2010 Draft Prospects - RB / WR / TE

Running Backs


C.J Spiller

Clemson

5'11

195

Spiller is seen by many as the number 1 RB in this draft class. He is a very quick back with game breaking ability. He can catch the ball out of the backfield very well and runs decent routes. He isn't a power / goaline back. He may slow if he trys to add more bulk.


Ryan Matthews

Fresno State

5'11

220


Not much is known about Matthews as he played at a small school. All of the stats point to a very effective 3 down back. Will be interesting to see how he performs at the combine.


Jahvid Best

California

5'10

185


Best had a very productive career at Cal. He is very athletic, quick and provides a big play threat. His small frame makes him very ellusive, but does make it difficult for him to break many tackles. Is seen as a speed back.


Jonathan Dwyer

Georgia Tech

6'0

235


This a a big powerful back. He has great size, power and will pound the ball between the tackles. Their have been questions about his conditioning in the past. He does not possess game breaking speed.



Dexter McCluster

Ole Miss

5'8

165


McCluster is a very, quick versitile back who can also line up at WR. He has big play ability both running and catching the ball. He does have a very small frame, and duribility may be an issue (even though it wasn't at Ole Miss).


Wide Recievers


Dez Bryant

Oklahoma State

6'2

210

Bryant is seen as the number 1 WR in this draft. His height and catching ability make him very dangerous. He is dominant on jump balls. His route running needs work. He doesn't possess electric speed.


Arrelious Benn

Illinois

6'2

214


Benn is a decent all round reciever. He has good speed and is good in space. His hands have struggled in his senior year.



Demaryius Thomas

Georgia Tech

6'3

229


Thomas is a big physical reciever, who can beat press coverage well. He has no problems going over the middle. He doesn't run good routes and lacks speed.


Golden Tate

Notre Dame

5'11

195


Tate has had some VERY good games for Notre Dame. They have a pro style offence, so this will not be a problem. He is very athletic and make good yards after catch. He is not a crisp route runner and does not have great speed.


Brandon LaFell

LSU

6'3

206

LaFell is a big physical reciever who uses his size extremely well. He has good hands and is impressive after the catch. He is inconsistant in his route running, and does not have the speed to be a deep threat.


Tight Ends


Jermaine Gresham

Oklahoma

6'6

250

Gresham has great size and can get off the line with ease. He has good hands. His routes need work, as does his blocking. He has had quite a few injuries and duribility may be an issue.


Rob Gronkowski

Arizona

6'6

250


A big question about Gronkowski will be how his back has healed after surgery. If there are any questions he will undoubtedly fall. A good pass catcher, but needs to work on his blocking.


Dorin Dickerson

Pitt

6'2

230


I have to be honest, I do not know much about Dorin Dickerson. I'm looking forward to seeing his performance at the combine.

Dennis Pitta

BYU

6'5

248

Pitta has spent his college career gathering WR numbers from the TE position. BYU are a pass first, pass second type team. Pitta undoubtedley is very effective in the pass game. I will be interested to see if his blocking is up to scratch.

Aaron Hernandez

Florida

6'2

250

Hernandez is a great redzone target and can adjust to a poorly thrown ball. He is good after the catch and is un affraid to go over the middle. He isn't the biggest TE an therefore struggles to block.

So here are a few names for you to look out for at the combine. How would you rank these players? If you have any questions or issues with my points please get in touch. Email nflgbview@googlemail.com, twitter - nflgbview, or leave a comment
