Which college receiver would you want?

[BaileyTheBest]

Jackson, Doucet, or Bennett for me.

[BIG HOUSE]

DeSean Jackson is a mediocre receiever at best...he is however a superb return man

[Earl10Dores]

no

Earl Bennett will not be a second round pick

Ryan is not the best QB in this class, Woodson is and then Brohm. Woodson went 260+ pass attempts w/o an INT

This guy is a joke if he thinks Mario Manningham will be a first round pick

[martz11]

70. Matt Ryan, QB, 6-4, 220, Boston College
Classic pocket passer has made nice strides over recent seasons.

Matt Ryan at 70???????????? Prolly the best qb in this class...

[martz11]

Greg Carr
6'6" 215 lbs.

Lifetime at FSU...
72 rec
22 TD's

28% of his catches are TD's, thats an amazing stat.

He might be a sleeper pick if he comes out this year.

[Dream]

Kelley or Iglasius

Both are studs with GREAT hands, and above average route running/speed.

But WR isn't exactly a bronco need, atm.

This thread wasn't to homer out in, and by the way it's Iglesias.

[Max Power]

I've seen Sweed, Kelly, and Doucet a few times each and liked what I saw, especially from Kelly (who I think compares favorably to Detroit Lions WR Roy Williams). However, WR is not a 1st round need at all. It's painfully offense that our biggest needs lie on defense, specifcally DT and LB. We need a replacement for Sam Adams (Frank Okam would be fantastic), and Amon Gordon is awful. Hopefully, Marcus Thomas will be ready to replace him soon.

[MindField]

One that can replace D Hixon as a kick returner...although we may be better served drafting CU CB Terrance Wheatley for depth there and he can be a good punt returner as well.

As a receiver, I like Bennett or the Kentucky kid, Burton. Both look like good Pro prospects.

[rcsodak]

Kelley or Iglasius

Both are studs with GREAT hands, and above average route running/speed.

But WR isn't exactly a bronco need, atm.

[Broncosfreak_56]

I would love DeSean Jackson in the slot. Just imagine his speed with Jay's arm.

[Dream]

It'd depend on what you wanted to do, and it depends on for what team.

The Broncos?

It'd also depend where we selected him.

I really do like D.J. Hall, I think he'd be great here.

[BVP]

DeSean Jackson.

[BIG HOUSE]

i want to say manningham but i think he is going to get dominated in the pros by big DBs, hes too thin and doesnt elude the big hit like a harrison or bruce does
