WR & TE Prospect Rankings

There are some dudes in this years class that can flat out go get the ball. Receivers seem to have one of the most seamless transitions from college to the pro's and are typically able to make a big time impact in their rookie campaigns. These are the top guys who I see making a splash next season...

1. Julio Jones, Alabama
The size. The speed. The hands. The athleticism. He's got it all. And more importantly he can do this...

2. A. J. Green, Georgia 

In my mind Green is basically the 1B option here, with Julio at 1A. Jones or Green, you can't really go wrong as both should become stars. With his 6'4'' 200 pound frame and 4.45 40 time, A.J. has NFL scouts drooling, which is why most Mock Drafts have him as the first receiver off the board. Green is flat out a playmaker, and his rare combo of speed and size makes him almost a can't miss prospect. 

3. Titus Young, Boise State 

Young is your pro-typical slot receiver that every team must have. When I look at Young he reminds me of guys like Steve Breaston, Steve Smith, and DeSean Jackson. Your burners, basically. He may be small, but like the men mentioned above, his speed more than makes up for that. With his blazing speed he is always a threat to stretch the field deep and is also very dangerous after the catch once he has the ball in his mitts. 

4. Leonard Hankerson, Miami 

Hankerson's stock skyrocketed after a remarkable senior season for "The U". The guy went bonkers in 2010 with 72 receptions, 1,152 receiving yards and 13 TD grabs. All of which were single season records for the Hurricanes. Hankerson may lack elite speed, but his size and soft hands will make him the next star wide out to come out of Miami, following the likes of Andre Johnson and Reggie Wayne. 

5. Jon Baldwin, Pittsburgh 

Opposite of Hankerson, Jon Baldwin really saw his draft stock slide a bit over the course of this last year. Baldwin had issues with his team and coaches, and really didn't perform as well as most expected. Even with this rough season, there is still no denying his talent which is why he should be a 2nd or 3rd round pick and a solid possession receiver at the next level. 

Alright, well since I'm on the topic of those who catch the rock, I figure I better show a little love to the big guys as well. While they are far less glamourous than wide outs, tight ends can be just as integral to an effective offense, and here's a short list of my top three ends available... 

1. Kyle Rudolf, Notre Dame 

2. Lance Kendricks, Wisconsin 

3. D.J. Williams, Arkanasas
