Danario Alexander (Missouri) – 6045, 221, long arms 33 3/8”. Big target. Struggled to get off press coverage. A slot type receiver. Long strider with build up speed. Gathers up with body under control. Dorin Dickerson (Pittsburgh) – 6012, 222, long arms 33”, big hands 10”. A slot/H-back type receiver. Plucks the ball in his hands. Reliable hands. Played out on the perimeter during the week and was a willing blocker. More of a slot type receiver working against strong safeties and linebackers. Jacoby Ford (Clemson) – 5086, 181. Sudden quickness. Can make the overhead catch. Good pattern runner. Early in the week he played high in and out of his breaks, not dropping his weight. Hand catcher. Needs route refinement. Mardy Gilyard (Cincinnati) – 5115, 179. Slender build. Started out the week slow with several dropped passes. Improved through the week by running sharper routes. Quick in and out of the break. Lays out for the ball. Snatches the ball in his hands. Pulled away from Javier Arenas on a deep route. Quick release in practice versus bump coverage. Donald Jones (Youngstown State) – 6000, 212. Late addition on Wednesday. Hand catcher. Runs hard after catch. Needs to be more precise in his routes and sharp cuts in and out of the breaks. Taylor Price (Ohio) – 6001, 198. Catches the ball outside his frame. Reliable hands. Demonstrated straight line speed. Rarely had a drop in practice. Needs to fine tune his route running. Riley Cooper (Florida) – 6034, 214, hands 10 1/8”. Physical possession type receiver. Catches the ball in traffic. Streaky. Will drop routine passes at times due to concentration. Hand catcher. Willing blocker in the run game. Routes improved during the week. Shay Hodge (Mississippi) – 6013, 208. Physical receiver with strong hands. No hold up in practice against press coverage. A vertical receiver that can make the over the shoulder catch. Tracks the ball into his hands. Andre Roberts (Citadel) – 5106, 192. Consistent week of catching the ball in his hands. Held onto ball during game after a collision hit. Only drops were when he tried to body catch the ball. Joe Webb (Alabama-Birmingham) – 6030, 223, arms 33 ¾”, hands 10 ¾”. Wide receiver projection from quarterback. Big target. Developmental receiver with draftable qualities. Jeremy Williams (Tulane) – 6001, 205. Good route runner. Comes back to the ball. A hand catcher that makes good adjustments to a poorly thrown ball. Creates separation from corners. Has had two ACL surgeries in the past.
