With the mediocre 40-yard dash generated by Oklahoma Malcolm Kelly and the ill-advised decision to blame the school for his performance, the receiver whom many thought had the best shot at being picked in round one is now likely to fall out of the first round.
And with Kelly’s stock dropping, some league insiders believe that there now could be no receiver picked in round one this year.
Other pass-catchers who are sliding include Limas Sweed of Texas and Early Doucet of LSU.
The last time round one expired without a receiver being drafted was in 1990. That year, Alexander Wright, Reggie “The Human Bobblehead” Rembert, and Mike Bellamy were all second-round selections.
Two years ago, Santonio Holmes was the only receiver selected in the first round, at No. 25.
