Wide Receivers

1. Randy Moss, New England Patriots

      Brady's still there right? He is? OK then.

2. Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts

      Depends on health of Manning, but we like his chances.

3. Terrell Owens, Dallas Cowboys

      Anyone watching Hard Knocks? Owens is a weird dude.

4. Braylon Edwards, Cleveland Browns

      Would be higher if, like the two previous guys, he had Manning or Romo throwing to him.

5. Marques Colston, New Orleans Saints

      Great red zone target, Brees' number one target, but will Shockey take away from him?

6. T.J. Houshmanzadeh, Cincinnati Bengals

      Return of Chris Henry will help keep defenses honest. So will hopeful return of running game.

7. Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals

      If Boldin leaves push down 15 spots. Will see nothing but double-coverage.

8. Andre Johnson, Houston Texans

      If he's healthy, enters top tier.

9. Wes Welker, New England Patriots

      In that offense, with his skills, guaranteed consistency.

10. Steve Smith, Carolina Panthers

         If punching his own teammates wasn't his thing, he'd be much higher.

11. Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions

         Frankly, he makes us wet ourselves.

12. Chad Johnson, Cincinnati Bengals

         Well, at least he's still got his cool end zone dances. Could plummet.

13. Plaxico Burress, New York Giants

         An injury concern all year, but usually plays, and plays well.

14. Roy Williams, Detroit Lions

         Will have some of his thunder stolen by Calvin Johnson, but good for a sporadic huge game.

15. Anquan Boldin, Arizona Cardinals

         Could skyrocket if he's traded to the right team. If not, could fall precipitously.

16. Torry Holt, St. Louis Rams

         Age and poor team catching up with him.

17. Santonio Holmes, Pittsburgh Steelers

         Big Ben's deep threat. Tailed off, but should get better.

18. Greg Jennings, Green Bay Packers

         Would be much higher if Favre hadn't left. Look for inconsistency.

19. Anthony Gonzalez, Indianapolis Colts

         If Harrison can't go or gets demoted to number 3, look for a Welker-esque year.

20. Nate Burleson, Seattle Seahawks

         By process of elimination. No one else is left in Seattle to catch the ball.

21. Brandon Marshall, Denver Broncos

         If it weren't for the suspension, he'd be much higher.

22. Jerricho Cotchery, New York Jets

         We have a sneaking suspicion he's going to be Favre's favorite.

23. Roddy White, Atlanta Falcons

         Should get plenty of opportunities as Atlanta tries to come back from large deficits.

24. Chris Chambers, San Diego Chargers

         Always tantalizes with his talent, but this will be his first full season with a good offense.

25. Hines Ward, Pittsburgh Steelers

         Sharing more catches with Santonio Holmes, but Steelers throwing more... maybe.

26. Lee Evans, Buffalo Bills

         Superstar potential in an average offense.

27. Marvin Harrison, Indianapolis Colts

         The beginning of the end, but has great rapport with Manning.

28. Lavernues Coles, New York Jets

         We like Cotchery better, but Favre might like Coles.

29. Bernard Berrian, Chicago Bears

         Used to playing with below average QB, but this one can chunk it deep.

30. Joey Galloway, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

         Age has to eventually catch up to him, right?

31. Donald Driver, Green Bay Packers

         He's getting up there, and he just lost Favre. Ouch.

32. Vincent Jackson, San Diego Chargers

         Was playoff performance a fluke, or sign of things to come?

33. Santana Moss, Washington Redskins

         Could thrive taking short, west-coast passes to the house.

34. Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City Chiefs

         Can Croyle get the ball to him?

35. Ted Ginn Jr., Miami Dolphins

         With Ronnie Brown, they're only offensive playmaker. Returns kicks too.

36. Reggie Brown, Philadelphia Eagles

         With Curtis' injury, becomes de facto #1 guy.

37. Patrick Crayton, Dallas Cowboys

         The number 2 guy in that offense should get some opportunities.

38. Jerry Porter, Jacksonville Jaguars

         Does he finally produce the way his potential says he should?

39. Derrick Mason, Baltimore Ravens

         Still the number one guy, but being pushed (oh, and can they get him the ball?)

40. Bryant Johnson, San Francisco 49ers

         Martz is gonna throw it, somebody has to catch it.

41. Darrell Jackson, Denver Broncos

         Has been a steady #2 guy for years, even when he was the #1 guy.

42. Devin Hester, Chicago Bears

         Even if he never truly learns how to play receiver, there's always those returns...

43. Donte Stallworth, Cleveland Browns

         Should be in single coverage most of the time.

44. Muhsin Muhammad, Carolina Panthers

         Had a good thing goin' once with Delhomme. Can they rekindle it?

45. Javon Walker, Oakland Raiders

         Seems disinterested and threatened retirement. Has the talent, though.

46. Amani Toomer, New York Giants

         Will probably get passed by the impressive Smith at some point, but not quite yet.

47. Reggie Williams, Jacksonville Jaguars

         The offseason surgery sets him back, but a real red-zone threat.

48. Kevin Walter, Houston Texans

         Good possession guy opposite Andre Johnson.

49. Isaac Bruce, San Francisco 49ers

         Certainly knows Martz' system.

50. Drew Bennett, St. Louis Rams

         At times showed so much potential in Tennessee. Can he recapture it?

51. D.J. Hackett, Carolina Panthers

         Could be #2 guy, though we think Muhammad will beat him out.

52. Antwaan Randle-El, Washington Redskins

         Like Moss, could thrive in the dink and dunk west coast offense.

53. Robert Meachem, New Orleans Saints

         Drafted to be the #2 receiver in this explosive offense. We think he makes it this year.

54. Michael Jenkins, Atlanta Falcons

         Well, they're gonna have to throw it a lot.

55. Marty Booker, Chicago Bears

         A #1 guy? This low? Yes, when he plays in the Bears offense.

56. Steve Breaston, Arizona Cardinals

         If Boldin leaves, will probably join the starting lineup. Returns kicks as well.

57. Brandon Stokley, Denver Broncos

         Perfect #3 guy, will there be enough balls to go around?

58. Roydell Williams, Tennessee Titans

         In line to be #1 guy, but Titans don't throw much to receivers.

59. Jabar Gaffney, New England Patriots

         Someone has to take over Stallworth's old spot.

60. Mark Clayton, Baltimore Ravens

         Should take over soon as #1 guy. Still, can they get him the ball?

61. Andre Davis, Houston Texans

         Filled in admirably for Andre Johnson last year.

62. Ronald Curry, Oakland Raiders

         Show signs of doing something, just hasn't done it yet.

63. Steve Smith, New York Giants

         Came on during playoffs, but Giants don't throw enough to validate drafting a #3 WR.

64. Kevin Curtis, Philadelphia Eagles

         Too bad about the injury. Depends how long he's out for.

65. Chad Jackson, New England Patriots

         Again, someone has to take Stallworth's spot.

66. Bobby Engram, Seattle Seahawks

         Looks like he's out until week 5, but worth a flyer here.

67. Arnaz Battle, San Francisco 49ers

         Pass-happy offense leads to lots of catches.

68. Devery Henderson, New Orleans Saints

         Didn't take his opportunity last year, and now it looks like he might have lost it.

69. Courtney Taylor, Seattle Seahawks

         Moves into the spotlight with injuries to Engram and Branch. Will he shine?

70. Sidney Rice, Minnesota Vikings

         Won't get too many opportunities, but has shown something when he does.

71. Deion Branch, Seattle Seahawks

         Who knows if he'll play, but at this point, worth a flyer.

72. Felton Huggins, Buffalo Bills

         Mr. Irrelevant a super-duper sleeper.
