NFL Draft Wide Receiver Class Extremely Deep

NFL Draft WR Class Extremely Deep

Apparently I’m not the only one who thinks this years wide receiver core is elite. SI.com draft analyst Tony Pauline stated today that he believes the 2012 WR class is perhaps the deepest position in the 2012 draft. “I’ve got 41 receivers with draftable grades, and typically you’re only looking at about 31 to 33 that get drafted,” Pauline said. “You’ll be able to get some really good receivers in rounds two, three, even four and five. But the best you’ll get in that range is a No. 2 guy.” This factor could push top-rated receivers Michael Floyd and Kendall Wright down the board some.

So aside from the ones you know, lets take a look at a few mid round prospects.
