1. Limas Sweed, Texas Height: 6-4 Weight: 210 College stats: 124 receptions, 20 TDs Vital numbers: 4.50 40-yard dash, 4.33 short shuttle, 37 ½-inch vertical Limas stayed in college for four year and refined his route running and ability to read coverage's. There is a lot less risk with Sweed than many of the other receivers. He had 39 starts in college football as opposed to Devin Thomas with 13 college starts. As he said to me in our discussions, "I know how to get open, I can leap and the best thing I do is adjust to the ball." Sweed will not be in the dark when he lines up against NFL secondary, while some of the other candidates just might be lost. Finally, this guy has excellent character. Draft projection: Round 1. 2. Devin Thomas, Michigan State Height: 6-2 Weight: 217 College stats: 79 receptions, 8 TDs Vital numbers: 4.40 40-yard dash, 4.26 short shuttle, 33-inch vertical Right now, Thomas is the popular choice to be the first receiver selected and he may well be. However, 13 college starts, junior college prior to that and two different high schools works against his great explosiveness. I must say his 1.47 10-yard time is lightning quick and in a simple system he may excel early. Draft projection: Round 1. 3. James Hardy, Indiana Height: 6-5 Weight: 217 College stats: 191 receptions, 36 TDs Vital numbers: 4.49 40-yard dash, 4.22 short shuttle, 37-inch vertical Hardy had some off-the-field issues two years ago, and some feel he turns it down over the middle. It all may be true, but he has special physical skills and will be a red zone threat from day one. Hardy caught 36 touchdown passes in 32 college starts. He's almost 6-foot-6, with a good vertical leap and long enough arms to get to a ball almost 12 feet high. He is a former Indiana basketball player and a 5-foot-9 corner doesn't have a chance on the jump ball.

I think Devin Thomas is the top receiver. Sweed has been injured. I also like James Hardy of Indiana....if one of them dropped to the #32 spot....they would be tempting.
