NFL Draft Rankings: Wide Receiver

Wide-out is a weak position in this draft class, but at its top is a very underrated player:

1. Limas Sweed [Texas]
Tall and fast, the perfect combination make the lean Sweed this year's Calvin Johnson

2. DeSean Jackson [California]
Jacksons' lack of size limits him as a wide receiver, but as an athlete his return skills are unmatched, making him a golden commodity in this draft.

3. Early Doucet [LSU]
Doucet is small, but his speed and good hands make up for that. He projects as an excellent 3rd receiver/possession wide-out.

4. Devin Thomas [Michigan State]
Thomas is an underrated player this year. He has both the ability to run a great route for that short reception, and run a streak down the field as a deep threat.

5. James Hardy [Indiana]
I'm on the fence about Hardy. His size is great, but his speed is lacking. You have to project him as a possibility to convert to tight end.
