Naaman Roosevelt-Buffalo*INSIGHT*

Roosevelt was very productive at Buffalo and brings a lot of experience as a WR.  He runs his routes with great precision, something that will come in handy when trying to make a roster.  As a pass-catcher, there is little to complain about with Roosevelt.  He is a dependable and sure-handed receiver who can jump above defenders to make the catch.  His future in the NFL will be exclusively as a possession receiver.  While he has good height at 6’0”, he lacks the proper amount of bulk for an NFL WR.  He will need to get in the weight room if he wants to survive hits in the NFL.  The thing that really kills Roosevelt is his speed and acceleration.  He doesn’t have a great amount of burst and doesn’t have the speed (4.69 sec) to separate from top NFL CBs.  He has a lot going for him, but will be limited due to his speed.  However, with a passion for the game like his, he will make a roster and see the field at some point down the road.

CHICAGO BEARS

Freddie Barnes-Bowling Green*INSIGHT*

It’s hard not to like this guy.  He comes to play every game and works hard at what he does.  And what he does is catch every single pass that comes his way.  Barnes was incredibly productive at Bowling Green and set an NCAA single-season receptions record last season with 155.  He also led the nation with 19 receiving touchdowns.  He is tall (6’1”) and can make just about every catch imaginable, showing solid body control in the process.  Barnes has a great understanding of the game and has honed his route running skills to almost perfection.  Like many others in this group, speed is what prevented him from being drafted.  Although pretty elusive, Barnes will never have the speed (4.62 sec) to beat NFL CBs deep.  He had some problems with knee tendinitis, which may deter teams away from a guy who already has questionable speed.  However, Barnes may surprise many down the road as a solid short-area possession receiver.  When looking at the production, his approach to the game, and his hands of glue, it will be hard to turn Barnes down a roster spot.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Blair White-Michigan State*INSIGHT*

You won’t find a much harder worker than White.  He walked on at Michigan State, eventually becoming the team’s receiving leader in his last two seasons.  He is as tough as they come and is willing to take shots to make the grab.  He has solid hands and can be depended on when the game is on the line.  He also has great size at 6’2” and 207lbs.  He won’t be the fastest guy out on the field but gets the job done with 4.49 sec speed.  White did have trouble separating from good CBs in college and it will only get tougher at the next level.  He may have trouble against physical corners and was knocked off his routes too often while with the Spartans.  However, White has the potential to become a serviceable third or fourth receiver in the NFL.  He also contributed on special teams as a gunner and adds value to his chances of making a team.  Coaches will love his work ethic and drive to play, making him a lock to earn a roster spot at some point.  On a side note, White was accepted to the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Chris McGaha-Arizona State*INSIGHT*

McGaha has one of the best pair of hands of this entire draft class.  Believe it or not, this was even with 20/60 eyesight – something he found out during the combine.  After Lasik surgery, he is now at 20/15.  So, imagine how good he’ll be now that he can actually see the ball.  He put some good numbers for the Sun Devils and is very dependable in the clutch.  He has great size at 6’1”, 200lbs.  Now he’s not going to burn anyone in the NFL but has decent enough speed to stay competitive (around 4.5 sec).  His rout running is solid and is something coaches will love to see.  He will struggle to separate away from NFL CBs.  He doesn’t possess a great amount of burst and is not explosive.  He is not very shifty and won’t make many people miss after the catch.  McGaha will have to make it in the NFL as a possession receiver, number 3 or 4 on the depth chart.  He is built for the role and will impress many with his ball catching ability.  There is no reason he shouldn’t make a roster.  In fact, I was pretty surprised to see he went undrafted.

Jeremy Williams-Tulane*INSIGHT*

Here’s a guy I was shocked to see go undrafted.  Williams was projected by many as at least a mid round pick in this year’s draft.  He just came off his most productive season and stayed healthy throughout the year.  He possesses prototypical size for an NFL WR at 6’0”, 204lbs – actually is built more like a running back.  Williams made some pretty impressive catches during his career at Tulane and has great hands.  His routes are crisp and he understands how to manipulate zone coverage.  He’s not a burner (4.59 sec) and is not the vertical threat you’re looking for.  Don’t underestimate him though, his game speed looks faster than he timed.  A big issue for Williams to answer is his durability; he’s torn his ACL twice and broken his hand.  He will have to prove he can stay healthy, in which going injury-free last season is a good sign.  Williams has return experience and may have to begin his NFL career in that area.  He has enough promise to latch onto a roster spot.
