WR Paul Richardson, Colorado -- Richardson was a guy who had some people's attention as a potential 2nd day pick at the start of draft season. But then more and more tape of Richardson became available (it's very meh), and more and more really good underclassmen declared, and now I really wonder how late into the draft Richardson could go. He measured in at the Combine as 6'0", 175 lbs, but he plays much longer than that with a good vertical and an ability to go after the ball at its highest point. He's got really good speed (4.40 40), but his measurables are really where the celebration ends. He's going to be a complete project at the next level; his route-running, separation, and blocking are all subpar. He can adjust to throws, but he's not very good at shielding off defenders. Ultimately, Richardson is going to need a couple seasons getting bigger and stronger, earn his keep on special teams, and if everything goes right, he's a #3 receiver at the next level at very best.
