With that in mind, is releasing Lance Zierlein's top-10 lists at each position -- today it is wide receiver. To view Zierlein's full scouting report on each prospect in NFL.com's , click on the player's name.Positions: | | | | | | | | 1. , AlabamaZierlein's bottom line: Won't dazzle with blazing speed or outrageous size, but is good in both categories. Complete receiver with game-changing ability to win downfield. Has the skill and twitch to be a consistent, high-volume target in the short and intermediate games with the ability to produce against any coverage. Cooper won't be able to run roughshod over NFL safeties like he did in college, but he should be able to help a pa sing game improve quickly.2. , West VirginiaZierlein's bottom line: He's not just a product of West Virginia's system -- he's talented. White showed off 23 reps on the bench pre s and a blazing 4.35 40 at the combine, proving he has the top-end speed to go with the size and strength. White came into West Virginia with very limited confidence, according to team insiders, but when he left, he had realized his rare talent. White lacks the polish of Amari Cooper, but some teams already believe he has the best upside of any wide receiver in this draft.3. , LouisvilleZierlein's bottom line: Parker does his best work when the ball is in the air. He uses his height and wingspan to consistently snatch anything that comes his way. Parker isn't going to overpower cornerbacks and he will have more contested catches than most explosive wideouts. He consistently posted eye-popping yards-per-catch numbers during his time at Louisville and showed off solid athleticism at the combine. Parker has the potential to be a legitimate lead Austin Adams Jersey receiver for a West Coast offense.4. , Central FloridaZierlein's bottom line: Rare combination of size, top-end speed and suddenne s that can be found in some of the best receivers in the game. His routes are sloppy and a work in progre s, but his hands keep him out of the top tier of receivers. His drops will drive teams crazy, but his physical traits and ability to hit the big play should warrant early-round consideration., Arizona StateZierlein's bottom line: Individual elements of Strong's game aren't awe-inspiring, but scouts really love the entirety of his game and where it is headed. His strength, size and ability to catch contested throws will be coveted by some, but his i sues with separation quickne s can only be solved if he becomes much better in his route-running. Strong looks the part of a physical, po se sion receiver with a relatively high floor.6. , MiamiZierlein's bottom line: Dorsett is an ascending prospect who has averaged more than 25 yards per catch since 2012. He can challenge teams vertically inside or outside and he has home-run potential after the catch as a slot receiver. With smaller wide receivers like and proving that small and fast can win in the NFL, Dorsett should be coveted by more than one team and has the potential to turn into a star in the NFL.7. , ex-Mi souriZierlein's bottom line: Long-strider with vertical ability to change a game and the catch radius and body control to make the difficult look easy. However, Green-Beckham struggles against physical cornerbacks, and is raw as a route runner with poor instincts when it comes to getting open. It's easy to bet on the traits when a receiver has high football character and is a willing worker, but teams could pa s on the traits early in the draft due to his perceived lack of work ethic and overall character.8. , Ohio StateZierlein's bottom line: Smith isn't just combine-fast, he's game-fast and he would have had more than 12 touchdown catches during the 2014 season if he didn't have to slow down and wait on throws so often
