2012 WR Thomas Johnson

[glazeduck]

2011 class > French is 6'6" #220, Lyerla is 6'4" #220, Vaughn is 6'2" #195, Kelley is 6'2" #175, Blackmon is 6'0" #175, Thomas is 5'9" #160 and Sumler is 5'8" #160

2012 depending on who's list you check has several prospects that are 6'1" to 6'5" at WR and several ATH, TE who are in the same range.

I was under the impression that Vaughn was closer to 6'0, but regardless, he's a JR. Kelley has some size too but based on his highlights he's pretty much a straight-line deep ball guy. Certainly with a few years of work on the field and in the weight room he could turn into that kind of guy, but I would prefer to land a physically dominant WR who could step into that type of role, and let the speed guys remain speed guys.

French, reportedly, has terrible hands and I think he'll end up at DE or Rush OLB, and I for one, don't think Lyerla's abilities will be used to the greatest of their potential at WR.

Honestly, after watching highlites of all of them, Sumler plays the closest to a possession wr we have, ironic given that he's the smallest and fastest of the bunch...

I want a Keyshawn Johnson/Alshawn Jeffery type wr!

Agree with everything except, Lyerla has the potential to be a physically overpowering wide receiver of the Jaison Williams type. Tight-end size for blocking, adequate WR speed, RB ball skills.

I think in your possession receiver category one or two of the following group will work into the two deep: Dungy, Cantu, Cole, Huffman or Murphy. Murphy and Cole are a lot faster than most fans realize and have good length. Huffman had the best short shuttle among all the receivers last year and is a tenacious blocker with a solid frame and good hands. Cantu and Dungy seem to be well rounded with good football iq.

I am not sure where Lowe fits in. Blazing speed, running back skills. A full time WR as a Jr in high school then a Tazer as a Senior. Will he be a slot, Tazer or a Terrance Scott like wide-out? Look forward to seeing him in the Spring to see where he lands.
