2002 Rookie Draft Class

Wide Receivers

Name

REC

Donte Stallworth
Tennessee

38	44	50	50	50
38	50	50	56	10
38	56	50	63	5
38	38	50	44	15
6	6	6	6	20

Outlook: Stallworth caught 41 passes for 821 yards for Tennessee last season en route to being considered one of the nation's best receivers. He definitely has a lot of upside and could be a star in the WTF. However, there are some red flags about his behavior that should caution owners to perhaps consider another option at receiver.

Tecmo comparison: Mike Sherrard

Name

REC

Ashley Lelie
Hawaii

38	56	50	44	60
38	63	50	50	10
38	50	50	38	20
38	44	50	31	10

Outlook: Lelie has great ability to stretch the field and keep defenses honest but his hands keep him from being a truly elite receiver.

Tecmo comparison: Willie Gault-lite

Name

REC

Javon Walker
Florida State

38	50	50	50	60
38	56	50	56	25
38	44	50	44	15

Outlook: Walker has all the talent in the world: great size, speed, and ball skills. However, he is very injury prone and may have trouble staying on the field. Walker is definitely a gamble but the upside may prove worth it.

Tecmo comparison: Vance Johnson

Name

REC

Jabar Gaffney
Florida

38	44	81	50	60
38	50	81	56	20
38	38	81	44	20

Outlook: Jabar Gaffney is the quintessential slot receiver. He has decent speed and holds on to the ball as well as anyone. Gaffney won't win games for you single-handedly, but could be a key cog in a winning team.

Tecmo comparison: Louis Lipps

Name

REC

Josh Reed
LSU

38	44	50	44	70
38	50	50	50	20
38	38	50	38	10

Outlook: Reed probably won't ever be a starter in the WTF but is another quality 3rd receiving option who should be a good backup.

Tecmo comparison: Don Beebe

Name

REC

Tim Carter
Auburn

31	31	50	38	60
38	38	50	44	30
31	25	50	31	10

Outlook: Carter isn't very fast and doesn't have great hands. He won't amount to much in the WTF.

Tecmo comparison: Quinn Early

Name

REC

Andre Davis
Virginia Tech

38	38	50	50	70
38	44	50	56	10
31	31	50	44	20

Outlook: Davis is another likely career backup who has good height and good hands to compensate for a lack of blazing speed.

Tecmo comparison: Tim McGee

Name

REC

Reche Caldwell
Florida

38	38	50	44	55
38	44	50	50	25
38	50	50	56	10
31	31	50	38	10

Outlook: Caldwell is a slot receiver with some decent upside who might provide a spark off the bench. A few scouts suggest he could be a starter down the line.

Tecmo comparison: Clarence Verdin

Name

REC

Antwaan Randle El
Indiana

44	50	50	50	60
44	56	50	56	15
38	44	50	44	25

Outlook: Randle El played quarterback throughout his college career at Indiana but will play the receiver position in the WTF. He has good speed and a good feel for where he needs to be on the field. He should be a solid starter in the coming years.

Tecmo comparison: Mark Ingram

Name

REC

Antonio Bryant
Pittsburgh

38	50	50	56	60
38	56	50	63	10
38	44	50	50	30

Outlook: When healthy, Bryant is among the most productive receivers around. His college career at Pitt showed he has the ability to be a #1 receiver in the WTF, and at the worst should be a reasonable #2.

Tecmo comparison: Mark Carrier

Name

REC

Deion Branch
Louisville

38	38	63	63	70
38	44	63	69	10
31	31	63	56	20

Outlook: Branch is a really strong possession receiver who caught 72 passes at Louisville last season. If speed is what you're after, look elsewhere for help. If first downs are what you want, give Branch a chance.

Tecmo comparison: Jessie Hester

Name

REC

Eric Crouch
Nebraska

38	44	50	25	60
38	50	50	31	20
38	38	50	19	20

Outlook: Eric Crouch was the Heisman winning quarterback at Nebraska last season. Like Randle El, he's attempting to play the receiver position as a pro, but unlike Randle El, he lacks the innate ability to handle the position change.

Tecmo comparison: Sam Graddy

Name

REC

Jason McAddley
Alabama

31	31	50	31	60
38	38	50	38	20
25	25	50	25	20

Outlook: McAddley may bounce around on some practice squads for a couple seasons but he won't amount to anything as a WTF player.

Tecmo comparison: Al Edwards

Name

REC

Ronald Curry
North Carolina

38	44	50	38	60
38	50	50	44	15
38	38	50	31	25

Outlook: Curry is the last of the three QB's-turned-WR's in this year's receiving crop. He's nowhere near as refined as Randle El but has more natural talent than Crouch. He should manage a roster spot for 2002.

Tecmo comparison: Don Beebe

Name

REC

David Givens
Notre Dame

38	38	50	50	60
38	44	50	56	25
31	31	50	44	15

Outlook: Givens has some talent but is a longshot for stardom in the WTF. He will need to stay healthy to stand a chance at success.

Tecmo comparison: Eddie Brown

Name

REC

Antonio Chatman
Cincinnati

38	44	50	44	70
38	50	50	50	5
38	38	50	38	25

Outlook: Chatman shows some potential as a punt returner and as a slot receiver, but he clearly cannot be counted on as an every-down player.

Tecmo comparison: Wendell Davis
