2009 NFL WR prospects

I don't want to harp the wr button too much, but they are getting a lot of chatter so i wanted to express my thoughts. I just watched YouTube videos on DHB, Percy Harvin, Jeremy Maclin, Hakeem Nicks, Michael Crabtree, Brian Robiskie and Kenny Britt.
Bare with me while i throw stats out the window and just comment on what my eyes see. I wanted to test one of those Vic Ketchman sayings and see who makes the biggest difference.
So here is my WR board

1. Derrius Heyward-Bey (DHB), WR Maryland
Do you remember last year when DeSean Jackson ran that punt back on TN and the announcer said he had video game speed and that he made it look all to easy. Well, that's how i felt when i just saw this guy. It was jaw-dropping amazing. Great hands, great acceleration. amazing.



2. Hakeem Nicks, WR North Carolina
Would have Crabtree numbers if he was at Texas Tech. The guy was quick and fast and could break big plays. His hands are amazing.



3. Michael Crabtree, WR Texas Tech
Not the fastest guy BUT he found ways to get open and has glue for hands. It might be because he played QB in high school, but i saw him on this one play run by the corner and look at the safety while slowing, safety looks the other way, Crabtree eases away. He will get yards-after-the-catch in the NFL. But i doubt he becomes a Randy Moss/Larry Fitzgerald guy.



4. Jeremy Maclin, WR/PR/KR Missouri
BIG play guy, always searching who to get behind so he can break free and turn on the jets. He did not run the 4.3 we wanted at the combine, but i think his pro day will be better and he told NFL network he has run a 4.31 before (his best). When he is in the open, he is comfortable and plays that way. He will always search.



5. Brian Robiskie, WR Ohio State
Mr. Smooth. He had a young qb this year, but if you watch him, he was ole reliable. You know like that good tool in your shed that you know will get the job done no matter how dirty or gritty the job may be. He'll run his routes, catch the badly thrown balls, and get all he can out of the play. No one will look for him to make the big play every time, but he can make it every once in a while. His biggest asset is his route-running (smooth) and his concentration.



6.Percy Harvin, WR/RB Florida
Big play guy but i wonder if he can be used correctly. Florida had him at multiple positions so him fitting the nfl offense as a wr could be questioned. He will more than likely be a slot guy. He knows where to go to extend the play and he is a fast man. Not 4.3 like we heard he would be, but he is still fast. His pro day might prove us wrong.



7.Kenny Britt, WR Rutgers
Reggie Williams with hands and what i mean by that is a big, physical reciever who can block extremely well and catch those red zone fades.



Just a quick run-through on wr's coming out this year that i did about a month ago.
