Onto the 2010 Wide Receivers – (WR) Rankings \u2013 <\/strong><\/h3>\nDEZ BRYANT, Oklahoma State<\/strong>
\n Bryant is such an athletic marvel that he could just count on getting open in college, even when he ran sloppy routes. He\u2019ll have to tighten that in the pros, and show teams\u2019 top brass that his maturity level isn\u2019t a problem. Still, there\u2019s loads to like about this possible No. 1 receiver. Going at 6\u201d2, 220 lbs, he shows impressive musculature, adequate speed given his size and the ability to adjust to throws in the air. He hardly gets beat on jump balls and he knows where the sideline is. This isn\u2019t a stacked draft class at this position, but even with the potential red flags Bryant should be off the board in the middle of Round 1.<\/p>\nGOLDEN TATE, Notre Dame<\/strong>
\n This \u2018Golden Domer\u2019 has the golden top-tier speed that downfield passing games covet. Tate burned a 4.4 at the Combine and also impressed with 17 bench press reps, considering he is only 5\u201d10 and under 200 lbs. Tate has been productive at Notre Dame and can add a new element to an offense; he could project to be a Joey Galloway-type wideout. Translation: expect plenty of yards-per-catch. Tate also has the ability to turn a short completion into a game-changer. He\u2019s not a slam-dunk prospect, but all the same Tate should be off the board nearer the end of the first round.<\/p>\nARRELIOUS BENN, Illinois<\/strong>
\n Benn was a madly hyped prospect coming out of high school and his college numbers may have suffered somewhat due to the crappy passing situation in Champaign. He\u2019s a player with a tremendous overall skill set and likely possesses the tools to be a No. 1 wideout for a team at some point. Big, strong, physical and with enough speed, Benn will present match-up trouble for the majority of CBs. Different than some other WR prospects in this class, Benn runs polished routes, which is a bonus. His hands are a little inconsistent, but Benn should still straddle the first and second rounds.<\/p>\nDEMARYIUS THOMAS, Georgia Tech<\/strong>
\n Thomas comes from an offense that virtually never passed, but he has measurables that will make scouts drool. He goes 6\u201d3, 225 lbs and has astonishing vertical speed for a man his size. He will use his large frame to his advantage and displays naturally soft hands. You\u2019d expect a guy this big to be really physical, but Thomas is a piss-poor blocker \u2013 this must improve (it\u2019s even more galling considering he came from Paul Johnson\u2019s Yellow Jackets).
