WIDE RECEIVERS--4/29/2008

1. Randy Moss, NE--There's no denying that Moss is the best receiver on the best team with the best quarterback.

2. Terrell Owens, DAL--Tony Romo's maturation is like the fountain of youth.

3. Braylon Edwards, CLE--His third season in the league was miraculous. He'll only get better!

4. Reggie Wayne, IND--What's not to like from a player catching balls from Peyton Manning.

5. Larry Fitzgerald, AZ--The only thing holding him back is the health of his quarterbacks.

**********

6. Marques Colston, NO--I expect big things in year three.

7. T. J. Houshmandzadeh, CIN--Last season he got the scores. This season he'll get the yards as well.

8. Andre Johnson, HOU--Johnson does most with the least talent around him. Expect another productive season regardless of who is quarterbacking.

9. Steve Smith, CAR--Jake Delhomme should be healthy and Muhsin Muhammad and D.J. Hackett will provide the much needed support to free Smith for long gains.

10. Torry Holt, STL--With the loss of Isaac Bruce, Holt will be the main attraction.

11. Plaxico Burress, NYG--If he has recovered fully from the injuries that slowed him down in 2007 he'll be a top 5 pick.

12. Greg Jennings, GB--Jennings proved to be a touchdown mogul but what will he be with out Brett Favre? At least a top 15 receiver.

13. Anquan Boldin, AZ--It's hard not to like a receiver in a pass-first offense.

14. Chad Johnson, CIN--Once considered a top 5 receiver, Johnson's tantrums about wanting traded and his insistance that he'll sit out the season drops him in the rankings.

15. Santonio Holmes, PIT--Holmes was on the verge of greatness in 2007. He'll surpass it in 2008.

16. Wes Welker, NE--Welker came out of no where last season. New England's lack of a third receiver may stifle Welker's numbers in 2008.

17. Calvin Johnson, DET--Call me overly optimistic but I see Johnson performing a lot better than where he is ranked here.

Bobby Engram, SEA--Deion Branch will miss the first half of the season as he recovers from a torn ACL. Engram will benefit heavily in his absence.

18. Roy Williams, DET--The Lions will do what they do best...pass the ball.

19. Brandon Marshall, DEN--If Marshall makes a full recovery from the McDonald's bag incident he'll be a top 15 pick for sure.

20. Dwayne Bowe, KC--If the Chiefs can assemble anything that looks like a passing game Bowe will be in for a big season.

22. Chris Chambers, SD--Chambers landed in San Diego midseason and never really had a grasp on the playbook. Expect Chambers to be a bigger part of the offense in 2008.

23. Bernard Berrian, MIN--Despite the questions at quarterback, Berrian will be better than advertised.

23. Donald Driver, GB--Driver will likely post similar stats to 2007. Long on yards and short on touchdowns.

24. Jerricho Cotchery, NYJ--Cotchery would be ranked much higher if it weren't for the questionable quarterback situation in New York.

25. Lee Evans, BUF--Some day, one season, Evans will finally live up to his potential.

26 . Donte' Stallworth, CLE--If he can avoid injuries Stallworth will enjoy a breakout season.

27. Patrick Crayton, DAL--I think Crayton secures the number 2 receiving job coming out of training camp. If this holds true he'll easily be in the top 15.

28. Javon Walker, OAK--Between his injuries and Oakland's offense, it's tough to rank Walker too high.

29. Roddy White, ATL--White should remain a productive receiver in 2008 despite the questions at quarterback.

30. Isaac Bruce, SF--With his move to San Francisco, Bruce also becomes the number one receiving option. He'll be good; not great.

31. Laveranues Coles, NYJ--Coles is a reliable receiver...when he's healthy.

32. Santana Moss, WAS--Like Bruce and Coles, Moss is an injury risk. When healthy however, they can all pay dividends.

33. Anthony Gonzalez, IND--Should Marvin Harrison not return Gonzalez will be a HOT commodity.

34. Kevin Curtis, PHI--Second year in the offense and someone has to catch the ball.

35. Hines Ward, PIT--Ward has turned into a possession receiver. He's a high touchdown, low yardage type of player now.

36. Jerry Porter, JAX--It's hard to say how well he'll do as a Jaguar.

37. Joey Galloway, TB--Something tells me that there will be a passing of the guard in Tampa this season.

38. Reggie Brown, PHI--Brown had a so-so year in 2007. This should be a breakout season for him as a fourth year receiver.

39. Derrick Mason, BAL--A possession receiver who will get the yardage.

40. Nate Burleson, SEA--Will be the number 2 receiver until Deion Branch returns from a torn ACL.

41. David Patten, PHI--Patten should be the number 2 receiver in a pass-happy offense.

42. D.J. Hackett, CAR--He has talent but he's also injury prone.

43. Drew Bennett, STL--Bennett flopped as a starter in 2007. No where to go but up.

44. Ronald Curry, OAK--With an improved offense, Curry has a chance to do something.

45. Vincent Jackson, SD--A huge disappointment last season. With Chambers, LaDainian Tomlinson and Antonio Gates all vying for the ball, 2008 doesn't look much better.

46. Keary Colbert, DEN--He should be the Broncos' number 2 receiver but he has failed to impress when given the chance in the past.

47. Ted Ginn Jr., MIA--Ginn is primed for success this season. Watch and see.

48. Roydell Williams, TEN--As the primary receiver, he should see most of the yardage opportunities.

49. James Jones, GB--He might surprise but he is still a number 3 receiver with an inexperienced quarterback.

50. Muhsin Muhammad, CAR--Is there gas left in the tank? We will find out as he returns to the team that made him a star.

51. Marty Booker, CHI--Another receiver who returns to his old stomping grounds. Don't expect the Booker of 2001.

52. Shaun McDonald, DET--Don't expect anything close to what McDonald has achieved the last two seasons.

53. Brandon Stokley, DEN--Stokley moves up the rankings if Marshall can't play.

54. Mark Clayton, BAL--Remember when he was good?
