Some good WRs in the Big 12

[BrAinPaiNt]

Not sure who is coming out this year. And not all are the same type or in the top rounds.

Just some WRs I have noticed watching Big 12 games this year.

WVU David Sills V (not sure if he is coming out or not) led the nation in TDs. Guy was a former QB and this last season was the first season he committed to playing WR. Even though he is still learning he had exceptional Hands, seemed to run really good routes for 1st year WR and again led the nation in TDs. He also has good size. I just don't know if he has the speed that many covet

Texas Tech Keke Coutee(sp?) - Only watched Texas Tech a few times but this guy really stood out. Seems a bit on the small side but it seems like every time I watched them, he was making a big play down the field.

Iowa State - Allen Lazzard (sp?) - Big Guy with good hands. Not sure if he would be a possession WR or possible could be moved to TE but the kid is big and seems to make a play when they need it.

Oklahoma State - James Washington - not much needs to be said about him. Although not too big, Guy is a playmaker.



Feel free to add others, from big 12 or not, that you would like for us to take a look at.

Jaleel Scott, New Mexico St -- 6'6" / 215 / Sr
High on the pet cat list. Unless he surprises and runs slow, he looks like a first rounder to me. He does not run like the typical giant WR. I initially thought he was maybe 6'2" when watching his vids. Not a lumbering big guy. Kind of Plaxico Burress with good hands. Can change direction well enough to create separation and run more than go routes. Hands guy and giant catch radius. He'll be at the Senior Bowl.






DJ Moore, Maryland -- 5'11" / 215 / Jr
I'm a Maryland fan but I don't think this is bias. Big Ten WR of the Year despite all of Maryland's QBs going down to injury early (and not being good even when healthy). QB was a disaster. Still caught 80 for over 1000. Might be best to jump to the NFL when his value is so high. Easy 2nd rounder who could jump up if he posts great combine numbers. Also a punt returner this year with Will Likely moving on, but not a lot of opportunities. Compares to maybe a Randall Cobb type.




Richie James, Middle Tennessee St -- 5'9" / 170 / rJr
Caught 10 for 95 vs Alabama as a freshman. If he was 6'0" he'd go round 1. Plays bigger than his listed size. Looks like he has the necessary vertical and body control to make up for the size. If he can tear off sub-4.4 maybe people look at him as a fringe day 2 or early day 3 Emmanuel Sanders type, but more likely a late day 3 or priority UDFA. Does some RB work too. He's been the focal point of the MTSU offense for a few years and stands out even vs good competition. Injuries this year limited production but had 108 catches for 1,346 as a freshman and 105 catches for 1,625 as a sophomore. Mostly downfield and RAC. Probably stays for Sr year.

Lazard is a guy I've liked for years due to his height. He could be a nice pick somewhere in round 3-5. His range will depend on his workouts and 40 time.

Marcell Ateman is another OK State WR who has shown some ability. He's complimented James Washington pretty nicely and could be a good mid/late-round pick.

I'm tired of always having these 6'2"/6'3" WRs in the system with decent size/speed but that appears to be what they like with their outside WRs (Dez, Williams, Devin Street, Butler, Brown). Gimme 6'4"/6'5" possession WRs who you can throw 1 on 1 balls to besides Dez OR a smaller WR with elite vertical speed.

I'll take James Washington. He scores TDs at a high rate, can catch, and is fast. Not lightning fast, but fast.

WVU David Sills V : Would be interesting. Love former QBs who can really catch the ball because they know schemes.

Texas Tech Keke Coutee(sp?) - Correct spelling and he is a stud. Electric guy. Very Danny Amendola.

Iowa State - Allen Lazard (sp?) - Big Guy with good hands is right. Very good prospect.

Oklahoma State - James Washington - Texas kid with strength and speed. Elite technician too.

Another B12 guy I like is Derrick Willies. Iowa/Texas Tech ex. 6'4" and 215.
He would be an UDFA or 7th round type. Likely needs PS year to work on his hands.
But he fits Cowboys mold of plus blocker, solid special teamer who can make plays after the catch.
