21 Mark Harrison WR, Rutgers 6-3 230 5.6 I Full Scouting Report

Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - "On the hoof," Harrison looks like Calvin Johnson because of his height and huge frame. He does a surprisingly efficient job of running routes and making cuts at full speed, and when focused is able to consistently pluck balls outside of his frame. He does a good job of using his strength and frame to create separation off his breaks against man coverage. Once he has the ball in his hands he is a highly competitive runner that is able to break arm tackles and drive through defenders for extra yards. He is a willing blocker capable of using base, leverage and foot quickness to sustain blocks.

WEAKNESSES - Harrison is a bit of a tweener as he lacks the burst and speed of a starting WR the physicality as a blocker to be a TE. He's a build-up runner that lacks natural explosiveness coming out of his cuts. He lacks the vertical speed to stretch the field and has to rely on his size to compete for balls down-field. While generally displaying the ability to pluck the ball away from his frame, at times he will lose focus on easy balls and let them get into his body. He's a catch blocker that must become more physical at the POA.

SUMMARY - Looking at Harrison physically before actually watching his play, I expected him to be a classic tweener; too limited athletically to play WR in the NFL, and too limited from a strength perspective to bulk up to TE. I was therefore pleasantly surprised when I started to break down his film, as he is a smoother than expected athlete that creates separation by making cuts at full speed and using his size and strength to fight off aggressive defenders. While he isn't an explosive down-field threat, he possesses good build-up speed and is reminiscent of Brandon Marshall after the catch because of his power and aggressiveness. He is also a capable, willing blocker but he must take better advantage of his natural strength and punching power to initially jolt defenders off the POA. Harrison must also show better concentration, as he tends to drop easy balls by turning upfield too quickly. Harrison is an intriguing receiver prospect with the upside to make him worthy of early day three consideration.

22 Emory Blake WR, Auburn 6-2 197 5.5 I Full Scouting Report

Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - Blake looks the part of an NFL WR "on the hoof," as he has good height and an excellent build. He is an excellent route runner that clearly has a strong understanding of zone and route concepts. While working between the hashes he is consistently able to identify open zones and sit down to make himself an easy target for his QB, and against man coverage he creates separation with a variety of quick cuts and head fakes. He runs routes at full speed, which allows him to sell his defender on down-field routes and create space off double moves. He displays soft hands when plucking the ball away from his frame, and does a good job of using his body to shield the defender from the ball when working in traffic.

WEAKNESSES - Blake lacks explosiveness off the LOS and out of his breaks, and does not possess the long speed needed to stretch the field vertically. He does not use his hands well against press coverage, and struggles to gain separation when faced with aggressive, physical defenders. He also is not an aggressive blocker, as he doesn't consistently get his hands out quickly or work to keep his body between his man and the ball.

SUMMARY - At first glance its easy to dismiss Emory Blake as a one-speed player that lacks any elite physical skills, but extensive film study shows that he is a savvy possession receiver that is capable of being very productive working against zone coverages out of the slot. While he has just adequate build-up speed, he runs every route and shows the ability to make cuts at full speed, which helps him disguise his routes and keep defenders on their heels. He is at his best working inside, as he does an excellent job of adjusting his routes based on what the coverage dictates and coming back to the QB to make himself an easy target. He flashes the ability to pluck balls away from his frame, but also understand when to use his body to secure the ball in tight spaces, and uses his frame to make it difficult for breaking defenders to play the ball. Blake is never going to be an X receiver capable of consistently beating the jam or stretching the field vertically, but his football intelligence and size will help him become a dependable, durable receiver out of the slot.

23 Ace Sanders WR, South Carolina 5-7 175 5.5 G Full Scouting Report

Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - Although Sanders did not time well at the combine, he plays much faster on the field because of his suddenness and ability to make cuts at top speed. He is a fluid route runner that has no wasted motions, allowing him to make subtle head and shoulder fakes into his breaks without gearing down. This allows him to create consistent separation when given free releases against off and zone coverages. He catches the ball consistently with his hands, and transitions quickly upfield after the catch without losing momentum and without losing focus and dropping easy balls. Once in space he is elusive and explosive, and possesses the open field run instincts to be a dangerous punt returner at the next level.

WEAKNESSES - Sanders has poor height and bulk for an NFL player, and appears to have limited growth potential. While long term durability will certainly be an issue because of his frame, his stature brings a number of other concerns with it as well. He is a completely ineffective blocker because of his lack of strength at the POA, and has to rely on cut blocks to try to chop his man to the ground. With the ball in the air he does not display explosive leaping ability, and is too easily outplayed by DBs on 50/50 balls because of his lack of physicality. He also displays a limited catching radius, and struggles to corral off target throws outside of his frame. When faced with press coverage, if he can't separate off the LOS with his initial quickness, he is too easily rerouted by physical defenders

SUMMARY - Ace Sanders was a fun prospect to evaluate because of his outstanding explosiveness and elusiveness with the ball in his hands. While his measured top end speed is not overly impressive, he is able to play at a consistently high speed because of his balance and agility, allowing him to consistently create separation by running tight routes and using a variety of head and shoulder fakes going into his breaks. While he displays good hands on balls within his frame, he struggles to get to balls away from him and has a limited catch radius, as one would expect with a player of his stature. His size and strength limitations will limit him to the slot at the next level, as he lacks the physicality to be an effective blocker or operate effectively against press coverage. He brings added value as a punt returner, as he catches the ball consistently and shows outstanding open field run instincts and is very decisive with his movements. He is worth an early day three selection, and because of his polished route running and ability to return kick he will be an immediate contributor.

24 Rodney Smith WR, Florida State 6-6 219 5.4 I Full Scouting Report

Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - A big, thick bodied receiver, Smith definitely fits the mold of the big wideout that NFL teams have been searching for. He has quick feet for a big receiver and while he lacks explosiveness off the ball, once he gets moving he has good playing speed. Fearless catching passes as he heads into traffic, he tucks the ball away fast so that he can hold onto it when he gets hit right after the catch. Blessed with soft, strong hands, Smith consistently reaches out and plucks the ball away from his body and shows the body control to adjust and catch off-target throws. He gets started up the field quickly after the catch, has the strength and balance to run through arm/grab tackles to gain yards after contact. For a big receiver he has better than expected agility to change directions and make tacklers miss. He uses his size and strength to block defenders out of the play when he stays over his feet and after the block.

WEAKNESSES - More of a smooth, fluid athlete, Smith lacks the explosiveness off the ball and out of his cuts that elite big receivers have. While he has good playing speed for a big man, he lacks the speed to get separation deep and to out-run angles while running after the catch. He needs to run sharper and more precise routes,; especially needs to improve his burst out of cuts if he is going to be able to get separation versus man coverage in the NFL. Although he can be a good blocker, he has a tendency to stop feet and gives up on block too soon at times. .

SUMMARY - Not a player I knew much about when I began evaluating EJ Manuel, but it quickly became clear that Smith is an athletic, big receiver with soft hands and a good runner after the catch. While his routes need work so that he can better get separation from man coverage, he does a good job of using his body to shield defender and catch pass. Although Smith is not a big name receiver, he has many physical traits of a starting NFL receiver. Overall, I doubt that Smith is going to be drafted as highly as I have him rated, but I am confident that if he improves his route running he could develop into a quality starting receiver.

25 J.D. Woods WR, West Virginia 6-1 190 5.4 I Full Scouting Report

Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - Smart and instinctive, Woods has consistently shown the ability to get open. Although he lacks explosiveness out of his cuts, he consistently runs sharp/precise routes and is fast getting his hands and hands around as he comes out of his cuts. He does an excellent job of using his size and strengh to shield defender and make catch while the defender tries to break up the pass. Big, strong hands and excellent ball skills allow Woods to reach out and easily catch the ball. He catches off-target passes and high throws with remarkable ease. Fearless, Woods does up confidently to catch high passes in traffic, tucks the ball away quickly, takes the hard hit and holds onto the ball. Despite lacking explosive quickness, Woods is able to get started up the field quickly after the catch and is a strong and productive runner with the ball. He consistently runs through arm/grab tackles and hard hits to gain yards after contact. Woods' size, playing strength and effort help him to be a consistently productive blocker.

WEAKNESSES - Woods' lack of explosive burst and top speed after definitely concerns. He lacks quickness off the ball to close cushion on cornerback. Additionally, because he lacks the speed to get separation deep cornerbacks are able to play off him , which will be an even bigger issue against NFL defenses as this will allow defenders to sit back and try to break on the ball. Much more of a smooth and fluid athlete, Woods lack of explosiveness and speed will limit him to being a possession receiver who cannot stretch the field or out run angles to score long TD's. .

SUMMARY - Not a player I expected much from when I began evaluating West Virginia because he had little career production entering 2012 and lacked an impressive measureables, Woods immediately made an impression with his ability to make tough catches and gain yards running after the catch. He is never going to be a game changer due to his lack of elite playing speed, but he has the tools to be a consistently productive possession receiver. As he showed at the West Virginia Pro Day, he is a better athlete than he gets credit for and has many of the tools to be a productive possession receiver in the NFL. Overall, I would not draft Woods early due to his lack of explosiveness and speed, but in the fifth round he would be a good selection because of his potential to become a quality possession receiver and a good coverage man on special teams.

26 Cobi Hamilton WR, Arkansas 6-3 209 5.4 E Full Scouting Report

Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - Strong and well built, Hamilton definitely looks the part of an NFL receiver "on the hoof." Having quick feet to go along with good agility and balance, Cobi is able to change directions fast to make tacklers miss while running after the catch. His strength to run through arm/grab tackles and elusiveness makes him a dangerous runner after the catch. Fearless catching passes in traffic, Cobi shows ability to catch pass and hold onto it when he gets hit right after the catch (When he reaches out and catches ball with hands). When the pass is outside the frame of his body he has good hands making the catch and can twist and adjust to make tough catches on off-target passes.

WEAKNESSES - Despite showing good speed once gets to full speed, he lacks explosive acceleration and does not show the speed to consistently get deep separation. He is not smooth or fluid running routes and actually looks choppy and awkward getting in and out of his cuts. Most problematic is that Cobi is a real body catcher who allows the ball into his body on all passes within his frame. This leads to the ball getting into his body, where he ends up fighting it and drops too many passes he should easily catch. Even though he is productive catching passes away from his body in traffic, he is not as productive when he body catches on passes in traffic as defenders can break up passes by making hit right as ball arrives and gets into his chest.

SUMMARY - After backing up Arkansas' big three receivers in 2011, Hamilton had a breakout first season as a starter catching 90 passes for over 1,300 yards. However, I was disappointed when I evaluated him on film because his routes are choppy, he struggles to get separation from man coverage and fights/drops too many passes he should easily catch. While he lacks premier speed, I think he has enough speed to be a big play maker in the NFL, but his struggles catching the ball consistently make it unlikely he will ever become the player he has the talent to be. Overall, I would not draft Hamilton as highly as he is likely to be drafted because of the reasons mentioned above. I think he will become an inconsistent starter who struggles with drops throughout his career, but continues to get playing time because of his ability to make big plays running after the catch.

27 Darryl Stonum WR, Baylor 6-2 195 5.3 I Full Scouting Report

Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - A sure handed receiver, Stonum has consistently shown the ability to adjust to catch off-target passes with remarkable ease. He uses his height, jumping ability and strong hands to go up and "high point" the ball over cornerback, which makes him a dangerous redzone weapon. Despite his off-field issues, Stonum is a smart player on the field. His smarts show up in his ability to use his hands and body to create separation vs. man coverage despite lacking explosiveness out of his cuts. He shows no fear catching passes in traffic, tucks it away quickly and holds onto the ball when he gets hit hard right after the catch. Quick to get started up the field after the catch with good playing strength and an aggressive running style, Stonum has consistently been productive running after the catch. A highly productive kickoff returner (He broke Steve Breaston's kickoff return yardage record in 2009), Stonum gets to full speed fast on return, has good vision and the strength and balance to run through hits and arm/grab tackles to gain yards after contact. Stonum's competitiveness shows up in his consistent production blocking downfield.

WEAKNESSES - More of a smooth and fluid athlete, Stonum lacks the explosiveness out of his cuts to consistently get separation from tight man coverage and will have more trouble doing so vs. NFL cornerbacks. Despite showing very good acceleration to full speed as a kickoff returner and after the catch, Stonum does not explode off the ball into his route. The biggest concern though is that Stonum was suspended for the 2011 season at Michigan due to repeated off-field alcohol incidents and then was dismissed from their program altogether when he ran into more trouble off the field. He must prove to NFL teams that he was just immatuare and that he does not have an alcohol problem.

SUMMARY - After making a big impact as a kickoff returner in 2009 and then finishing second on team in catches in 2010, Stonum was on the verge of a breakout season when his off-field issues lead to him missing the 2011 season and transferring to Baylor. A tall receiver with better than expected strength and excellent hands, Stonum has the physical talent to make it in the NFL. While he must overcome concerns about his character in order to succeed in the NFL, Stonum's ability as a kickoff returner could lead to him earning a job doing that while he develops as a receiver. Overall, Stonum is not going to be drafted as highly as I have him graded due to off-field problems, but if he can overcome this issues he has what it takes to be a productive kickoff returner and starting receiver in the NFL.

28 Devin Street WR, Pittsburgh 6-4 190 5.3 I Full Scouting Report

Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - Street is a very tall, rangy wide receiver with long arms and very long legs. He has naturally soft hands and does a great job of plucking the ball away from his body, especially in a jump ball scenario. Street is great at keeping defenders away from his hands like a rebounder does playing basketball, and it is his greatest strength. He will make plays in the red zone. He shows some real toughness holding onto the ball after taking the hit, as he is always going up high and coming down to get drilled. He is a naturally aware player who can find open areas in the defense.

WEAKNESSES - Street is not an elite athlete and he does not have the ability to run away from the defense. He does not show the elite "go" acceleration that elite wide receivers have. He has a thin frame and very little lower half strength, and he will struggle to get through the jam at the LOS. Street is not a player who will have an easy time getting open as he shows very little short area quickness and almost no ability to separate. He chops his feet to slow down, and it tells the opponent what he is doing. His long legs cause him to have little COD ability and a hard time getting open. He is not a quick accelerator and his foot quickness is questionable.

SUMMARY - Street is an intriguing player with natural hands and great pass catching ability in the red zone. He can elevate over a defender and play "jump ball" to get the ball at its highest point. He is a tough player who can take a hit to make a play, but he exposes a lot of his thin frame and his durability in the NFL is debatable. He does not have elite speed and won't run away from the faster players he will see in the NFL. He doesn't have a lot of lower half bulk and will struggle against the press at the LOS. He has very long legs and they are a problem from a route running perspective. He chops his feet into his break and trying to slow down. He doesn't change directions well and is not an athlete who can separate from defenders over a short area. In summary, he looks to be a one-trick pony as a pass catcher, without much versatility. Currently he is carrying a fifth- round grade because of his ability in the red zone and his play making ability.

29 Marquise Goodwin WR, Texas 5-9 180 5.1 J Full Scouting Report

Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - Goodwin made the U.S. Olympic track team in 2012 (long jump), and his elite top-end speed is clearly on display once he gets into the open field. He has the ability to catch the ball away from his body naturally, and has extensive experience returning kicks. ***Although he did not do it in the games evaluated, at the Senior Bowl he displayed good route running ability. He was smooth into cuts, had a burst out of cuts and was quick getting started up the field. In Mobile he flashed the hands to make tough catches on off-target passes. (It is important to not put too much stock in a player's performance at an All Star Game when he did not display these skills consistently in actual games).

WEAKNESSES - Goodwin has a slight frame and may not be able to pack on additional weight. He struggles to block in space in part because of his lack of bulk and natural strength, but more so because of his tendency to get overextended and out of control. He is too easily redirected by defenders that are aggressive with him in and out of his breaks, and must learn to run more disciplined routes. Twice in the games I evaluated the defense intercepted balls he was not aggressive enough coming back to. While he has elite speed he lacks elusiveness in space and is too easily brought down by arm tackles. He suffered two concussions during his senior campaign, and his long-term durability may be a concern. .

SUMMARY - Marquise Goodwin may have world-class sprinter's speed but he is very raw in terms of his football skills. He ability to simply out-run pursuit angles was constantly on display during kick returns at Texas, but he struggled to consistently break arm tackles and does not appear to be an elusive target in space. While he displayed good hands on the few opportunities he had catching the ball, he did not display precision in his route running and was not asked to run the entire route tree. He must increase his physicality in all parts of his game, as not only was he too easy to bring down but he struggled to sustain blocks and was too easily knocked off line. This being said, Goodwin does not have the natural bulk needed to play the position in the NFL and his frame appears to be maxed out. He's worth a gamble at some point on day three because of his ability as a return specialist, but some teams are likely to be scared off by his recent concussion history as well.

30 Brice Butler WR, San Diego State 6-3 205 5.1 I Full Scouting Report

Scouting Report:
STRENGTHS - Butler is a long athlete with a tall, slender frame. He is a smooth strider with long legs and arms. It is hard to tell whether he has great acceleration or not because of how limited he gets used at SDSU. Butler made a vertical play against Hawaii that looked great, he ran the seam and went up over the defender to get the ball for a score. He has average hands as he allowed the ball to get too far into his body in that throw, but there was no defender around. He can go up and get the ball in jump ball situations. He is a willing blocker but it is an area of the game to improve as he is not physical.

WEAKNESSES - Butler is not an elite pass catcher and he doesn't have great hands. He allows the ball to get too close to his frame where he will fight it. Butler is not going to handle the press at the LOS well at all, as he is thin and he will get pressed all over the field. Butler lacks short area quickness and the ability to separate from corners because of his long legs. He has a long stride and is not a player who will start/stop easily. He has a very thin frame and there have to be concerns about his ability to handle the punishment he is going to take in the NFL. There is very little production from his entire college career. Butler seems to be an afterthought in this offense as he is rarely targeted.

SUMMARY - Butler should be so much more productive than he is with his size/speed combination but the results just aren't there. He is a very raw prospect with long legs and arms. He has a very long stride and it takes him a few steps to get up to full speed, and there is very little short area quickness. He is not a very polished route runner and he doesn't have the short area quickness that could set him apart from other receivers. He is not a physical player and teams are going to press him because he can't fight through it. At this time, Butler is a vertical threat only and nothing more. Butler deserves sixth-round consideration at this time because of his ability to attack the defense vertically and his size/speed combination.
