Cincinnati Bengals
Round 1 • Pick 4
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Green is one of the finest receiver prospects in the last few years. Has the ideal length, refined route-running skills, hands, and big-play ability to become one of the league's top players at the position. Displays tremendous acceleration and fluidity for a taller player. Is a consistent vertical threat because of his outstanding combination of deep speed, height, ball skills and leaping ability. Very productive underneath gaining separation or catching the ball in a crowd. Occasionally has difficulty with bigger, more physical defensive backs and would like to see more attitude when run blocking. Was suspended once by NCAA but character appears to be solid. Green carries an early first-round grade, likely in the top 10.

Round 1 • Pick 6
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Jones has the prototypical build to become a No. 1 receiver. A vertical threat due to his height, strength, leaping ability, and speed. Generates big plays after the catch on screens and crossing patterns because of his physicality as a runner. Flashes outstanding hands and ball skills, will make the highlight grabs and haul in passes well outside his frame, but also struggles with bouts of drops. Needs to shore up his hands and route-running to develop into a consistent chain-mover at the next level. Plays aggressively, will go over the middle and block. A foot injury hasn't hindered Jones' upside, and he is projected to be a mid first-round pick.

Round 2 • Pick 32
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Cobb's a 'tweener lacking the size to be a full-time back or the ball skills and deep speed of a pure receiver. However, he could still make plays as a scat back, sub-package slot receiver and as a returner. Plays his best in the biggest moments. Possesses solid vision, enough quickness to get the corner and gain yards after short passes but isn't a true home run threat. Could be an effective third down back with his short area speed and route-running but hands need to be more consistent and he has a ways to go in pass protection. Cobb is a late Day 2 prospect.

Round 2 • Pick 26
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Smith has big-play speed and enough size to develop into a starting NFL receiver who can stretch a defense. Shows great burst off the line and the top-end speed to consistently get behind the secondary but is susceptible to press coverage and is still improving his ability to make over-the-shoulder grabs and come down with jump balls. Not a refined underneath route-runner. Loses speed in transition and doesn't have a real natural feel for finding creases in zones. Has leadership qualities, is a hard-worker, and is a physical run blocker. Smith's speed, upside and mentality make him an early second round prospect.

Round 2 • Pick 27
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Little was declared ineligible for the 2010 season, but he took responsibility for his actions and has the talent to be an impact player at the next level. He is a huge receiver with great ball skills that has a knack for making the difficult catch in traffic. He is a long strider that has deceptive speed and fights through tacklers to consistently gain yards after contact. However, he is not fast enough to be a big play threat and he will have to work tirelessly to get back into football shape. Little may end up being a steal in the middle rounds.

Round 4 • Pick 26
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Doss has the size and speed measurables, hands, savvy, and mentality to develop into a starting NFL wide receiver and potentially a go-to guy. Gets open underneath with polished route-running and good quickness. Eats up cushions in a hurry with elite burst off the line, has the straight-lined speed to get vertical, and the ball skills to track the football. Can make some plays in space. Very willing and productive over the middle and can catch the ball in a crowd. Hard-working, mature player who lets his play on the field do his talking. Doss is an early second round prospect.

Round 2 • Pick 12
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Young possesses the makeup and run-after-the-catch ability of an NFL slot receiver who could also contribute in the return game. Put a few really impressive statistical seasons on his resume. Has the quickness and speed to get open underneath but route-running is still somewhat or a work in progress. Was not being covered by elite defensive backs on a week-to-week basis. Size is an issue, as more physical defensive backs can out-muscle him, and limits his downfield big-play potential. Has some off-the-field and on-field behavioral issues that must be checked out. However, Young's production and "make you miss" talent will likely land him in the middle rounds.

Round 1 • Pick 26
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Baldwin is giant wide receiver that has the potential to develop into a starter at the next level. He is a speed builder that can get behind defensive backs and he quickly finds the ball in the air. He is a weapon over the middle, as he has strong reliable hands and the body control to make acrobatic catches in traffic. He is dangerous after the catch as he can run away from linebackers and over defensive backs. Baldwin has to refine his route running skills, but he could sneak into the first round due to his freakish measurables.

Round 4 • Pick 14
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Gates is a developmental prospect with big-play ability who has some makeup concerns but could become a valuable backup receiver and returner with time and more coaching. However, he's currently very unrefined as a route-runner, lacks some bulk (but is tough), and needs to improve his overall football IQ. At this time, can turn a short pass into an explosive play, but route-running deficiencies and his ability to track the deep ball limit his ability as a vertical threat. Needs to get stronger to beat press coverage and become a better blocker. Gates could sneak into the end of Day 2.

Round 3 • Pick 15
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Hankerson steadily improved from his sophomore through senior seasons when he became one of the most productive wideouts in college football. Has the size you like to see and enough speed but is a gradual builder who does not possess quick-twitched athleticism. Idles down at his stem and must rely on getting himself in between the ball and defenders more than gaining separation. Flashes the ability to go up, extend, and get the ball but also suffers from bouts of inconsistency with his hands. Tough kid with good intangibles who isn't afraid to go over the middle.

Round 6 • Pick 11
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Harris has enough ability and a polished skill set needed to succeed as a slot receiver in the NFL who can also contribute as a returner. Hard-working player who was productive in college. He can beat man coverage underneath and find openings in zones but doesn't possess the pure explosion to beat tight coverage. Not a threat to beat you deep but can create some big plays evading the first defender. His willingness to go over the middle and his effort while run blocking demonstrate his great toughness. Harris should come off the board in the middle rounds of April's draft.

Round 3 • Pick 19
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Jernigan is flat out a playmaaker who has the ability to make an immediate impact as return man at the next level. He has excellent speed to stretch the field and the hip fluidity to maintain momentum in transition and separate out of his breaks. He lacks the size to be a No. 1 receiver in the NFL, but he is a slippery runner in the open field after the catch and projects to be a weapon in the slot. Like all burners, he has a chance to be a second- or third-rounder if he runs really well.

Round 4 • Pick 15
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Salas is a sub-package NFL receiver prospect who put up some big numbers in a wide-open college passing attack. Doesn't possess a physical trait in the size or speed departments to be a mismatch at the next level. Has good hands but doesn't consistently make the highlight-reel grab or win more than his fair share of jump ball battles. Shows some understanding of route concepts but needs to refine his overall route-running technique. Has the mentality needed to do the dirty work over the middle and play on special teams coverage units. Salas is a mid-round draft prospect.

Round 3 • Pick 18
PLAYER ANALYSIS
After a monster senior season, Brown appears to be a sleeper in this year's draft. He is a bit undersized, but fights off the press effectively and has a knack for getting open in both man and zone coverage. He has adequate speed and a bit of a wiggle to make people miss in the open field. His greatest asset is his competiveness, as he plays angry and willingly sacrifices his body to make catches and is a great run blocker. Overall, Brown's physical attributes are less than ideal, but he is tough football player that could sneak into Day 2.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Kerley is a shifty wide receiver that could be a valuable asset as a return man at the next level. He is a very raw route runner, but he has the lateral agility to separate on underneath routes and a knack for making people miss in the open field. He could develop into a solid slot receiver with time. As a return man, he utilizes his strong hands to secure the ball in traffic and quickly hits lanes for positive yardage. Kerley will likely be a mid-to-late round pick due to his play making abilities.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Paul has the physical tools and mentality to become a valuable backup wide receiver and special teams player in the NFL. Has very good hands and makes some impressive grabs but route-running and separation skills are far behind his ball skills. Getting open on a more consistent basis would really help to complete his game. Can make some plays down the field vertically and in open space after the catch but won't really scare defenses as a true homerun threat. Tough player who has returned kicks, works hard when blocking, and will go over the middle. Paul's a mid-round prospect.

Lockette is a long way from contributing in the passing game at the next level, but he is a fierce competitor that could contribute on special teams. He has great size, reliable hands and a knack for getting open on underneath routes in zone coverage. Although he has good deep speed, he is a builder who lacks explosion off the line of scrimmage limiting his ability to separate in man. He also runs sloppy routes and does not show good balance out of his breaks. Lockette has a great attitude and potential which makes him a late round option.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Pettis looks like a solid backup wide receiver with the mentality to contribute on special teams. Is a very experienced player who was highly-productive in college, especially in the red zone. Has the natural ball skills and hands you look for in a receiver. While we worry about his ability to separate and get deep at the next level, he still makes so many plays in a crowd using his size and body control. Pettis frame, hands and production level in college will likely land him in the middle rounds of the 2011 draft.

Round 4 • Pick 17
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Shorts is a smooth, reliable, intelligent receiver prospect who was highly productive against lower competition but lacks a "wow" factor in terms of size, top-end speed and big-play ability. Is a smart, fluid route-runner who can beat zone but may lack the quick-twitched burst needed to separate from man coverage in the NFL. Susceptible to press coverage and doesn't win many 50/50 battles due to lack of strength but is still a highly competitive guy willing to take punishment over the middle and has very good hands. Shorts is a natural leader and a hard-worker who should be a mid-round selection.

Possesses the height and long speed to make some plays vertically, has the mentality to make tough catches in traffic, and has the work ethic and desire to refine his route-running on short-to-intermediate patterns. Good hands and a crafty route-runner. Needs to add some weight to his frame and is susceptible to the press and doesn't have the great short-area burst to consistently get open against man coverage at this time. Adams will attract interest with his competitiveness and intangibles. Mid-round prospect.

Has good initial burst and doesn't waist time at the top of his stem but isn't as fluid moving laterally and is still developing his ability to find his spots against zone coverage. Will make the highlight tape grab at times but also struggles with bouts of drops on easier catches. Can be a vertical threat due to size/speed combo and leaping ability. Will hang tough over the middle but needs to improve as a blocker. Hamler's a mid-round prospect.

Sanzenbacher is a crafty receiver with a great attitude that could contribute in the slot at the next level. He lacks ideal speed and suddenness, but he is a very savvy route runner that uses a variety of fakes to set up defensive backs. He has great hand eye coordination and makes difficult catches look easy. He is not going to get consistent yards after the catch, but he is fearless over the middle and very effective at moving the chains. Sanzenbacher is a very good football player and a coach's dream that will likely be a third day pick.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Moore has the height, hands, and mentality to develop into a quality backup possession-type receiver in the NFL. However, at this time still needs to put on some more weight and would really benefit from gaining a step of initial quickness. Takes too long to reach top speed and will struggle to gain separation on underneath patterns. Is tough and productive making catches over the middle. Has the length, ball skills and top-end speed to potentially make some plays vertically. Flashes the ability to be a good run blocker and needs to be a little more nasty. Moore's carries a Day 3 grade.

Toliver will attract the interest of some clubs with his sought-after combination of length, height and straight-line, top-end speed. Adept at running deeper routes or long-developing crosses at any depth. However, isn't a consistently dangerous deep threat at this point. Doesn't always come down with the 50-50 jump ball and can have alligator arms over the deep middle. Doesn't possess the quick-twitched athleticism or run the crisp routes needed to consistently gain separation on most short-to-intermediate patterns. Could afford to exhibit more effort when run blocking and has some character flags. Still, Toliver's frame and speed are coveted and he'll likely be selected on Day 2.

Robinson is an undersized receiver that could develop into a quality slot receiver at the next level. He fights off the press effectively for a smaller wide receiver and has the suddenness to gain separation in both man and zone coverage. He is a smooth athlete with tremendous focus that always catches the ball in stride, but he is not overly elusive in the open field. He does not have speed to get behind coverage, but he is fearless going across the middle. Robinson has great quickness and hands and may be a steal in the later rounds.

Binns has the frame, speed, and sticky hands required to become a starting NFL wide receiver. Additionally, awareness and ball skills will allow him to provide excellent depth as he matures in a starting role. Doesn't idle down when breaking as a route-runner and recognizes zone schemes but does not possess great explosiveness off the line or out of his breaks. Has some of the better hands in this class. Makes a lot of plays snatches balls out along the rim of his catch radius. Big play potential is there. Effort needs to be a littler more consistent. Binns is a Day 2 prospect.

Doesn't possess the suddenness or route-running skills to beat tight man coverage and needs to make better use of his huge catch radius and big hands. Maturity and work-ethic on and off the field are in question. Was arrested in 2010 on a disorderly conduct charge, has been caught playing at less than 100 percent during games, and doesn't physically dominant jump ball situations or over the middle. Brown's a high-risk, potential high-reward, developmental Day 3 prospect.

He also shows no hesitation working over the middle and usually finds open spots in zone coverage. He does not appear explosive enough to separate at the next level, as he struggled to get open against better competition in college. Sampson has worked extremely hard to overcome a foot injury that cost him two seasons and a team may take a chance on him for his size.

Flashes run-after-the catch ability but doesn't have great make-you-miss. Is sure-handed and willing in traffic but is a tough target to hit and idles down while making the catch. Shows good effort in the running game and works hard to overcome lack of size but has off-field character flags. Sanders isn't a refined prospect and doesn't have a high ceiling.

Dual-sport track athlete can explode off the line, is a smooth route-runner, and can get behind a defense but does not always track the deep ball or win as many jump ball battles as you'd like. Gains separation with speed but does not show great awareness against zone coverage. Makes the occasional tough catch but also drops accurate throws. Lack of effort run blocking and mental lapses could signal character issues. Late round prospect.

Pilares tore his PCL in the Hawaii Bowl and must first demonstrate that he is healthy. If he recovers from his injury, he can be an effective slot receiver. He has great foot speed and regularly separates from linebackers and defensive backs on crossing and drag routes. He also finds soft spots in zone coverage and is very difficult to tackle in the open field after the catch. He lacks the speed to stretch the field, but this converted running back is shifty enough to move the chains. Pilares will be a late round pick if his rehabilitation is successful.

Whalen is a hard worker with good size, but he lacks the physical tools to be a contributor at the next level. He does not have breakaway speed and he is a bit stiff in the hips which slows him down in and out of breaks. He will not be able to separate in man coverage, but he has a good feel for the game and gets open in zone. He flashes the body control and focus to make difficult catches in traffic, but he is too inconsistent in this area. Whalen's limited upside makes him a later round pick.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Burton is a developmental prospect with some tools (size, toughness) to work with to develop into a reserve wide receiver. However, he lacks the consistent hands, ability to separate, and big play potential of a starting NFL receiver. Comfortable in his stem on a straight line but isn't overly fluid working laterally and transitioning. Can be a difference maker in the jump ball department and can haul in the over-the-shoulder pass but does not have natural hands. Doesn't play timid over the middle and can make some plays in a crowd. Solid blocker who could become better. Burton's a potential seventh round selection.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Turner could develop into a reserve possession wide receiver with reliable hands who is capable of getting open underneath but does not have the speed or playmaking ability to become a starter. Runs pretty good routes in the short passing game, shows natural hands, and can make the first man miss. However, struggles to separate on deep routes, doesn't have the top-end speed to challenge vertically or the elite ball skills to consistently high-point the football. Turner's a hard-working, coachable player who gets the most out of his ability and will probably turn into a good special teamer. Late round prospect.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Gurley is a wide receiver in a tight end's body that could develop into a quality reserve at the next level. He is not exactly fast, but he is a long strider that can stretch the field down the seam. He uses his great length to make catches even when he is covered, but he does not have reliable hands. He also is a bit stiff in the hips and lacks the fluidity to get open in man coverage. Gurley is tough kid that seeks out contact as a blocker and works the middle of the field which makes him an attractive later round prospect.
