Caught an article on the slow start for Jags WR Justin Blackmon and noticed this gem:

rk .. name ..... team . pos . REC . YDS . TDs
1 Trent Richardson CLE - RB - 15 - 122 - 1
2 Kendall Wright TEN -- WR -- 14 - 102 - 1
3 Alshon Jeffery CHI --- WR --- 9 - 132 - 1
4 Coby Fleener IND ----- TE --- 8 - 98 --- 0
4 Rod Streater OAK ----- WR --- 8 - 68 --- 1
6 Josh Gordon CLE ------ WR --- 7 - 93 --- 0
6 Damaris Johnson PHI -- WR -- 7 - 107 - 0
8 Dwayne Allen IND ------ TE --- 6 -- 38 - 1
8 Doug Martin TB -------- RB ---- 6 -- 44 -- 0
10 Travis Benjamin CLE -- WR --- 5 -- 82 - 1
10 Stephen Hill NYJ ----- WR --- 5 -- 89 - 2
10 T.Y. Hilton IND ------ WR --- 5 - 128 - 1
13 Justin Blackmon JAC -- WR --- 4 -- 31 -- 0
I didn't realize that the entire WR class was not producing all that much, I thought it was just Blackmon but take a look at the above list.
Who do you feel will eventually break-out from this rookie class?

I did some checking and the above information is correct as a matter of fact the top receiver from this rookie class isn't a WR, its RB Trent Richardson.Here's the list of the top rookie receivers from the 2012 class:... Blackmon isn’t alone in rookie receivers running in neutral.
Of the 13 drafted in rounds 1-3, only Tennessee’s Kendall Wright has more than 10 catches, and only three players have reached 100 yards.
