I'd probably rate them like this, at least until the 22nd-25th:
1) Terrell, hands down. He could go #1 if SD doesn't trade down and he's worth whatever pick is used.
2) Alex Bannister. Won't be drafted in the first round, but if he gets into a situation with a good WR coach, he could be the second coming of Randy Moss. 6'5, 202 pounds, sub 4.4 speed (rumored to run 4.22). Scary measurables, but real questions about his attitude, motivation.
3) Koren Robinson. Like Bannister but 3 inches shorter. Really, really huge potential.
4) Santana Moss. Would be a perfect fit here as #3 WR and KR/PR specialist (not going to happen, just pointing it out...). Small in stature, but a threat every down and plays big in the big games.
5) Reggie Wayne. Gonna be a solid receiver for someone for a few years. Not sure how much upside/improvement is in his future, but he's as polished a guy as there is this year.
6) Quincy Morgan. Needs some work, but could end up the best of the group (of course you could say that about all 10...).
7) Chad Johnson. Combines will dictate how high he goes.
8) Rod Gardner. Solid but unspectacular. Will be a great possession guy for someone.
9) Freddie Mitchell. His future depends on how coachable he is. Huge upside, but I don't expect a great deal.
10) Bobby Newcombe. The sky is the limit in my opinion, but he's going to take some time to get there.
