    Robinson's a guy I'd like in the 5th or later if we don't draft a guy the first 2 days of the draft. I don't know if I agree with him being next in line after those guys, but he'd fit well.

    I agree 100% with the first three in your ranking though. I don't think Floyd's there at 16 though and there's not a huge gap between him and Hill in my mind. The main advantage Floyd has is proven production.

    I think that's spot on. He's a good compliment to go with an explosive speed merchant at #1.

    Hill is the inverse of Alshon -- speed and not enough ball-catching ability. I've seen a freakish catch he made on Youtube, but the catching and the body positioning are not there. Physical freak, though.

    Spot on, with his size he will help in the run blockling and be a perfect posession wideout. With Kerley in the slot and Holmes/Alshon outside that would be a really good combo. He is the Plax with out going to jail in my opinion.

    im a clemson fan and ive been watching him play for the last two years. have to say hes a rare talent at the college level but at the pro level im not sure. not a very good route runner and simply dominated based mostly on his size, which he wont be able to do in the nfl. also, it was his interviews at the combine that really turned him off to teams so that is what they mean by character concerns. Jamarcus Russell didnt have character concerns coming out of LSU but once he got his money he did, and he just didnt have the mindset to be a complete player in the league. Not saying i wouldnt take him round 3 but just giving the other side of the view

    Everything I've read about is that he is going to have major issues separating from cornerbacks in the NFL.

    alshon jeffrey in the 3rd would be a dream come true, but I just don't see it happening. teams like the jaguars, dolphins, rams, would easily jump on him in the 2nd round. in my opinion, he can be the best wide receiver in this draft class
