 and 224 pounds, he took advantage of his size 
							Wednesday, elevating and high-pointing several 
							passes over the defensive back in coverage. After a 
							forgettable senior season, Byrd is helping his draft

											- The Spiders' pro day - Aaron
											
											Corp chose pro day at UR, where he 
											was comfortable in part because of 
											the presence of ex-Spider receiver 
											Tre Gray. "Definitely having Tre 
											here was good for me and him. 
											(Scouts) want to see him run, and 
											they want to see me throw," said 
											Corp. "We kind of fed off each other 
											that way." ...Corp was the primary 
											draw ...but Gray and ex-Spiders 
											cornerback Tremayne Graham also were 
											there trying to make impressions. 
											"Guys like me slip through the 
											cracks," said Gray, the 5-11 Texan 
											who is UR's career leader in catches 
											and receiving yards. "I know I'm a 
											huge risk. Small school. My size. 
											Not a big name. I'll be grateful for 
											an opportunity." - John O'Connor,

											756 yards to break the Spiders'

 BRS (Gollin) - Example of a 
							limited guy with one redeeming feature who might 
							fill a specific role.- pure speed. Decent size too 
							(no 'mighty mite" by any means). A feature 
							piece by Darren Urban says that Arukwe's Pro Day 
							time was actually a (wind-aided) 
							
							
							4.19. 
							Arkukwe is a California kid - came out of high 
							school a heralded DB and track star ready to head 
							for the Washington Huskies. But his scholarship was 
							only "partial" (& he'd have to come up with some 
							money - which he didn't have). So continued his 
							education at Modesto Jr. College and then moved to 
							Troy (Education came first; then Track).  But 
							he walked onto the football field and was thrust 
							into a WR role vs. Clemson. Cardinal and Viking 
							scouts were in the stands that day. They interviewed 
							Stanley after the game. The rest is history; not to 
							get ahead of ourselves - until he proves something, 
							he's just a track star who managed to get on a 
							90-man roster loaded with WR talent. But the 
							Cardinals could benefit from having a blazer stretch 
							the field for guys like Fitz and Floyd. Stay tuned.
 
 Walter Mitchell (posting on ASFN) - 
							One year player as a senior at Troy---the coaches 
							messed up and didn't leave a scholarship open to him 
							earlier---and since Arukwe is a track star the only 
							way he could compete in both sports was to be at 
							least on a half football scholie---but, he came in 
							as a senior and at first had trouble catching the 
							ball, which Arukwe said was his trouble in high 
							school and was why he played DB in high school 
							instead. But every day he got better and better 
							catching the ball, so in the first half of his first 
							game versus Arkansas he catches 4 passes for 84 
							yards. He didn't put up big numbers the rest of the 
							way---had one 51 yard catch---but he has been 
							training to play in the NFL and that is his goal. 
							BTW---check out the YOUTube video of him running a 
							4.1 at Troy's Pro Day. Seriously. A 4.1?You won't 
							believe how fast he is.
