Welcome to draft season! This is the first of 11 positional breakdowns leading up to the NFL draft (April 27-April 29). Here are my top 10 wide receivers:
— 1. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (Jr., Ohio State, 6-foot, 196 pounds)
The Buckeyes had two receivers drafted in the first 11 picks last April. Smith-Njigba out-produced both as a sophomore, setting school records for single-season receptions (95) and receiving yards (1,606). An injury-riddled season dampened his stock, but he's checked out fine during the draft process. He's a manipulative route runner who uses his body language and varies his speed in order to create space wherever he is on the field. Projected: Round 1
