I like this list. Roberts is going to be a solid player. Upside is the question. He may only be a slot guy. Price and Barnes have the potential to be productive #2 WRs at the next level. Sanders is comparable to Mike Wallace, albeit a little bit slower.
90% chance Roberts is just a slot guy, but I think he has the play making ability to potentially be more, just need to see how he does consistently against elite competition. He reminds me of Johnny Knox this time last year except I like Roberts' build a bit more, he's got more power in his lower body.I think Sanders has a mean streak in his game that may distinguish himself from other small-fast guys, he pursues contact, he's fearless, I love that about him.
Roberts is a lot squattier and thicker than Knox. He runs with the same bow-legged style of Santonio Holmes and Eddie Royal. That's why he's so smooth changing directions and running routes. I don't know if he has quite as much burst as those two, but he was one of the faster WRs at the combine with a 4.46. I think he has a chance to become a Holmes/Mason type. At the very least he should give his team a Davone Bess type of option out of the slot and some value in the return game.
As a UConn homer I have to pimp Marucs. Guy seemingly came out of nowhere last year, but take note that a) he is a former walk on who had to earn playing time and b) UConn's passing attack pre 2009 was dreadful.Easley is big and fast (6-2, 210 and has run around 4.4) and was absolutely dominant the last 8 or 9 games this year. Had a nice turnout at the combine, and his Pro Day is tomorrow. Another year at UConn and we'd be talking about him as one of the top WRs for 2011. Will still prove to be a bit raw but take note of where he gets drafted. End of homer rant.
