Randle was productive in a college system that leaned heavily on the pass attack, eclipsing the 1,000 yard mark in back to back seasons even though his touches were dominated by the aerial attack of the OSU Cowboys.  He has decent speed and shiftiness and is more of a technician who sets up tacklers as opposed to someone who flat out dominates a defense or flies by a defender.

He is reliable both in terms of injury as he never missed a game due to being hurt and he does not fumble.  He is not going to be a goal-line punisher though as his build is not great for short yardage territory.

At worst. he will compete with Lance Dunbar and possibly Phillip Tanner for the backup job to DeMarco Murray.  He should be a capable third down back who gets 5-7 carries a game.  He has no history of injuries so his durability should be something that Dallas can utilize at a position where this has not been an area of strength.

As a fifth round pick, Randle represents great value.  Dallas did need to address the back up running back spot with the free agency loss of Felix Jones and the durability questions that surround DeMarco Murray.  All in all, this was a good pick for the Cowboys.

But then again, Jerry Jones thinks this team could win a Super Bowl this year WITH. THE. CURRENT. ROSTER. http://www.foxsportssouthwest.com/02/25/12/Jerrys-delusions-of-grandeur-fall-flat/landing_cowboys.html?blockID=673946&feedID=3799

Jesus Christ…… Anyways, let us waste no further time. I’m using Walter Football’s rankings this week. Let me know if you think anyone should be included/excluded.

Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State

Blackmon is clearly the best wide receiver in the draft, as was his former teammate Dez Bryant in 2010. The difference is that he has no character questions and he might be a better football player.

Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina

Jeffery raised a lot of question when he came to Indianapolis overweight. That added to his problem of being slow and having to answer questions about his 40 time. He’s fighting an uphill battle to keep his number two ranking.

Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame

Floyd is a guy that makes me excited. He’s a guy you want on your team because he has huge hands and can make any catch. The down side is he isn’t very big and has problems going over the middle.

Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor

Wright was unstoppable with RGIII getting him the ball this season. He proved his speed and playmaking ability. However, I have to grade him down a bit because he was playing in the Big XII and the Big XII defenses are hot garbage. I think he’s a good prospect but he will need to prove himself.

Mohamed Sanu, WR, Rutgers

Sanu had a fantastic season at Rutgers with 115 catches and 1206 yards. He needs to prove he can run routes in the NFL over the middle of the field. Rutgers isn’t a  small school but Sanu needs to prove he can play with the big dogs.

Reuben Randle, WR, LSU

Randle was the top wide receiver on the #1 team in the nation (until the National Championship game). He is a huge specimen and should be good in the red zone. He’ll be a good steal in the 3^rd round if he happens to fall that far. He reminds me a great deal of Hakeem Nicks.

Dwight Jones, WR, North Carolina

Jones is a possession wide receiver that is extremely tough after the catch. He will need to adjust to playing in the slot in his first season, in my opinion.

Marvin McNutt, WR, Iowa

I think McNutt is an incredibly underrated wide receiver. He will be the steal of the draft at ANY position if he falls past the 3^rd round. I would advocate any team (including Dallas) taking a chance on him at that point. I love his route-running. He seems like a playmaker of the highest order.

Tommy Streeter, WR, Miami

He made big plays last few years but didn’t produce as well this season. He should stay in college. Would be a project for any team that selects him. I would need to see a killer Combine to have the confidence to draft him at all.

Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech

Hill has big size and is very fast. He needs serious development to become an NFL starter. He didn’t get many plays on a run-first team. He has been compared with Calvin Johnson and Demaryius Thomas (other Georgia Tech receivers) but I just don’t see it

This concludes the wide receiver portion of our coverage. Next week we will cover the running backs!
