It's a testament to the nature of practice, of course; drills often favor the receiver over the cornerback. But in recent years, it's also an example of the team's good work in finding late-round and undrafted contributors. Three examples are on the current roster: Bennie Fowler, Jordan Taylor and Kalif Raymond.
The depth of quality receiving prospects is why it always pays to take a close look at the receivers who project as mid-to-late-round prospects. Here's five who've caught my eye in recent months:
RIVER CRACRAFT, WASHINGTON STATE |
HEIGHT: 6-0 - WEIGHT: 193
BENCH PRESS: 15 repetitions
One of the deepest sleepers in this year's draft, Cracraft looked poised to become a mid-to-late-round selection before he suffered a torn ACL against California last Nov.
