Overview:

The receiver position is both top heavy and deep at the same time. Green, Baldwin and Jones all project as elite number 1 receivers. Beyond them you might have one or two other guys who could develop on that level, but mainly you are looking at good number 2 or number 3 receivers, up through the top 16. After that though while there are more projects I still think there is a lot of talent on the board. Even late in the draft I think you can find some contributors and solid special teamers
